Some things are new ✨
Patterns ✨
![](https://docs.rayon.design/~gitbook/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdownloads.intercomcdn.com%2Fi%2Fo%2F673958355%2Fd201354f4ad69d687566c8a3%2Fezgif.com-optimize.gif&width=768&dpr=4&quality=100&sign=15469f46&sv=1)
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 ✨
![](https://docs.rayon.design/~gitbook/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdownloads.intercomcdn.com%2Fi%2Fo%2F675308713%2F576693fd8a16457ceab9c32f%2Fezgif.com-optimize%2B%25281%2529.gif&width=768&dpr=4&quality=100&sign=39efee1a&sv=1)
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 ✨
![](https://docs.rayon.design/~gitbook/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdownloads.intercomcdn.com%2Fi%2Fo%2F675311140%2F64ad51cc8749f6a82774379f%2Fezgif.com-optimize%2B%25282%2529.gif&width=768&dpr=4&quality=100&sign=d0386a3c&sv=1)
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 ✨
![](https://docs.rayon.design/~gitbook/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdownloads.intercomcdn.com%2Fi%2Fo%2F675316737%2F3fdeb2cb5e12a7c077e14fba%2Fezgif.com-optimize%2B%25284%2529.gif&width=768&dpr=4&quality=100&sign=6c204100&sv=1)
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 theLine (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!
