Endpoint adjust pad on mobile

The endpoint adjust pad is the mobile finger-precision pad that lets you place a wall's start point — or fine-tune an endpoint — without trying to drag pixel-perfectly with a fingertip. It uses a directional d-pad, a step-size dial, and a Length option so you can land on an exact position even on a small screen.

When the pad opens

On mobile, the pad opens when you tap the canvas with the Draw Wall tool active. A crosshair appears under your tap and the pad anchors to the bottom of the screen. You can also reach the pad from other flows that need finger-precise positioning — Node Mode hands off to it before the first wall vertex, and the tape-measure tool uses it for measurement marks and guide drops.

What's on the pad

Four arrows (up / down / left / right) Tap an arrow to nudge the crosshair by one step in that direction. Press and hold an arrow to keep stepping continuously — you can sweep a long distance without lifting your finger.

Step dial (centre) Tap the centre button to cycle through the available step sizes. Imperial uses 1/16", 1/4", 1", 1 ft, 10 ft. Metric uses 1 mm, 5 mm, 10 mm, 100 mm, 1 m. The default is 1 ft (or 100 mm) — the most common bulk move.

Length button When the pad is in a flow that supports it, a Length button appears next to Set. Tap it to type an exact distance instead of nudging. The dialog accepts the same formats as the Length field and adds quick-insert chips for ', ", and space on imperial. If the Length button isn't there, the current flow doesn't accept typed distances — use the d-pad instead.

Set Commits the crosshair at its current position and moves on — for a wall start, that's the start point; for a wall endpoint, that closes the segment.

Done Leaves the pad without placing the current point, keeping any work you've already committed.

Opacity slider (right edge) A vertical slider on the right edge fades the pad down to about 35% opacity so you can peek at the canvas behind it. Drag down to fade, drag up to restore. The setting persists — the next time you open the pad, it remembers where you left the slider.

Proximity snap prompt

If you nudge the crosshair within about 1 foot (304.8 mm) of a snap target — a wall endpoint, a tape-dim endpoint, a pin guide, or a measurement mark — a banner appears at the top of the pad saying Nearby snap — tap to use with a Yes / No pair (or a single Snap button when there's no dismiss path). Tap Yes to commit to the snap target instead of the freehand crosshair position. Tap No to keep nudging.

Tips

• The d-pad supports a tap-and-hold to repeat. For long sweeps, set the dial to 1 ft (or 1 m), hold the arrow, and lift when you're close. Then drop the dial to 1/16" (or 1 mm) and fine-tune.
• The pad covers the bottom of the screen by design — that's where your thumb is. The opacity slider on the right is always at full opacity so you can find and grab it regardless of pad transparency.
• If you don't see the Length button, you're in a flow that doesn't accept typed distances (for example, simple measurement-mark drops on the tape-measure tool). Use the d-pad instead.
• The proximity-snap banner is the safety net for off-by-a-tick placement — if you nudged past a snap target by mistake, just tap the banner instead of nudging back.
