Introduction

Object visibility toggles allow users to control the display of Building Elements and Tags within a model. By toggling object visibility, users can easily focus on specific element types, hide distracting components, which helps select specific elements of interest. You can find these Visibility Toggles under the Settings panel in drawing.tool
​

    ​

  2. Annotation:

    Includes dynamic dimensioning , Room name and Number Assignments.
    ​

  3. Uploads:
