4 Scale the Drawing
This step requires you scale the floor you have sketched. It is important for Summit WMScanner to
know the relational distance of one wall to another. Press the Scale Floor button on the wizard dialog
to begin scaling the drawing. You will be prompted to select two locations by left clicking your
mouse at two different points in the drawing. After selecting two points, you will then be prompted
to enter a the physical real world distance between those two points.
You may choose to check the option to Lock cursor to line end points during scale to enable you to
accurately scale the drawing based on the distance from the end point of one wall to the end point of
another wall. “Scale Drawing” on page 208 provides additional information on scaling a final
assembled drawing without using the Building Floor Manager.
NOTE
You cannot lock you cursor to elements in an image, only objects in the drawing such as lines or partitions.
