The Other Shapes
Rectangles and Ellipses are considered “quick shapes,” meaning unlike polygons and polylines it only
takes a single stroke to create them. These two shape types are useful when defining large, general
areas on the map or floor plan quickly.
Rotating Shapes
Use the rotation handle to rotate the shape
to the desired angle. The angle can also
be set manually in the properties panel.
Sizing & Resizing
To set the size of a rectangle, click and drag
the square resize node on the bottom, left
of the shape.

Drawing Ellipses
Drawing ellipses is similar to drawing
rectangles. The main difference is to
draw the ellipse from the center of
where the shape will go.
