THE STEPS, MENUS AND SUBMENUS
There are 9 steps in Cedreo, 6 in 2D, and 3 in 3D. The modifications made in 2D, such as drawing walls, adding wall openings, and laying a roof, are reflected instantaneously in the 3D view.
❗Modifications made into the 'Plans details' and 'Folder' steps do not apply to the 3D view.
There are menus and sub-menus under the steps, allowing you to perform various actions, such as drawing walls, installing openings, drawing exterior spaces, and applying materials.
THE CATALOG
In the 'Wall Openings', 'Furnishings', 'Materials' and 'Plans details' (symbols) step, you'll have a catalog from which you can choose the coating to apply, the wall openings to install, or the product, symbols to place.
Here, for example in 'Wall openings', you can use the search bar or open the catalog and select, for instance, the type of openings you want, and then more specifics about it.
THE RIGHT HAND PANEL
On the top right of the software, you’ll see a 2D screen if you are currently in 3D and vice versa.
You can use the right panel to change the characteristics of a selected item (furnishing, exterior spaces, opening walls, rooms, roof, etc…)
THE WORKSPACE BUTTONS
In your workspace, you'll see different buttons depending on the stage you're at in your design. The main buttons are :

The magnetism This button allows you to draw straight and at right angles, and to hook onto the walls of other levels. |
