Drawing and measuring
Polygons for areas, lines for distances, points and spots, and editing, styling, grouping, buffers and grids.
- Drawing polygonsMeasure an area by outlining it on the map, then read its area and perimeter, name it, describe it and cut holes in it.
- Measuring distances with polylinesDraw a line on the map to measure a distance or a route, with the length of every segment, the total and the ground's height along it.
- Points and spotsRead and edit the corner points of your shapes, and mark single places on the map with spots, icons that carry a name, a description, photos and coordinates.
- Editing shapesUnlock a shape to change it; move, add and delete corners; type exact lengths; rotate, duplicate, split, join and subtract shapes; undo mistakes and clear the map.
- Colours, lines and labelsChange a shape's line colour and style, its width, fill and transparency, choose what its label shows, and set the style new shapes start with.
- Groups and selecting several shapesFind shapes in the Geometries list, select several to edit, save or delete them together, organise them in named groups, and see totals by colour.
- BuffersDraw a zone at a set distance around a polygon, inside it or along a line, such as a safety perimeter, a setback or a corridor, and measure it. The buffer follows its shape when you edit it.
- GridsLay a grid of cells over an area to count how many tiles, panels, plots or plants fit, and move and turn it on the map until the most fit.
