Using the Drawing tool with a fixed height or plane

The Drawing Tool is useful for highlighting specific sections of a project. However, in some cases, elevation changes or noise may interfere with its functionality. To ensure accuracy, you can establish a fixed height or drawing plane before using the tool.

Setting Up a Fixed Height or Drawing Plane

1. Create a New Drawing Layer

   • Select the drawing tool and then Add a New layer
   • You will be prompted to enter a name and select a layer type (default: Unconstrained).

2. Define the Plane or Height

   • Fixed Height: Select a single point—this will set the height for the drawing layer.
   • Drawing Plane: Select at least three points to define a plane. (Hold Shift to select additional points for better accuracy.) 

3. Use the Drawing Tool

   • Ensure you have selected the desired drawing layer before drawing.
   • All points created with the drawing tool will align with the defined height or plane.
