Edit geometry overlays on a drawing
Use the geometry overlay editor to review and adjust polygons, polylines and counted points on an uploaded drawing.
This guide is designed for project manager.
Steps
Step 1: Open the drawing with geometry overlays
Navigate to the drawing that has material schedule geometry attached and open it so the image and overlay editor are displayed together.
Step 2: Show or hide geometry overlays
Use the geometry visibility toggle to show the polygons, polylines and counted points over the drawing, or hide them to view the image alone.
Step 3: Review polygons, polylines and points
Inspect each polygon outline, line measurement and counted point rendered in the normalised image space to confirm they align with the drawing.
Step 4: Select a geometry vertex for editing
Click on a polygon or polyline vertex to make it active so you can adjust its position without changing the underlying geometry type.
Step 5: Nudge a vertex using the keyboard
With a vertex selected, use the keyboard arrow keys to nudge it; the editor automatically clamps movements so the point stays within the drawing area.
Step 6: Add a new point to refine the shape
Use the add-point control near a selected edge to insert a midpoint, increasing the number of vertices so you can refine the polygon or polyline shape.
Step 7: Remove an unnecessary point
Select a redundant vertex and use the remove-point control to simplify the shape while the editor enforces the minimum number of points required.
Step 8: Confirm updated geometry for schedule items
After editing, review the adjusted shapes and points, then save your changes so the linked material schedule items use the updated geometry.
