Pins

This is where the magic happens.

Pins are used to represent action within your scene. Use movement to bring your vision to life and customise your pin to accurately represent your imagination or plan. Pins can be used for mapping out directions, demonstrating changes over time, identifying an area, coordinating movement of objects, and more!

You can find all your pins in the Pin Library.

Pin library

The Pin Library is where you will find all the pins you need to create your project. The Pin library can be accessed by clicking on ‘Add Pin”

You’ll notice two different tabs at the top of the pin library. You’ll notice the ‘Pin Library’ tab and the ‘My Pins’ tab. Below is some information on how best to use them.

Pin Library

Here you can browse the different recommended pins that SpaceDraft has to offer. Click and drag the pins you like into your space to add them, or select multiple pins and click the blue ‘place pin’ button, and multiple will be added at once.

My Pins

This tab will show you all the pins that are currently in your project. Clicking on them will highlight where they are within the space. Additionally if you click the Heart Icon, You can favourite a pin, this will allow you to use these pins in other scenes, For more information on this, click here.

Build Your Own Pin

At the base of the pin libarry you’ll find the ‘Build Your Own Pin’ button. Clicking on this will allow you to create more unique custom pins, or further customise existing ones.

The possibilities are endless when it comes to customising a pin. Here you can:

• Add text
• Add Arrows or lines of different sizes and colours
• Insert shapes and change their colours or sizes
• Upload an image to use as the pin
• Introduce pins from the pin library and draw on top of them to enhance them
• Adjust the opacity to make your pin more transparent

Make your vision come to life by using the right pins for you scene.
