"Basic Drawing" Toolbar

  • Wall Measurement (Method) – allows you to use the wall measurement method during construction. It is used when measuring panels and sloped ceilings, when the front surface is measured directly, not its projection.

    • When you click the button, a warning window appears: "when enabling the wall measurement method, all existing constructions will be canceled. Continue?"

    • When canceling the wall measurement method, a warning window also appears. When canceled, all constructions will also be canceled.

Vertices

  • Last Angle – field where the last angle on the drawing is specified.

  • Number of Angles – input the number of vertices in the drawing.

  • Apply – applies the entered number of angles to the drawing construction.

  • Manual Construction – switch to construction mode with arbitrary addition of points and lines.

  • DXF / Import from DXF – load drawing in CAD format (AutoCAD, Kompas, etc.)

Quick Construction

  • Number of Angles – input the number of vertices in the drawing.

  • Radii – length and width dimensions for quick construction figures. If the dimensions are the same, you can fill only one field

  • Build Ellipse / Semi-ellipse / Rectangle / Heart – quick construction of a figure of the specified type.

Operations

  • Build Step by Step – allows you to build the drawing step by step. The program shows you each angle and asks if it is built correctly. If not – it rebuilds it, if yes – it moves to the next angle. And so on until the entire ceiling is built. This operation only works if the side lengths are already set.

  • Mirror – mirror reflection of the constructed ceiling

  • Rotate – rotation of the constructed figure by 90 degrees.

Scale

  • Zoom In / Zoom Out – image scaling.

  • Entire Drawing – automatic scale adjustment so that the entire drawing is visible on screen.

Assistant

  • Assistant – call the construction assistant

  • Screenshot

  • Load Measurement Form – Loads any image and places it in the background - if the ceiling needs to be redrawn manually

  • Example of construction with measurement form

  • Show/Hide Measurement Form – toggle the background image with original measurements.

  • Recognize Drawings with AI – automatic recognition of scanned or photographed drawings.

  • Unit of Measurement – choose centimeters, millimeters, inches or feet.

  • Dimensions: Side / Length – fields for entering the side name (e.g., AB) or displaying the selected side, and its length.

  • Table – list of all sides of the constructed figure with their lengths.

  • Tree – tree view of sides and diagonals of the drawing. "Back" and "Forward" buttons allow you to step-by-step undo or resume construction stages. "+" and "-" buttons expand or collapse sublevels with diagonals.

  • Angles – list of angles between sides. Allows you to change angle values in degrees, both with quick values 90 and -90, and by entering values manually.

  • Letter Designation of Vertices – option for marking points with letters, if disabled, points are marked with numbers.

  • Build When Entering Value – automatic construction of a side after entering its length.
