Highlight overlaps

Toggles highlighting the products which physically overlap other items or bay components.

It is especially useful to identify overlaps in your project if you have disabled Collisions (Settings), because in this case items can easily be mistakenly placed partially over other items.

• Supported values:

• Default value: Not pressed (not checkmarked)

 

Example of Highlight overlaps

View the room

Toggles the visibility of Room. Hiding it is useful for example when it blocks the view while working with shelving or products.

• Supported values:

• Default value: Pressed (checkmarked)

View front panels

Toggles the visibility of bay components of type: Front panel. Hiding front panels allows selecting and editing products behind the panels, for example in case you have glass doors on a cooler. You can then display the front panels once all items behind are positioned.

• Supported values:

• Default value: Pressed (checkmarked)

 

Note: Consult Front panel (New bay components) for details on such bay components.

View peg hooks

Toggles displaying the actual hooks of pegged products. Showing the hooks can help visualizing where the peg is located exactly, including any offset.

• Keyboard shortcut: K
• Supported values:

• Default value: Pressed (checkmarked)

Example of View peg hooks

 

Note: To define the peg length, refer to:

• Hook length (Back panel (Create bays))
• Hook length (Selected back panels)

View dimensions

Toggles the display of dimension lines and values for the objects in your planogram.

Showing dimensions assists you when placing products, building or resizing shelving and room elements.

• Keyboard shortcut: D
• Supported values:

• Default value: Not pressed (not checkmarked)

Note: You can configure various options for display of dimensions in Settings. Consult the sections under Schematic view / Generic products / Dimensions.

Depending on the context, various dimensions are displayed on screen:

By default, the overall width, depth and height are shown for each isolated bay and each group of adjacent bays:

 

Additionally, for each bay with at least one selected shelf, vertical shelf measures are shown. And for each bay with at least one Dividing panel selected, lateral distances between each Dividing panel are displayed, as shown below:

 

Additionally, the overall width, depth and height of each selected room element are also displayed, as shown below:

 

The dimensions of any bay, bay component or block of products are also displayed when clicking on one of its round handles in the corresponding editing mode, as shown below:

 

Note: a dimension is only displayed if the viewing angle and the available space allows. If you can’t see a desired dimension, use Zoom, Orbit, Pan tools to adjust the view accordingly.
