Layers & styles

Toggle what's drawn, switch canvas and wall styles, and understand the dark-mode policy.

Layers control what is drawn; styles control how it looks. Together they let one drawing serve a clean client view or a full services view.

Layer visibility

Open Menu → Layers for a sheet of eight visibility toggles, all on by default, with a Show all reset:

Grid
Walls
Doors
Windows
Fixtures & furniture
Lights
Heat (radiators)
Measurements

Turn layers off for a clean plan to hand to a client, or leave them on for an installer’s services view — from the same drawing, non-destructively. (Room labels are a separate Settings option, not a layer.) Layer visibility is a view preference and isn’t saved into the drawing file.

Canvas style

Set in Settings:

Normal — black walls and clear symbols on a paper-white sheet (the default architectural look).
Blueprint — a deep cyanotype-navy background with white linework and a warm-orange selection highlight.

Wall style

Also in Settings:

Solid — each wall is one thick centreline stroke (the default).
Outline — two thin face lines (inner and outer) with clean corner joins, and small jamb caps at each door or window — the classic UK plan convention.

Theming & dark mode

The app’s chrome (palettes, sheets, pills) follows your system light or dark appearance. The plan itself always stays light — a floor plan reads the same on paper either way, and inverting it would wash the symbols out. So a Blueprint canvas in dark mode is a navy plan with dark-grey bubbles floating over it.

Marketing mode

The Marketing engine adds a one-tap “marketing mode” that hides clutter (grid, dimensions, door swings) while showing room names, a scale bar, north and floor area — ideal for a brochure, without changing your working drawing.
