Measuring Tape Tool

The Measuring Tape Tool allows you to measure distances between points on your map.

Click on the map to start measuring.
Continue clicking to add measurement points.

Double-click to finish.

- No: Discard the measurement and remove it from your map.

Area Measurement Tool

The Area Measurement Tool allows you to measure spaces and zones. You can see the total area as you click and move.

Click to start measuring
Map out the zone

Add Arrow

Use the Arrow Tool to add directional arrows to your map.

Select the Arrow Tool from the bottom toolbar.

Floorplan Views

Use Floorplan Views to control the visibility of items within floorplans on your map.

Choose between three options:

All Visible: Show all items within your floorplans.
None Visible: Hide all items within your floorplans.
Some Visible: Show items within selected floorplans only. Click on each structure to individually toggle them on and off.

TIP: Hiding floorplan contents helps declutter your map (e.g. hiding individual tables and chairs inside a marquee) and can improve map performance.

Toggle Signage

Use Toggle Signage to quickly show or hide signage on your map.

This allows you to focus on other map elements without signage cluttering your view.

Lock and Unlock

Use the Lock Map button to prevent accidental changes to your layout.

Lock: Prevent objects from being accidentally moved or edited.
Unlock: Return to editing mode to make changes to your map.

TIP: Lock your map when reviewing a completed layout or navigating around your event site.

Other Map Editing Tools

In addition to the bottom toolbar, there are several useful editing functions available when working with objects on your map.

Group Objects

Group multiple objects together to keep your map organised and make it easier to manage related infrastructure.

Hold Shift and select multiple objects.
Right-click on the selection.
Select Group.

You can then manage the grouped objects together rather than editing each individually.

Quickly duplicate or mirror objects without having to place them again from the Item Library.

Select an object on your map.
To duplicate, either:
- Right-click and select Duplicate.
- Click the Duplicate button that appears in the bottom toolbar when an object is selected.
To mirror an object, right-click and select Mirror.

TIP: This is especially useful when placing repeated infrastructure or creating symmetrical layouts.

Layer Ordering

To manage where objects appear, you can send objects forwards or backwards.

This helps organise overlapping items and maintain clarity in your layout.

Align Objects

Use the Align Tool to quickly align multiple objects on your map for a neat and consistent layout.

Hold Shift and click to select multiple objects.
Click the Align button that appears in the bottom toolbar.
Choose your preferred alignment option to automatically align the selected objects.

TIP: Great for lining up rows of toilets, market stalls, tables or other infrastructure without manually positioning each object.

Add an Object to the Schedule

You can quickly create a scheduled job directly from an object on your map.

Right-click on an object on your map.
Select Add to Schedule.
Create your schedule item, which will automatically be linked to the selected object.

This is useful for scheduling equipment deliveries, installations, maintenance or pack-down tasks without having to manually link the equipment in the Scheduler.

TIP: Use this when building your map to quickly create associated jobs for equipment that needs to be delivered, installed or collected.
