Add, Move, or Remove Orientation Text

The Orientation Text tool lets you add descriptive text to your floorplan. This can help employees identify landmarks or compass directions, such as North/South, City/River, Station, Quiet Zone, other buildings, and street names.

Coming soon! We are working on more rotation and sizing options.

You will need the secured action to use this tool, see Security in Space Module.
