| • | If you draw 6” walls over 6” walls in the imported image, the doors, windows and openings in the image will be obscured by the Icovia walls. Set the default wall thickness to 1”. After placing doors, windows and openings, edit the wall to change the width. |
| • | Lock the image once it is sized correctly. |
| • | Toggle the image visibility with the View> Show Imports command, as needed. |
| • | Lock plan components that are to remain as-is. |
| • | Save frequently. |
| • | Use the Clone command when multiple instances of a customized icon is needed. |
| • | Use generic shape icons like the rectangle and triangle (Structural Icon Set) to emulate icons that are not available. Change the label of these shapes to reflect what they are intended to represent. |
| • | Use the wall icon (rather than the wall tool) to draw wide walls, to avoid the rounded end walls drawn by the wall tool. |
| • | Imported images do not save with plan! If you need to select the JPG and in the Imported Image Info panel note the length and depth of the JPG, you can type these in later if you need to re-import the file and it will automatically size to the exact dimensions you need. |
| • | Use the show imports command under the view menu to show your imported image as necessary to make for easier planning. |
| • | Use the Hide imports command under the view menu to hide your imported image as necessary. |
