Each time you access Advanced Plant Editing, if the Navigation or Wall2D windows are open, they will be automatically closed.
There are several ways to access this environment:
- When creating a new empty project
- Within the same plan
- In a project with a group of multi-rooms
- At the end of the AI room tracing process
Advanced Layout Editing from a New Empty Project
In the new project creation window, by selecting the “Empty” option and checking “Enter Advanced Layout Editing mode at start” (see image below), you will directly access the new environment and can immediately start creating new rooms.
Advanced Layout Editing from a Standard Plan
Within the Plan, you have two ways to access the new environment:
- By selecting the icon
on the right side of the toolbar located at the top-right of the Plan
-
By right-clicking on an empty area of the project and selecting “Advanced Layout Editing”
In both cases, once you enter the new environment, you will encounter one of the following situations:
-
If rooms are present in the Plan, they are converted into CAD entities, allowing you to modify their boundaries using the CAD tools available in the ribbon. Once editing is complete and you confirm returning to the Standard Plan environment, the layout is fully regenerated while preserving finishes and furnishings.
Warning: ceiling data and room properties (such as the room name) are not preserved.
- If the project is empty, you can create your Plan directly in this environment using CAD entities.
- If multiple groups of rooms are present, only the rooms belonging to the active group will be converted into CAD entities.
- If you have imported a DWG/DXF file, the floor plan will be visible but “frozen” (the layers applied to the entities are frozen). This allows you to trace over the spaces and then convert them into rooms.
Advanced Layout Editing on a Multi-Room Group
You can enter Advanced Layout Editing directly from the context menu of a selected room. By right-clicking inside a room that belongs to a multi-room group, the following commands will appear:
By selecting “Advanced Layout Editing from this group of rooms”, only the group containing the selected room will be converted into editable CAD entities. All rooms belonging to other groups will be “frozen” and displayed as locked CAD entities. This helps you keep track of their presence without overlapping with the new CAD entities you define.
Note: when you exit this environment and return to the Standard Floor Plan, these rooms are restored without any changes.
If you instead click the button in the Plan toolbar, you will enter Advanced Layout Editing only for the group whose room was active in the standard view.
Advanced Layout Editing after “Import with AI”
When you import your layout automatically using Artificial Intelligence, after clicking the relevant command in the ribbon, you will automatically enter Advanced Layout Editing.
In this case, the CAD entities recognized by the AI are converted into rooms, and you can continue editing by adding missing rooms or adjusting those identified by the AI.
