Tip

You can move objects on one layer while you are working on another

layer. To avoid doing this accidentally, you should lock layers that you

are not currently working on.

An example drawing: house plan and furniture

A popular application for programs like Draw is the “moving the furniture” scenario.

You can easily draw the floor plan of a room or a house using Draw. The simplest way

is to draw walls as thick lines. Draw single rectangles or polygons and combine them:

place them together, select them, then from the right-click menu use Shapes >

Merge to make a single figure and add a hatching pattern. Before doing this, you

should read the section “Drawing to scale” on page 146.

For this example, a suitable measurement unit is the centimeter. The drawing scale

and grid settings depend on the size of the floor plan.

Use the Position and Size dialog (right-click and choose Position and Size) to position

and dimension the individual wall sections easily. Make sure that the rectangles

completely overlap (see Figure 184) otherwise the merging will give uneven edges.

Figure 184: Wall corner from two rectangles. From upper to

lower: before merging, after merging and after hatching

Figure 185 shows the finished floor plan. In addition, a chest of drawers has been

added.

The body of the chest is drawn on the Layout layer; the pulled-out drawer and the

open doors are drawn as a group and put on a separate user-defined layer (Layer4 in

our example). Figure 186 shows how this is done. Making the layer with the drawers

and doors visible or hidden will show them open and closed (see Figure 187). Hidden

layers are shown with a colored tab.
