Some things are new ✨

Patterns ✨

Floor plans commonly include hatches and textures for informative reasons (indicating the material) and aesthetic reasons (preparing a drawing for presentation). From now on, choose a pattern and edit it with advanced options - all on the Rayon canvas.

Annotations ✨

Adding information to your floor plan can now be done faster using customized annotations: straight or curved, one or double-sided Arrows, pins, and more!

Boolean operations ✨

Draw complex shapes with the new boolean operation feature enabling you to:

• Subtract

• Union

• Intersect

• Exclude

Zone divider ✨

Often, open space areas have sub-divisions according to their use case. That's why we've added a Zone Divider, allowing you to add a zone freely, with no wall partition. 👉 More about the wall and zone features in our Documentation!

Arc ✨

The editing tools now include an Arc! You can implement it in 2 ways:

• By using the arc tool to draw an arc.

• By drawing a polyline and implementing an arc as a part of it: either click on the Arc (AC) or on the Line (L) to go between a straight or arched line!

Match properties ✨

You can now use the eyedropper button to match the style properties of elements on the canvas! 👉 More about the style properties in our Documentation!

And some are better 💪

Offsetting door & window openings💪

When adding an opening block such as a door or a window, hover over it to detect the light blue dashed line: then drag it to determine the offsetting of the component! 👉 More about opening and furniture blocks in our Documentation!

PDF import💪

When importing a PDF file, Rayon will ask you to set an estimated distance for reference. This will help scale and convert the PDF file into a Rayon model. 👉 More about importing, exporting, and sharing in our Documentation!
