      Use shapes

      With this tool, you will be able to create additional structural elements (post, ramp, step...).

      Create a shape

      1. From the 'Materials' step, go to the 'Shape' menu.

      2. Select the desired shape and place it at the desired level and location.

      ⚠️ Once a shape is placed along a wall, it cannot be moved (it will be considered attached to the wall).

      Adjust a shape

      Once the shape is positioned, you will be able to reposition it, resize it, and apply any material.

      1. To move a shape, left-click and hold on the selected shape.

      ❗ To facilitate shape adaptation to your project, feel free to uncheck the collision option to have more freedom of movement.

      2. To rotate or elevate it, use the arrows (purple for elevation, orange for rotation). These two tools are also available in the right-hand control panel.

      3. Modify its dimensions (height, length, width) in the control panel.

      4. You can then apply the material to the created shape.

      💡 The global application tool will allow you to apply the same material to your entire shape in one click.
