Opening edit panel (mobile)

The compact bottom bar that appears when a door, window, or cased opening is selected on mobile.

When you select a door, window, or cased opening on mobile, a compact edit bar slides up from the bottom of the screen. It carries the quick-edit controls — the things you most often want to flip without opening the full property sheet. For everything else, the entity info button at the bottom-right opens the full property sheet.

Mobile only. Desktop shows opening properties in the right-rail entity panel — there's no separate mobile-style bottom bar on desktop.

What's on the bar

Element What it shows / does
Type icon A door icon for doors, a window icon for windows and cased openings. Read-only.
Type label Door, Window, or Opening — read-only.
Dimensions pill The opening's width × height, in inches-only format (for example, 32" x 80"). Read-only on the bar — open the entity info sheet to change dimensions.
Swing button (doors only) Shows the current swing as In ←, In →, Out ←, or Out →. Tap to cycle through the four swing directions.
Arc toggle (doors only) An eye icon that toggles the swing arc on the plan. Open eye = arc visible, closed eye = arc hidden.
Delete (trash icon) Removes the opening.
Deselect (close icon) Clears the selection without deleting.

Doors vs. windows vs. cased openings on the bar

  • Door: type label, dimensions, swing cycle button, arc toggle, delete, deselect.
  • Window: type label, dimensions, delete, deselect. No swing or arc — windows don't have either.
  • Cased Opening: type label, dimensions, delete, deselect. Same as a window — cased openings have no swing or arc.

How it pairs with the info button

The mobile opening edit panel is the always-on quick-edit. For everything else — width, height, sill height, exterior toggle, double-door, trim width, door style / slab type / hardware finish, notes, existing flag — tap the entity info button at the bottom-right to open the full property sheet.

The property sheet on mobile carries the same fields as the desktop entity panel. The mobile bar isn't a replacement for it — it's the surface for the things you flip most often during placement (swing direction, arc visibility) plus the two universal selection actions (delete, deselect).

Moving an opening along its wall

Drag the opening on the canvas to slide it along the wall it's mounted on. The dimensions pill on the bar stays the same throughout the drag — width and height don't change from a position drag, only the opening's location along the wall does. To drop the opening onto a different wall, drag past the corner — the opening hops to the adjacent wall when the cursor crosses near a shared endpoint. See Opening overlap prevention for what happens when the destination wall is too crowded.

Tips

  • The deselect (close) button is the fastest way to drop the selection without committing any changes. Same as tapping empty canvas.
  • To delete from a menu instead, long-press the opening to open the opening context menu, which has the same Delete entry.
  • The swing cycle on the bar walks through the four directions in order: In ←In →Out ←Out → → back to In ←. If you overshoot, tap once more to wrap around.
  • The bar replaces other bottom-bar content for the duration of the selection. Switch selections (or deselect) to bring back the wall edit bar, guide edit bar, or measurement bar if one of those was previously up.
