Adding Bays

Marquees are built using individual bays (segments).

For each bay, specify:

  • Top Wall

  • Bottom Wall

Click the Add Bay button to add each section to your marquee.

As bays are added, the preview will automatically update so you can visualise the final structure before placing it on the map.


Wall Types

The preview uses different styles to represent wall types:

  • Solid: Black line

  • Opening: Dashed line

  • Clear: Blue wall

This allows you to quickly confirm entrances, exits, and enclosed areas before creating the marquee.

The Preview panel displays a live representation of your marquee as you build it.

Any changes made to:

  • Bays

  • Wall types

  • Structure type

will be reflected immediately in the preview.


Creating the Marquee

Once your marquee configuration is complete:

  1. Click Add Marquee.

  2. The marquee will be added to the map.

The marquee can then be moved, rotated, and managed like any other map object.

Additional metadata can be added using the right-hand Attributes panel, including suppliers, notes, and custom fields.


Editing an Existing Marquee

To edit a marquee after it has been placed:

  1. Click the marquee on the map.

  2. Open the right-hand panel.

  3. Click Edit Marquee.

This will reopen the Marquee Builder, allowing you to update the structure, bays, walls, flooring, and other settings at any time.
