Set The Scale and Environment

After you upload the floor image, you must set the scale and environment so that the tool calculates coverage accurately.

  1. In the Draw Tools dialog, select the Environment drop-down list and set the type of environment for your site (Open Space, Office Cubicles, Dry Walls, Office Hard Walls, Custom). The Custom option lets you draw the inner walls for better coverage accuracy. For more information, see Drawing Inner Walls.
  2. Under Scale / Measures, select ../_Graphics/draw-doorway-button.png to draw a line for a doorway.
