## Some things are new ✨ <a href="#h_856d745d06" id="h_856d745d06"></a>

### Patterns ✨ <a href="#h_ac15cd7bb0" id="h_ac15cd7bb0"></a>

<figure><img src="https://downloads.intercomcdn.com/i/o/673958355/d201354f4ad69d687566c8a3/ezgif.com-optimize.gif" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

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 ✨ <a href="#h_a9289df422" id="h_a9289df422"></a>

<figure><img src="https://downloads.intercomcdn.com/i/o/675308713/576693fd8a16457ceab9c32f/ezgif.com-optimize+%281%29.gif" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

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 ✨ <a href="#h_1b0c0d40bf" id="h_1b0c0d40bf"></a>

<figure><img src="https://downloads.intercomcdn.com/i/o/675311140/64ad51cc8749f6a82774379f/ezgif.com-optimize+%282%29.gif" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

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

* Subtract
* Union
* Intersect
* Exclude

### Zone divider ✨ <a href="#h_d5ed0ae669" id="h_d5ed0ae669"></a>

<figure><img src="https://downloads.intercomcdn.com/i/o/675313371/a94381179c9d6073efe60b4b/ezgif.com-optimize+%283%29.gif" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

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!](/documentation/design/elements-walls-zones-openings-etc.md)

### Arc ✨ <a href="#h_0c4abcaaaa" id="h_0c4abcaaaa"></a>

<figure><img src="https://downloads.intercomcdn.com/i/o/675316737/3fdeb2cb5e12a7c077e14fba/ezgif.com-optimize+%284%29.gif" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

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 ✨ <a href="#h_d08d0e4859" id="h_d08d0e4859"></a>

<figure><img src="https://downloads.intercomcdn.com/i/o/682632684/cf80941ef6fd53c01d8392a9/Matchprop.gif" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

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!](/documentation/design/styles.md)

## And some are better 💪 <a href="#h_3b3347190f" id="h_3b3347190f"></a>

### Offsetting door & window openings💪 <a href="#h_d4b2155bce" id="h_d4b2155bce"></a>

<figure><img src="https://downloads.intercomcdn.com/i/o/675319492/17a7a3e0f1fea8e84208ad26/ezgif.com-optimize+%285%29.gif" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

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!](/documentation/publishing-and-sharing.md)

### PDF import💪 <a href="#h_1188b12203" id="h_1188b12203"></a>

<figure><img src="https://downloads.intercomcdn.com/i/o/675946029/40539380e5eeb1effa9ef7f3/ezgif.com-optimize+%286%29.gif" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

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!](/documentation/team-management-and-billing.md)
