Draw mode on the plan

Walls, openings, stairs, and measured geometry.

:ui-icon[draw-mode] Draw mode

Use draw mode on the situation plan when the reference is not sufficient or when you want to add geometry yourself. The complete workflow is described in Drawing walls and openings.

Draw a curved wall

Curved walls use the same :ui-icon[draw-wall] Draw wall tool:

  1. Click to place a first point and start dragging immediately. This creates a control point.
  2. Release at the control point. This point determines how the wall curves.
  3. Click a second time to finish the curved wall with an end point.
  4. If the three points form a 90-degree angle and are equally spaced, you have a perfect quarter circle.

Light dashed lines connect the start and end points to the control point. Two equally long, perpendicular guide lines produce a quarter circle.

Curved walls

Curved walls are limited. You can draw only one curved segment at a time, which can represent a quarter circle. To create a complete circle, draw four separate segments. They are joined automatically.

You also cannot place windows or doors on curved segments.
