Create a free-form/freehand markup

Modified on Tue, 29 Oct at 6:41 AM

The pencil tool lets you create free-form or freehand markups on the plan drawings wherever you want.

To create a free-hand markup

  • Choose the pencil tool from the toolbar.
  • Draw your freehand markup on the plan drawing. 
  • Click on the markup to select it and drag it to the precise location you want to markup, if required.

The markup is added with the color, stroke width, and fill, with default settings or as set in the 'Stroke' tool. You can change them as required.

To change the stroke color and width

  • Click on the markup to select it
  • Click the 'Stroke' tool
  • Choose the color from the palate
    • Alternatively, use the color picker at the bottom right to choose a custom color.
  • Size - Use the slider to set up the brush width for the markup

Your selection takes effect on the currently selected markup and is auto-saved for your next markup tool.

The markup element adds as a layer to the 'Draft' group. It is shown in the layer editor on the left.

  • Use the eyeicon to show or hide the layer
  • Click the trashcanicon to remove an element added by mistake
  • Go to the next tool if you want to add more markup elements.
  • Once you are done with the markup elements, save the layer group as a markup. See Publish Markups for more details.
