Released June 3, 2025

Summary

This version adds full control over item colors, as well as usability improvements.

Features

Custom and fill color capability for all items!

Color picker

Select an item and tap the new color button to open the new color picker.

• Choose whether you want to edit Stroke or Fill (which is available for any items with a closed inner area)

• Use the box to choose a color for the selected hue; use the sliders to choose the hue and opacity

• Enter a hex color or RGB values

• Tap a saved “swatch” to apply that color, or press-and-hold the swatch to save the current color in that spot

  • Swatch collections are saved per-Project

Improvements

• With a diagram open, press the S key to “search” for items to add (it opens the Add Item sidebar and focuses the search field so you can start typing)

• Searching for items now includes “keywords” that we’ve supplied. These aren’t visible, but might help you find things more easily.

  • Example: there are no items named “flag,” but if you search for it, you’ll get all of the “solids” that aren’t frames

• Removed the CMD key for nudging items on the diagram, and also removed their obeying the snap setting

  • Now, using arrows by themselves moves in small increments, and Shift arrows moves in large ones

  • To rotate an item, hold Option (or Alt) and use the left and right arrows

• Made it easier to select and move Fixtures, and not focus them by mistake

• Hiding a DMX address for a Fixture does not remove its value, so it can be hidden temporarily

Released May 28, 2025

Summary

This version adds native “floor planning” features to Scenario Diagrams.

Features

Floor planning adds a new section to the Add Item sidebar, called “Floor Plan.” This will allow you to add:

Room

A pre-made Group containing a Wall with a Door and Window connected to it.

Wall

Multi-point line that represents the walls of your set.

• Select the whole Wall, individual segments, or individual points

• Make changes by adding, moving, and deleting points or segments

• Doors and Windows can be “connected” to Walls if Snap is enabled, so when the Wall moves, connected items move with it

Door

• Move along a connected Wall

• Change with by dragging its control points or entering a new size in the Details sidebar

• Change the “swing direction” by cycling through the four options

• Change the number of doors in the Details sidebar

Window, Gap

• Move, rotate, resize, and connect to Walls just like a Door

Stairs, Rectangle, Ellipse

• Free-resize using the four corner points

• Stairs display the “up” direction; set the number of treads in the Details sidebar

Bug Fixes

• Searching in the Add Item list would show an 18” Solid even when it didn’t match the search

v1.1.1

Improvements:

• Displays “add segment” button when an endpoint is selected

• Control points on selected Wall segments can be dragged

• Connected Window, Door, and Gap items size correctly when copy/pasted

Text size

• Choose the size of an item’s text label, from five options

• When editing the text, Shift Enter creates a new line

Snap alignment

Toggle the “snap” feature on and off with the new button, or using the N key

  • Items that scale (like pipes) will do so by the same increments

Marquee selection
