3. The circular red cursor will appear at the edge of the last line that you closed
when drawing the last area. If the cursor is located at the right starting point,
simply click and proceed to step 5. If the cursor is not located at
the correct starting point, proceed to step 4.
4. You can reposition the cursor to a different location by using on of the following
methods:
Use the arrow keys ( ) to navigate along the walls of
the first area.
Type in a dimension and a direction to navigate the starting point to any
particular location. For example, to move the cursor 5ft to the right
from the current location simply click the following . Note
you can also use this method to navigate along the walls of pre-drawn
areas.
Once you have positioned the red circular starting point at the correct
location click on the button.
5. Using the keypad, draw out the area that you wish to add. Note that if the area
you are adding is adjacent to and sharing walls with another area, for calculation
purposes, you must also trace over the shared walls.
EXAMPLE: Using a new sketching pad, draw the following Main area.
(Draws a 15 ft. line to the right.)
(Draws a 5 ft line upward.)
(Draws a 25 ft. line to the right.)
(Draws a 35 ft. line downward.)
13
(Draws a 40 ft. line to the left.)
(Draws a 30 ft. line upward and closes the drawing.)
At this point the drawing should look like this:
To add a 15 ft. x 15 ft. attached garage at the upper right hand corner of the structure do the
following:
1. Click on the new Area Button.
2. Select the garage from the dialog box and click OK. A red circle will appear on the furthest
left-hand corner of the structure, the place where the last area was closed.
3. To move the cursor to the upper-right corner do the following:

14
5. Click This draws the 15 ft. East wall of the garage.
6. Click This draws the 15 ft. South wall of the garage.
7. Notice that although the garage looks closed because it shares a wall with the home, the
dimensions are not displayed. In order to close the garage and have the dimensions displayed
you must re-trace the shared wall. You can close the area in several ways:
Use the quick-close feature or the blue upward close arrow.
Type the exact dimensions to close the area ( ).
The finished area should look similar to this:
XII. EDITING AN AREA
A. Editing a Closed Area

segment (wall) to reopen the area.
To open a closed area:
(1) Click on any of the walls on the sketch. The line will turn red.
(2) Click the “Delete” button on the keypad. The wall will be removed and two black
circles will be positioned at the open endpoints of the sketch.
(3) To begin drawing, click on one of the endpoints and use the drawing methods to correct
your sketch. Remember that the area must be closed for calculations to display.
15
EXAMPLE: Create a new area on a clean sketch pad. For instructions on starting a new
sketch refer to the “Creating a New Sketch” portion of this manual. After selecting a new
area and the starting point , enter the following:
Draws a 12 foot line to the right.
Draws a 12 foot line upward.
Draws a 12 foot line to the left.
Draws a 12 ft. line downward and closes the area.
You have drawn a 12 ft. X 12 ft. square. Suppose you forgot to include the triangular top of
the structure. Before being able to make any changes on the sketch you need to delete one of
the walls. Since we will be adding angled lines on the upper portion of the sketch, delete the
upper 12ft line. To delete it, simply click on the line and then click on the “Delete”
button. You are left with a squared U.
Click on the circle on the right hand side of the U to select the start point. .
Enter the following:
Draws a 8 ½ ft. Northwest line angled at
45 degrees using the exact degree method of drawing angled lines.
Draws a 8 ½ ft. Southwest line angled at 45 degrees
using the exact 45 degree drawing button.
The resulting sketch should look like a baseball home base plate with an area of 180.12 sq ft.
and a 53 ft. perimeter.
