Getting Started

It might be useful for you to load a few sample plans to get an idea of the kind of things Home Plan Pro can do, but the best way to learn Home Plan Pro, is to start a new plan and start drawing.

Start by drawing a line with the mouse:

1.  Press and Hold down the Left mouse button.

2.  Drag the line to where you want it to end.

3.  Release the button.

If the full screen crosshairs are on, you may need to move the cursor to see the line you just made.

Now repeat the above steps pressing the Shift key to draw an angled line.

Now to use the keyboard:

1.  Press the Enter key.

2.  Move the cursor with the cursor or number pad keys.

3.  Press the Enter key.

Got lines down? Click the mouse on the Dimension button. 

1.  Press the Left mouse button.

2.  Drag the line to where you want it to end.

3.  Release the Left mouse button.

Press Esc or click another tool to stop drawing dimensions. 

Try rectangles, walls, text, etc.

Keep drawing, you are well on your way to effectively using Home Plan Pro.

Note: Use Right Mouse button on a blank spot of the drawing to pop up a menu.
