The client sent a scanned plan. Can I draw over it instead of starting from scratch?
How do I trace over an old plan or a PDF?

SOLUTION
Yes, with Trace in the 2D editor:
- Bring in a scan, a phone photo or a page of a PDF.
- Set its scale: click both ends of a dimension you know and type its length. (PDFs come in at 1:100 until you do.)
- Straighten it against a wall, move it and fade it.
- Draw walls and rooms over it.
Each floor can have its own image. Traced images only show in the 2D editor, never in 3D, exports or the client link.
