Drawing a Section on a Floor Plan

Sections allow you to define and manage specific, leaseable areas on your floor plan using the Map Editor. You can assign lease terms to an entire location or to individual areas within it, giving you fine-grained control over your lease management.

ℹ️ NOTE

Floor plans can have multiple sections drawn on them. If you have multiple leaseable areas on a single map, those sections can be added to a single lease agreement, further enhancing your lease management capabilities.

Getting Started

Click the Map Editor menu item in the left sidebar.
Select the location and map to open.
Click Load Map.
In the right panel, locate the Objects section.
Click the Areas tab.
Click the Draw Section button.

Left-click to place points around the leaseable area you want to define.
When finished tracing, press Enter to close the section.
Save the map.

💡 TIP

You can right-click as an alternative to pressing Enter when closing the section.

Editing Section Properties

After a section has been drawn, you can edit its properties, appearance, and labels from the right-side panel of the Map Editor.

Open the map containing the section.
Click inside the section to select it.
