Editing tools

The "Edit" section of the main toolbar on the "3D Model", "Diagrams: Analysis" and "Diagrams: Detail" tabs contains the following tools:

Editing

The options in this section allow you to perform the following editing operations on the installation elements entered in the model and the diagram:

Label

The options in this section allow you to perform the following operations on the labels of the installation elements entered in the model:

	Move label in 2D mode	Moves the selected label on the element's plan view.
	Rotate label	Turn the label to face the correct way.

Notes

The options in this section allow you to insert the following drawing elements into the installation diagrams:

Reference line

Enters a reference line that can be used to indicate the layout of the scheme’s elements on the different floors of the building.

Polyline

Inserts a polyline using points, either continuous or broken, specifying its colour and line weight.

Add a continuation point

Inserts a continuation point by selecting one previously defined in "Settings" or by creating a new one and customising its appearance (colour, ID, type, etc.).

Text

Inserts a text box that is left-aligned, right-aligned or centred, with horizontal or vertical text flow. You can specify the text colour and size, as well as the border and background fill properties.

Table types

Insert captions or tables containing additional information into the diagrams. When creating a table, it can be of the "Generic" type, in which case you specify the number of rows and columns and fill in the cell contents using a free-form editor; or of the "Caption" type, in which case it can be "Automatically generated" based on the elements arranged in the diagram. Table types can also be managed using the relevant option under “Settings”.

Groups of elements

Create or insert groups of elements in the workspace using the "Groups of elements" option in the "Edit" block on the main toolbar, in both the "Diagrams: Analysis" and "Diagrams: Detail" tabs. Groups of elements can also be managed using the relevant option in "Settings".

In addition, the "Edit" section of the main toolbar on the "3D model" tab contains the following tools:

	Edit	Edits the parametric properties of the selected element in the model.
	Move a group	Moves a group of items.
	Move item	Moves an element or a node within an element.
	Divide	Splits an element in two at the selected point.
	Symmetry (move)	Moves a selection of elements symmetrically about a vertical plane defined by two points.
	Copy to another floor plan	Copies a selection of elements to another floor plan. This feature is only available in floor plans.
	Extend/truncate to intersection	Extends or trims two selected elements to their point of intersection.
	Equalise	Assigns the properties of one drawing resource to others. When you select a drawing resource, any resources with the same properties are highlighted in orange.
	Delete	Deletes a previously entered item.
	Copy	Create a copy of one or more items.
	Turn	Rotates an object around the "x", "y" or "z" axes.
	Symmetry (mirror)	Copies a selection of elements that are symmetrical about a vertical plane defined by two points.
	Adjust height	Adjusts the vertical position of a selection of elements.
	Extend/trim element	Extends or trims an element relative to a reference element. The first element serves as the reference, whilst the second is extended or trimmed after applying the option.
	Measuring lengths on a plane	Measures distances and angles between points defined in the model. If a closed contour is selected, it also calculates the area.
	Geometric transformations	Edits the size, position or label, or rotates an existing element.
	Increase/decrease the size of a group	Changes the size of a group of elements.
	Rotate a group	Breaks up a group of elements.
