Mark an Area with Cloud Shape

Cloud markups help you draw attention to specific areas on a plan sheet. Use them to highlight revisions, issues, or points that need review, making it easier for your team to spot important information at a glance.

• Easily adjust the size of the cloud to fit the area you want to highlight.
• Customize the appearance by changing the stroke width, color, and fill.

• Click on the location of the drawing where you want to place the shape.
• Click on the cloud and drag it to the precise location you want to mark up.
