Drawing & Floor Plan Import

Import a PDF or image as a scaled reference in the 3D workspace. Use it as a visual guide when positioning screens, projectors, and other objects.

Supported file formats

Importing a drawing

1. Choose Add → Reference Drawing.
2. Select an image or PDF from your device.
3. The drawing opens in the calibration dialog.

Calibration dialog

The calibration dialog shows a preview of the drawing. You must set a real-world scale before placing it in the scene:

1. Choose Floor for a horizontal reference or Elevation for a vertical reference.
2. Click two points across a known distance, such as a dimension line or wall.
3. Enter that distance in metres.
4. Choose Create Reference.

Hold Ctrl while placing or dragging the second calibration point to keep the line horizontal or vertical.

Repositioning the drawing

After import, select the reference in the Scene panel and use the transform handles or Properties panel to:

• move it into alignment with your scene;
• rotate it if the plan uses a different orientation;
• adjust its dimensions if the source measurement changes.

Tips

• Import the floor plan first, then build the scene on top of it for accurate object placement.
• Use the Measurement Tool to verify that your drawing calibration is correct.
• Keep the reference visible while laying out the scene, then hide it from the Scene panel when it is no longer needed.
