How to create an Advanced Site Plan

This article will explain the differences between the standard and advanced site plan. The advanced site plan comes with a range of customizations including page sizes, scales and multiple display options that can be adjusted for every page.

 

The standard site plan within canibuild is set to always display in A3 or Tabloid (11 x 17″ or 279 × 432 mm) and will always work to the main two set scales unless the boundary exceeds this. This is where the Advanced Site Plan comes in with the flexibility to adjust every variable.
