Highlight Areas, Dimensions and Notes

The brush tool lets you draw thick lines and highlight with transparent colors and emphasize important sections of a plan drawing quickly and clearly. Use it to mark critical areas, call attention to notes, or indicate items that need review, making it easier for your team to spot key information at a glance.

• Click the arrow beside the pencil tool in teh toolbar and select the brush tool from the options
• Left-click your mouse and drag the cursor on the area to be highlighted.

• 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 default red color. You can change the color and transparency as required

Customize the Markup

• Click the color palette icon above to the markup or in the toolbar at the bottom to adjust the stroke color and its transparencyor add a color fill. See Format Stroke and Fill Colors for guidance.

You can also clone the markup to mark similar area on a different spot in the drawing. See Clone and Reuse Markups if you need guidance on it.

Every shape you add is automatically saved as a new layer within the "Current Markup" group, which is visible in the layer editor on the left side of your screen. From this editor, you can manage your shapes:

• Delete: Hover over the element and click theicon to remove a mistake.

You can continue selecting tools to add more markup elements as needed. Once you are finished annotating the plan, you must save the layer group. See Publish Markups for detailed instructions on finalizing your work.
