Import and Calibrate the Drawing
Before importing a drawing, identify a horizontal/vertical segment or rectangular area with known real-world dimensions in your project units.
Calibration defines the scale of the level drawing relative to real dimensions. This is used for calculating walking distances in the Path Network.
Calibration is quick (10–20 seconds) and ±0.5 m accuracy is sufficient.
Steps:
Right-click the Level background to open the context menu.
Select Edit background drawing → Import and Calibrate. The file dialog opens.
Choose a drawing image (
.png,.jpeg,.webp, or.svg) and click Open. The file loads and a red border appears indicating Calibration mode.(Optional) Maximize the window for better accuracy.
Select known dimensions:
Rectangle: Drag from one corner to the opposite.
Line (horizontal/vertical): Hold
Shiftfor a 1:1 aspect ratio, then drag from one end to the other.
Confirm the calibration in the overlay dialog.
If needed, repeat step 2 until satisfied.
Enter the real dimensions in the input fields.
Confirm again to save calibration.
Notes
If the selected area is too small, it appears red. Enlarge until it switches to normal.
Repeat selection until you’re satisfied with accuracy.
