Add symbols on your floor plan
INITIAL - Once your plans are finalized, you can add technical symbols to them.
1. Go to the “Plan details” step and click on the “Symbol” menu.
2. Search for the desired symbol either through the catalogs or the search bar and click on the thumbnail representing the desired symbol.
3. With a left click of the mouse on your workspace, place it where you want it on the plan, rotating it if necessary (You can move it at any time by holding down the left click on it).
💡 Use the arrow keys on your keyboard to position your symbol more accurately with the instant dimensioning option.
4. In the right column und with the help of option buttons, you can:
- “Copy” the symbol.

- Apply a “Mirror effect” (vertical or horinzontal) to your symbol by changing its symmetry axis (this will be useful for stairs, for example)

5. In the first tab, “Global parameters” (represented by an “i” icon), you can resize and rotate the symbol.
💡With the “Keep the proportions” option, the dimensions change proportionally. If you change the width, the length will change automatically.
ℹ️ At any time, you can “Reset dimensions” for the symbol using the option at the top right of the box represented by this symbol:
6. In the second tab, “Format” (represented by a color palette), you can change its style (color and line type).
