Drawing

Now let’s draw something!

We will keep things simple for now.

In this quick introduction, we will show you how the basics of how to draw in Rayon (using walls, dimensions, openings, styles, layers, etc.)

Let's get started!

Drawing a room is easy! Get started by...

Now, let's place openings and furniture in the room:

Use the Opening (OP) tool to place doors and windows along the room’s walls.
Add some furnishing to the interior by dragging and dropping blocks from the block library.

Finally, annotate your floor plan using the Dimension (DI) tool, as seen above.

When you start drawing in a new model, some things are set as active:

The active style: Styles are the way things on the canvas look: their color, fill, font, line width, etc. When you draw a new shape, its style will be defined by the current active style.
The active layer: layer correspond to the way items are organized in a model, grouped on layers. When you draw a new shape, its layer will be defined by the current active layer.

A few additional settings are good to know as you get started with Rayon:

Units: A model's units can be found both in the bottom right panel and from the main menu button under preferences.
Navigation: Zooming in and out of a model can be done from the bottom right panel or using a mouse or trackpad.
Snapping: There are a few snapping options in Rayon, all available in the bottom right panel:
Wireframe: Lastly, you can use the wireframe mode, which will show elements drawn either with the applied style (wireframe off) or by their minimal line weight representation (wireframe on).

You are done! Head to the next step, click below!
