The key quick start buttons are located at the top of the toolbar.

From left to right, here’s what each button does:

1. **Refresh/Restart**: This button clears all content and restarts everything from scratch.

2. **Load PDF or Images**: This is one of the most essential buttons, allowing you to import PDF documents or images. You can mix and match and load multiple files, but remember to resize any imported file before adding another, or they may overlap.

3. **Background Toggle**: This button hides or shows the background images, depending on your design needs. For instance, if you're using an existing plan in your design, you may want to keep it visible.

4. **Duplicate or Clone**: This button duplicates the currently selected object, with a few exceptions like the camera view. Pressing the "C" key on your keyboard also performs the same cloning action.

5. **Pan Locking**: You can click this button or use a right-click to toggle locking. When activated, it locks the background imported document in place, allowing you to move the entire design with your mouse. If not locked, you can move images and objects independently.

The toolbar has a drop down showing disciplines this allows you to select from any number of available icons, in this instance we are showing CAD images but there are realistic objects like smoke detectors, fire panel, doors, windows, etc.

These available objects can be updated at any time to increase the available toolset further expanding the detail that can be included into your designs.

If there is some specific objects you would like to see added to the toolbar please reach out using the contact form, its also helpful if you have images available.

Text tools allow you to choose your desired font and apply different styles such as underlining and italics.

Once you have setup you font, you can drag the "Text" element into your design and position it as you wish.

It's quite intuitive to place your text anywhere with the ability to easily resize and rotate your text just where you need it.

The first icon on the top left corner is the draw tool as shown previously, the other shapes on the top bar are all drawable shapes you can drag onto your design.

All shapes can all be resized and orientated to how ever you need them to be on your design, you can select the border colour and size along with the colour you wish the shape to be so you have plenty of options to define your shape.

On the bottom row we have the invert button this only works on objects and not shapes so doors for example if you invert them the colours will reverse which is idea depending on the underlying colour.

The other arrows and triangle buttons are rotate and mirroring tools, for example if you place one door that's been sized you can clone the door and change its orientation by pressing one of the rotate or mirroring buttons to very quickly build up your doors so you really only have to just place them in situ rather than having to place, resize and orientate each door.

There are several key commands that are quite important to know when using the platform so we have a list, I would check here from

time to time as the last may grow as the platform continues to be developed.

Del - Delete selected object (Double Click also deletes the object)

C - Clone/Duplicate (Also there is a clone tool button, can be used for text)

Cursor UP - Move layer up

Cursor Down - Move layer down

Drawing Tool Only

Del - Delete selected object (Double click does not delete this object)

Backspace - When adding marking points the backspace will delete the last marking spot, you can delete all the way back to the beginning
