Mark an Area with Cloud Shape

The cloud tool lets you spotlight an area on the plan drawing. 

• You can easily resize the shape to match the area to be marked.
• You can also change the markup's color, stroke width, and backfill. 

To add a cloud area markup

• Choose the 'Cloud' tool from the toolbar
• Click on the location of the drawing where you want to place the shape.
• Click on the cloud and drag it to the precise location you want to markup.
• Click and drag the handles at the corners and sides to resize the element.

The markup is added with the color, stroke width, and fill, with default settings or as set for the previous markup. You can change them as required.

Tip: If you have calibrated the ruler, you can see the area and length measurements of your cloud shape markup by clicking inside it. Alternatively, you can view their dimensions in the layer editor. See how to calibrate a ruler here.
