Highlight Areas, Dimensions and Notes

The highlighter tool lets you 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.

To highlight an area

• Choose the highlighter from the toolbar.
• 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 highlight if required.

The markup is added with the color and stroke width, and transparency as set up. You can change them if required.

To change the stroke width and color

• Click on the markup to select it
• Click the 'Fill' tool
• Choose the color from the palette
  • Alternatively, use the color picker at the bottom right to choose a custom color.
• Opacity - Use the slider to set up the transparency for the markup
• Click the 'Stroke' tool and use the 'Size' slider to adjust the stroke width

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

• Use the icon to show or hide the layer
• Click the icon to remove an element added by mistake
• Click the element label in the layer editor and edit it with a brief description of its purpose, if needed, to keep your elements organized.
• 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.
