📄️ Creating your own signs
RapidPlan can create new signs from inside the application. Basic users may only need to create signs for a plan, while advanced users may need different versions of each sign with sign codes, multiple color schemes, and other variations.
📄️ What is a sign made of?
Before we launch into creating a sign, it's important to understand what the signs are actually made of. Every sign inside RapidPlan has been built up from basic items in the Tools palette (from the Shapes, Lines and Text tabs). Most sign faces are a Rounded Rectangle, the text is a Text object and irregular shapes are made out of filled Polygons, Filled Beziers, Ellipses and Rectangles. The items are then grouped and saved.
📄️ Creating your sign
You should now have a good understanding of what is inside a RapidPlan sign file, so now we can go ahead and make one.
📄️ Creating variations of your sign
Creating variations for your custom sign is made very simple using the Sign Editor Palette in RapidPlan.
📄️ Editing existing signs
You also have the option of editing the signs that are shipped with RapidPlan. Generally speaking, this isn't going to be necessary, but in some instances people do feel the need to make an alteration.
