Guidelines

Guidelines allow you to align objects on the floor plan and mark up the layout before drawing and placing objects. The guidelines are not exported.

To add a guideline:

• Place the mouse pointer over the ruler, press the mouse button (the left one if you have a 2-button mouse) and drag the guide into the drawing. Then release the mouse button.
  
  
• Alternatively, you can choose the Horizontal Guide or Vertical Guide item in the Insert menu.

To select a guideline, click on it with the mouse. The selected guideline becomes highlighted.

If you place the mouse pointer over a guideline, the pointer changes into a bidirectional arrow. Ctrl-clicking (right-clicking) a guideline will open its context menu.

To move a guide, drag it with the mouse.

To remove a guideline, select it and press the Delete key, or use the context menu.

Like other objects, the guides are listed in the Project Tree. There is the Lock option in the Project Tree: by setting it, you will prevent the guide from unwanted movement.

Live Interior 3D also has smart guides. Smart guides are temporary guides that appear when you draw walls, floors, or ceilings, and when you move objects. Smart guides are aimed to help you align objects.
