Drawing Tips
The main Summit WMScanner window has quick access buttons at the bottom of the screen that can
aid the process of drawing. The figure that follows shows the
ORTHO and OSNAP buttons at the
bottom right of the main program screen.
The quick access buttons, when left-clicked, toggle the Orthogonal cursor mode and Object Snap on and
off. A given mode is on if the command is displayed in bold text. Otherwise, it is off. Settings for each
command may be accessed by right clicking on the button.
Object snap is a useful tool for adding partitions. To accurately connect drawing objects such as walls,
the cursor movement may not be steady enough. To assist users, object snap provides several
commands that can manually or automatically connect drawing objects to other objects at end points,
quadrants of circles, perpendicular intersections, and many other points of interest. To configure
automatic object snap, click on the
OSNAP button on the status bar and configure using the subsequent
dialog box. Object Snap can be toggled on and off by clicking the OSNAP button on the status bar.
Since most partitions are either vertical or horizontal on the screen, you need to be able to put the
software in a mode that forces the cursor to draw partitions vertically or horizontally. Summit
WMScanner provides a command that handles this task. Clicking the word ORTHO on the status bar
toggles ORTHO mode. ORTHO mode forces the cursor to place objects in a drawing either horizontally
or vertically.
Change Partition
The Format Building > Change Partition Type command is used to covert existing formatted partitions into
a new partition type. This command can also be used to change already formatted partitions into a
different type of partition.
