Import underlay

Brings a PDF, scan or screenshot into the plan as an underlay to trace over. It goes on the active layer, on the active storey.

How it works

  1. In the Underlays panel, pick the layer under "New underlay on layer". This sets the active layer, so the lines in the picture can be snapped to at once.
  2. Click "Import PDF, scan or screenshot", or type UI. The browser's file dialog opens: choose a PDF, PNG or JPEG file.
  3. For a PDF with several pages, set "Page (of n)" and click "Import page".
  4. The picture is placed in the middle of the view, and Fit underlay starts by itself: Scale, Across, Straighten, Position. Enter skips a step.
