Resize Room Elements

Resize Room Elements with mouse

1. Select the desired room element(s). They (It) become(s) highlighted with round handles around the surfaces most closely facing the screen.
2. If the round handles do not appear on the desired surface, use the Screen Navigation tools such as Orbit to make the desired surfaces face the screen.

3. Grab a handle with the mouse and drag it until your element(s) reach the desired size(s). The corner handles let you resize in two directions, while the handles along edges let you constrain resizing to one direction.

4. Release the mouse button when you are satisfied with the element dimensions.

Note: room elements are normally resized to 1 cm or 0.5” rounded position values. To Resize Room Elements completely freely, you can hold the space bar while resizing, producing a slower motion and preventing dimension rounding.

Tip: With Show Dimensions ON, you can display the dimensions of the resizing rectangle while resizing. This is useful if you know in advance the space to allocate to the room element(s).

Tip: With Show Dimensions ON, you can also display the actual exact dimensions used by a room element by pressing on a handle of the desired element.

 

Note: Handles are convenient for quick mouse editing but you can also specify precise values. See Enter Room Element Dimensions.
