Steps

  1. Click Rectangle in the action bar, press on one corner of the room and drag to the opposite corner. Release to finish.
  2. For any other shape, click Draw Room and click each corner in turn.
  3. Hold Shift while drawing to lock walls to 15° steps, so straight walls stay square.
  4. Close the room by clicking the first point again; it highlights when you are close enough.
  5. Placed a point in the wrong spot? Press Esc, or click Stop drawing, to cancel the room.
  6. Trace roughly. You type the exact wall lengths next.
