Drawing a Section on a Floor Plan

Drawing a Section on your floor plan allows you to outline specific, leaseable areas using the Map Editor. Sections give you the flexibility to manage leases on a more granular level, so you can easily specify whether a lease applies to an entire location or just a single floor. This feature is perfect for configuring leases based on distinct parts of a building, giving you greater precision and customization when assigning lease terms to individual areas.

It is important to note that floor plans can have multiple sections drawn on them, so if you have multiple leaseable areas on a single map, those multiple drawn sections can be added to a single lease agreement, further enhancing your lease management capabilities.
