Canvas context menu

The canvas context menu is the quick-action menu that opens when you right-click on desktop or long-press on mobile. The entries adapt to what you clicked on — a wall, a fixture, an opening, a guide, a tape dim, an annotation, or empty canvas all show different menus. This page is the reference for what each branch can contain.

How to open it

• Desktop: right-click anywhere on the canvas. The browser's default right-click menu is suppressed in favour of the app menu.
• Mobile: long-press anywhere on the canvas (press and hold for about half a second).

If multiple entities are selected and you right-click any one of them, the menu leads with Duplicate Selection (N items) before the type-specific entries below — see Duplicate a selection.

Empty canvas

When the click lands away from any entity:

Entry	What it does
Add Horizontal Guide here	Drops a horizontal guide at the click position. See Inference and alignment guides.
Add Vertical Guide here	Drops a vertical guide at the click position.
Center Canvas	Fits the whole plan back into the viewport. Appears on desktop and mobile alike; on desktop the app-bar Center Canvas button does the same thing.

On a wall

See the dedicated Wall context menu for the full list. Entries: Split Wall, Duplicate Wall, Properties (mobile only), Delete Wall.

On a fixture

Entry	What it does
Hide Dims / Show Dims	Rough-ins only. Toggle the spider dimension lines for this rough-in. See the per-fixture Show Dims toggle in the entity panel.
Rotate 90°	Rotates the fixture by 90 degrees clockwise.
Rotate 45°	Rotates the fixture by 45 degrees.
Properties	Mobile only. Opens the full fixture properties sheet. Desktop has the entity panel always visible.
Duplicate	Drops a copy nearby.
Delete	Removes the fixture.

The Hide Dims / Show Dims entry only shows on the rough-in fixture types — toilet, sink, washer/dryer, bar sink, tub, shower, floor drain, and plumbing stack rough-ins.

On an opening (door / window / cased opening)

Entry	What it does
Properties	Mobile only. Opens the full opening properties dialog. The entry name reads Door Properties, Window Properties, or Opening Properties depending on the type.
Rotate Swing	Doors only. Cycles through the four swing orientations (left-in, left-out, right-in, right-out).
Duplicate	Adds a copy on the same wall in the nearest free gap. Rejects with a snackbar if the wall is too crowded.
Delete	Removes the opening. The entry reads Delete Door / Delete Window / Delete Opening depending on the type.

On a tape dimension

Entry	What it does
Duplicate	Drops a copy nearby.
Delete Tape Dim	Removes the tape dim.

On a guide

See the dedicated Guide context menu.

Entry	What it does
Delete Guide	Removes the guide.

On an annotation (text, leader text, segment dim)

Entry	What it does
Duplicate	Drops a copy nearby.
Bring to Front	Stacks the annotation on top of other annotations. Affects both render order and which annotation wins when multiple overlap on hit-test.
Send to Back	Drops the annotation underneath.
Delete	Removes the annotation.

Multi-selection

When the entity you right-click or long-press is part of a multi-selection:

• The menu prepends Duplicate Selection (N items) so the whole group copies together.
• Delete on any entry in the menu removes the entire selection as one undo step — Ctrl+Z once restores all of them.
• The type-specific entries below the divider still appear, scoped to the entity you actually right-clicked.

Tips

• The menu always opens at the click position. On mobile, the long-press hold time is calibrated to be deliberate — quick taps don't trigger it.
• Right-click on a wall endpoint surfaces the wall menu, not an endpoint menu. There's no separate endpoint context menu.
• The browser's "View Source" / "Save Image As" right-click is suppressed on the canvas so the app menu wins. Other parts of the page (toolbar, app bar) still use the browser default.
• If the menu doesn't appear, you may have clicked outside the canvas. Long-press only works on the drawing canvas itself, not on the toolbar or app bar.
