Editing Images


When you edit an image, the elements are permanently embedded in the file, which is why they can no longer be changed after saving. If a change is necessary, an earlier version can be restored via the Version history.


Edit Images

The following section describes how to edit images directly in buildagil.
In the open image, click Edit Online or the "pencil icon."



Plan sections can also be edited using the following editing tools. For more information on plan sections, see the following article: Create a plan section

  1. Moving the Image/Selecting and Editing Elements

When an item is selected, the following options are available:

You can move and rotate the element using the handles.



Under "Style," there are various options for editing the appearance of the selected element (e.g., color, thickness, opacity, symbols, text size, etc.).



Tip: When you change an element's style, the settings are saved and applied when you draw the next element.
