Adding a Path

Overview

Use Paths to show cable runs, route direction, or connection guidance for an element on the floor plan.

Path workflow from creating a line to extending and adjusting sections.

Open Path Tools

  1. Open a survey and select an element on the canvas.
  2. In the Element Sidebar, open Path.
  3. Choose a line color before you start.

If you do not see the Path option, your current mode or seat may not include path editing.

Create and Extend a Path

  1. Click Add Line to create the first path section for the selected element.
  2. Click Add Section to extend the route one segment at a time.
  3. Repeat until the route matches your intended run.

Each added section continues from the end of the previous section, so the route stays connected.

Edit Path Shape on the Canvas

  • Click a path to select it.
  • Drag a start or end marker to reposition that point.
  • Neighboring sections update with the move so the route remains continuous.
  • Length values update automatically as you move points.

Remove Sections or Delete a Line

  • Click Delete Section to remove the last section from the selected line.
  • If a line has only one section left, deleting that section removes the full line.

Review Length and Visibility

  • The sidebar shows:
  • selected line length
  • total length across lines on the selected element
  • unit in Feet
  • Use Visibility Filters to toggle Show Path on or off during review.
