Your Place Your Way
To define a place on the map, select one of the tools from the toolbar. Place tools include poly shapes,
map markers, and images used like icons. This variety helps define many different types of shapes
found in maps and floor plans. Below shows an example of adding a polygon around the shape of a
building.

with the last used color. The shape’s
opacity will default to 60%. Both the color
and opacity can be changed from the
settings panel (see next page).
