How to use the action bar to edit shapes and property boundaries

Learn how to use the action bar to edit shapes and property boundaries.

Written by Airah Oquias

The action bar appears when you draw a shape using the drawing tools or click a property boundary on the map. It provides quick access to editing tools that let you customise the appearance of your property boundaries, shapes, markups and annotations.

Use these tools to adjust colours, line weights, and other visual properties to make objects or elements on the map stand out or match your branding.

Once you've selected an element on your map, the action bar lets you:

1. Rename your shapes, markups and annotations
Give your shapes, markups and annotations clear, descriptive names to help you stay organised and identify them easily later.

2. Adjust fill colour
Change the interior colour of shapes or property boundaries to help differentiate between different areas or property features on your map.

3. Modify stroke colour
Update the outline colour of your elements to make them stand out or coordinate with your colour scheme.

4. Change stroke weight
Increase or decrease the thickness of your element's outline to adjust its visibility on the map.

5. Access additional options
Click the More button (three dots) to reveal extra editing tools, including:

  • Hide – Temporarily remove shapes, markups and annotations from view without deleting them

  • Delete – Permanently remove items from your map

  • Duplicate – Create a copy of your shapes, markups and annotations

  • Save to project – Save your shapes, markups and annotations in a specific project for future reference

  • Display area – Tick this option to show the calculated area measurement for shapes

  • Display line length – Tick this option to show the length measurement for lines and shape perimeters

How to Use the Action Bar

  1. Click on any shape, markup or annotation you've added to your map

  2. The action bar will appear at the bottom centre of your map

  3. Select the editing option you need (rename, fill colour, stroke colour or stroke weight)

  4. Make your changes

  5. Click elsewhere on the map or press Enter to save your edits
