2D Plans in Ciemetric: A Clear and Detailed View of Your Layout
To work efficiently on your project, it's essential to consult the technical drawings of your layout. Here’s how the 2D plan interface is structured in Ciemetric:
1 > An Overview of the Project
The first page displays the full plan, including all rooms if your project contains more than one. This gives you a global view and helps you position each space accurately.
Note: To access the detailed plan for each room, simply click the R0, R1, R2, etc. labels.
2 > Detailed Technical Plans by Room
By selecting a specific room, you’ll see a 2D technical drawing that includes all the measurements and dimensions needed for proper design.
3 > Elevations
Each wall can be explored individually by clicking its icon. This brings up 2D elevations, giving you a detailed view of vertical arrangements, heights, and wall-specific elements.
4 > Island Views
If your layout includes an island, you can also view its various perspectives to fully understand its dimensions and features.
Once everything has been reviewed, it's important to save the technical drawings so they can be shared with your client. You’ll find the steps for doing this in the page Generate the Technical Plan.
