Help
The step by step for every tool, for the Copilot and for the settings windows — written from the application itself.
Guides
- Plare Copilot — Ask in plain language for what you would draw by hand: the Copilot runs real commands in the project.
- Interface and shortcuts — Where each piece of Plare sits, what each one shows and which key triggers it.
- Preferences — The four tabs of Preferences: shortcuts, general, screen and AI — and where each choice is stored.
- Settings windows — The windows that configure one object: wall, door, window, slab, style library, types, display and the sheet.
- Sheet and title block — Assembling the sheet — format, scale, margin, border and title block — and sending it to paper or to PDF.
Navigation and measuring
- Select — Select elements to move, edit or delete.
- Pan view — Drag the viewport without touching the geometry.
- Measure — Doesn't draw yet. Measure distances and angles, without storing the result.
Creating elements
- Wall — Draw walls in a chain, with a free or exact length.
- Image — Insert a reference image over the drawing.
- Door — Cut a door into the span of a wall already drawn.
- Window — Cut a window into the span of a wall already drawn.
- Slab — Draw the slab of a room by clicking its corners.
- Roof — Draw the roof — the slab gesture, plus the pitch.
- Column — Place columns at the point you click.
- Beam — Connect two supports with a beam.
Modifying
- Rotate — Rotate the selection — drag or type the angle.
- Scale — Doesn't draw yet. Resize the selection proportionally.
- Push/Pull — Doesn't draw yet. Extrude a face to create depth.
- Offset — Doesn't draw yet. Create a parallel copy of a line or wall.
- Eraser — Doesn't draw yet. Delete elements from the drawing.
