FAQs

Q: Can I stop the Grid from "moving" when I zoom in on my Plan?

A: No. The Grid Tool adjusts to match the Scale of the Plan when zooming. Zoom to the required level and then move the Plan to align with the Grid. Ideally, line up one room at a time on the Plan.

💡 Lock Plan Panning

Press ALT (⌥ OPTION) + L to prevent the Plan from being moved with the mouse click and drag gesture. Unlock by using the same keys.

Q: Will the Grid be included when I export my Plan?

A: No. The Grid will not show on Exported Plan/s. This is an onscreen feature only.
