Properties menu
Element properties can be adjusted within the properties menu. The property menu is opened by selecting an element and clicking the icon that appears next to the element or double-clicking the element.
The element name can be edited. Each element has different options that can be adjusted. When available, calculation variables will be displayed as well. Calculation variables are used to help determine line item quantities.
Line items
The real power of Studio is in the ability to attach estimate line items to elements in Studio. Within Studio, line items from the pricing database can be attached to elements in the canvas. Line items attached to elements are added to the project estimate. This is a quick way to get the quantities needed for line items. Learn more
3D visualization
Floor plans created in 2D can also be viewed in 3D. Click the view toggle, located at the top of the canvas, to switch views.
