Ellipse

An oval on the drawing. Drag out the box it sits in, or click two opposite corners.

Why you would use it

The same job as a box, where a box would be mistaken for something on the drawing. Plans are full of rectangles; an oval reads as somebody’s mark rather than as part of the building.

For example

What to do

1. Drag out the box the oval sits in.
2. Or click two opposite corners.

Going further

Stored as the four corners of its box, so dragging a corner reshapes it like any other markup.
