How to Enhance Restoration Documentation with magicplan Custom Objects

The Custom Object Manager is a feature in magicplan that lets you take personalization to the next level. It gives you the power to enhance the existing magicplan library with your own items. This means you can add any business-specific equipment or unique items that you frequently use in your restoration projects to your company workspace.

How to Add Custom Objects

Here's how to add new objects to your magicplan library:

1. Access the magicplan Cloud:

• Go to the magicplan Cloud and select "Custom Objects" from the left sidebar.

2. Create Your Object Collection:

• Click "Create Collection" to start a new folder for your objects.

• Enter the name of the collection and upload an SVG file to represent this category within the app's object menu.

3. Organize Your Objects:

• After creating the collection, you may want to categorize your objects further.

• Select "Create Category" for organization within your collection (like 'Drying Equipment Objects' or a 'Fire Damage' objects collection).

• Upload an SVG file for each category as you did for the collection.

4. Add Custom Objects:

• Click "Create Custom Object" within your collection or category.

• Fill in the details such as name, category, type (wall, floor, or abstract), measurement system, and dimensions.

• Decide if the object will keep its aspect ratio, if it's resizable, and if it should be a floating object.

• Choose if your object is asymmetrical if you want to mirror it in the app.

5. Preview and Save:

• After entering all details, click "Save and Preview".

• Import icon files for 2D and Top view rendering and preview again.

• For 2D views and the Object Teaser Image, upload SVG files for top and elevation views.

• Additionally, if you want to view your objects in 3D, you can upload an OBJ file for 3D rendering of the object.

6. Finalize and Implement:

• Once satisfied with the preview, save the object.

• Your custom objects are now ready to be used within magicplan, enhancing the accuracy and detail of your project sketches.

  
  

By following these steps, you can create a collection of custom objects in magicplan that reflect the real-world tools and equipment you use, making your documentation as accurate and helpful as possible.
