Function

Desktop planning allows you to create and customize layouts with your mouse and keyboard. Work in 2D or 3D, place new objects, edit existing elements, add measurements and take screenshots. The functions are identical to VR mode.

Instructions

Start

Start the mode in the layout tab with the “Start Desktop” button.

Overview of functions

You can select various tools on the left-hand side of the screen (1).

At the top right you will find the settings and can open the library (2).

When you select an object, the context menu opens at the bottom of the screen (3). There you can, for example, name, color or move the object. You can find a description of the individual functions here.

Change the view from 3D (free camera) to 2D (top down) using the drop-down in the top bar (4).
