|  |  | Adding texts

To add free texts to the home plan, you must first choose Plan > Add texts or select the Add texts tool. Add texts tool To add a new text, click at its location in the home plan, then enter its text in the pane that will appear as shown below. Once a text is created, you may change its size and its style with the menu items available in Plan > Modify text style submenu. You may also change its text, its alignment, its font, its color and its 3D rendering by selecting the Plan > Modify text menu item. Selecting the Visible in the 3D view check box in the modification pane will let the text appear in the 3D view too, either horizontally or vertically oriented.
Horizontal orientation |  | Vertical orientation with elevation
To end adding texts, choose Plan > Select or select the Select tool (or an other tool). Select tool In Selection mode, you may rotate one selected text with its indicator, or double-click on it to display its modification pane.

• | The name of a piece of furniture and the name of a room may also be displayed in the home plan. The behavior of these texts as well as the behavior of the texts of the area of rooms and the length of dimensions are different from the one of the free texts created with the Add texts tool, because their location is relative to the object to which they are bound. Thus, unlike a free text, a bound text will move with its object when you'll move its object, it will be copied with its object and it will be deleted with its object.
• | The font used by default by free texts is set in the Default font drop down list shown in the Preferences pane.
• | While Add texts tool is selected, some tools and menus are disabled. If you need these tools, select the Select tool again.
