Distance in line direction |
In order to define the direction of the line, hover the mouse over an edge of the desired angle. A red line will show from the snap point mirroring this edge, left click to confirm and a dialogue box will ask for the distance. Press OK to confirm. |

Intersection of a line |
Click a line and then a second to create a snap point where the two lines would intersect. Lines do not need to be crossing. This snap point shows where the bottom of the windowsill would meet the wall. |
