On This Page
The Plot Plan Editor is a canvas-based drawing tool for creating site layout plans. It runs directly in the browser using a visual editor built on Fabric.js.
Overview
The plot plan shows the property layout including:
- Property boundaries
- Building locations (house, garage, other structures)
- Well location and setback distances
- Septic system components (tank, bed/mound, pipes)
- Setback lines and measurements
- North arrow and scale
Canvas Tools
The editor provides drawing tools for:
- Shapes — rectangles, circles, lines for property features
- Text — labels and annotations
- Measurements — dimension lines with automatic length display
- Component placement — pre-built symbols for septic system elements
- Grid — optional snap grid for alignment
Working with Objects
- Select — click an object to select it; drag to move
- Resize — drag corner handles to resize selected objects
- Rotate — use the rotation handle above selected objects
- Delete — select an object and press Delete or use the delete button
- Undo — Ctrl+Z to undo the last action
Saving
The plot plan is saved automatically with your design when you save from the Finish page. You can also save independently from the Plot Plan Editor.
PDF Export
When you download your design PDF from the Finish page, the plot plan is included as a separate page. The editor’s grid lines are automatically removed from the PDF output.
Tips
- Use the grid and snap features for precise alignment of property features.
- The plot plan can be created or edited at any time — before, during, or after completing the design wizard.
- Zoom in for detail work and zoom out to check overall layout.
