Entity info button (mobile)

The floating info button at the bottom-right of the mobile canvas — opens the full property sheet for whatever is selected, or for the room.

The entity info button is the small floating button at the bottom-right of the mobile canvas. Tap it to open a bottom sheet with the full properties of whatever is currently selected — or, with nothing selected, the room info, flooring, and layer toggles. It's the mobile path to the same content desktop shows in the right-rail entity panel.

Mobile only. Desktop shows the entity panel as a permanent right rail, so there's no separate button.

When the button appears

The button sits at the bottom-right corner of the canvas whenever the mobile editor is active. It hides automatically while any canvas overlay is up — the Node Mode d-pad, the endpoint adjust pad, or the snap loupe — so it doesn't compete for thumb space with the precision controls.

What the sheet shows

Tapping the button opens a draggable bottom sheet at about mid-screen. Drag the handle at the top to expand it to full-screen, or pull it down to dismiss.

The sheet renders the same content as the desktop entity panel, scoped to whatever is selected:

  • Nothing selected: room info, flooring config, and layer toggles.
  • Wall selected: wall properties.
  • Opening selected: door, window, or cased opening properties.
  • Fixture selected: fixture properties, including auto-orient and lock-to-wall toggles where they apply.
  • Guide selected: guide properties.
  • Annotation or tape dim selected: annotation / tape dim editor.

Tap outside the sheet to dismiss it without changing your selection.

How it pairs with the mobile edit bar

When you select a wall, opening, guide, or fixture on mobile, a compact edit bar appears at the bottom of the screen with the most-used actions (length input, delete, deselect). That bar is the always-on quick-edit. The info button is the "give me everything" path — every property the desktop entity panel surfaces.

If you only need to resize a wall or delete a guide, the bottom edit bar is enough. If you need to change a wall's thickness, an opening's swing, a fixture's rough-in distance, or any other deeper field, tap the info button.

Tips

  • The info button stays out of the way while you're drawing. It hides whenever a d-pad or precision pad takes over the bottom of the screen, then returns when you commit.
  • The sheet is draggable — pull the handle up to expand to full-screen for long property lists, or down to collapse to about a quarter of the screen for a peek.
  • For room info, flooring, and layer toggles, you don't need anything selected — just tap the info button with empty canvas as the selection state.
  • The canvas context menu (long-press) also has a Properties entry on walls, fixtures, and openings that opens the same sheet directly.
