This guide outlines the general workflow for modifying various types of assets in your 2D floorplan, specifically the property fields for each item category.
Zlendo Realty provides two distinct workflows to modify your design assets depending on the depth of customization required:
1. The Right-Side Properties Panel for basic editing: Use the asset properties box to modify standard dimensions, structural coordinates, orientation angles, and basic layout parameters.
– Best for quick, high-level adjustments directly on your main canvas.
2. The Advanced Asset Editors: Use the asset editors to launch an isolated, full-screen detailing workspace via the floating toolbar.
– Best to handle intricate surface detailing for multiple layers, including editing materials, textures and colors, with specialized toolsets tailored to specific asset classes.

Refine Pattern Scaling (Texture Repeat)
To ensure structural materials look perfectly true-to-scale across the overhead expanse, adjust the mapping constraints found under the Texture Repeat menu block:
Width: Controls the horizontal tiling span of your selected texture pattern.
Depth: Controls the vertical run density of the layout pattern.
Custom Ceiling Properties: Create and edit custom ceiling shapes using the available Draw and Modify Tools. After creating a shape, apply textures from the Material Editor and customize the appearance of each shape independently. The Shape Properties panel provides options to adjust the Thickness of the ceiling feature and configure Texture Repeat settings to control the scale and repetition of the applied texture. This allows unique ceiling designs with customized shapes, materials, and texture patterns within the same ceiling layout.
Step 4: Finalize or Revert Your Workspace Changes
Reset: Click the white button located at the lower right to drop your pending design changes and start fresh.
Finish: Click the green button at the bottom right corner of the screen to lock in your custom ceiling design and return seamlessly to your main project file.
Common Draw and Modify Tools Across Floor, Ceiling, and Wall Editors #
The Common Draw and Modify Tools provide a consistent set of creation and editing functions across the Floor Editor, Ceiling Editor, and Wall Editor. Use the draw tools to create geometric and freeform shapes, and the modify tools to adjust, align, duplicate, trim, extend, offset, rotate, mirror, or delete selected elements. These tools ensure precise design and editing workflows while maintaining consistency across all editor types.
Draw Tools #
Description:
The Draw Tools allow you to create custom floor shapes, boundaries, and layout guides. Use these tools to design floor areas with precise geometric shapes or freeform curves, providing flexibility for a wide range of floor planning and paving layouts.
Line: Draw straight line segments to create custom boundaries, edges, or layout guides.
Rectangle: Create rectangular floor shapes with defined width and height.
Hexagon: Draw six-sided geometric shapes for decorative or custom floor layouts.
Polygon: Create custom multi-sided shapes by defining individual corner points.
Circle: Draw perfectly circular floor areas or design elements.
Ellipse: Create oval or elongated circular shapes for custom floor designs.
Arc: Draw curved segments to create rounded edges or complex floor boundaries.
Spline: Create smooth, freeform curves by placing control points along a path.
Reference Line: Add guide lines to assist with alignment, positioning, and accurate drawing without affecting the final design.
Modify Tools #
Description:
The Modify Tools help refine and adjust existing shapes and floor elements after they have been created. Use these tools to duplicate, align, rotate, trim, extend, offset, or remove objects, enabling precise editing and efficient design modifications.
Copy: Create a duplicate of the selected shape or element.
Repeat: Generate multiple copies of the selected object at a specified spacing or pattern.
Mirror: Create a mirrored version of the selected object across a reference axis.
Rotate: Rotate the selected object around a reference point by a specified angle.
Align: Arrange objects by aligning them to a common edge, center, or reference line.
Trim: Remove unwanted portions of lines or shapes using boundary intersections.
Extend: Lengthen lines or edges until they meet another object or boundary.
Fillet Corner: Create a smooth rounded corner between two intersecting edges.
Offset: Create a parallel copy of a line or shape at a specified distance.
Delete: Remove the selected object from the design.
🪟 Advanced Materials Editor: Doors/Windows/Furniture Models #
When customizing individual objects, such as doors, windows, furniture, or decor items, clicking Material Editor on the floating action bar launches an immersive 3D styling studio.
Changing an Item/Model’s Texture & Color #
The Advanced Materials editor allows you to manipulate individual component layer aesthetics, textures, and physical material finishes of furnishings and fixtures.
Identify Active Components and Layers
When a complex 3D model (like a bed) is loaded into the interface, it is broken down by its structural material properties.
Look at the top-center Materials badge to see how many independent layers or components were found on the model (e.g., 4 layers found).
The right-hand panel displays the specific Layer Property name currently selected for adjustment (e.g., Fabric, Wood, Metal).
Pick Your Styling Path (Textures vs. Colors)
Use the left-hand Appearance sidebar to select your design style:
Textures Tab: Click to apply physical textures like natural grain woods, soft woven fabrics, or polished stones to the active component layer.
Colors Tab: Open the advanced Solid Color Picker palette. You can manually drag your cursor across the color gradient box, use the rainbow hue bar, or input precise R / G / B values to apply an exact brand color matching your design palette.
Review the Model Bounding Dimensions
The right-hand panel features a read-only Default Size card that displays the absolute scale boundaries of the object as it sits in your room layout. Use this as a reference point to ensure your textures match its scale:
Width / Depth: Displays the horizontal footprint dimensions of the model.
Height / Altitude: Tracks the model’s physical vertical height and its clear height elevation off the floor plan.
Adjust Advanced Surface Properties
Fine-tune how light interacts with your applied texture or paint by adjusting the sliders in the right panel:
Texture Intensity: Controls the prominence and visual depth pop of the underlying pattern grain.
Transparency: Adjusts the alpha-opacity of the layer (set to 100% for solid, opaque objects, or lower for glass window panes and sheer fabrics).
Ref reflectivity: Determines how much environmental light bounces off the asset surface (e.g., set to higher values for glossy finishes, mirrors, or polished metals).
Surface Finish: Fine-tunes the tactile look of the material, sliding between a soft matte finish and a highly polished sheen.
Save Your Changes
Reset: Reverts the asset’s layers back to their baseline import properties.
Save Changes: Click the green button to apply the new textures, finishes, and colors directly to the model instance inside your master design file.
