📄️ Selecting objects
Before you can manipulate the properties of your objects (such as the size, shape, position or rotation) you must first tell RapidPlan which item or items you want to change. You do this, by selecting your desired object(s). Sometimes you will need to select only one object,
📄️ Features accessed by selecting an object
Once you have selected your object, a number of new tools become available. Its important that you understand what each tool does as you will come to rely upon them heavily.

📄️ Resizing objects
There will almost always be two different ways of resizing an object in RapidPlan. It is important to understand the difference between the two methods, and when to use each.
📄️ Setting custom scale and rotation points
Resizing and rotating objects can be enhanced by changing the point they scale from or rotate around.
📄️ Moving, flipping and rotating objects
Moving Objects
📄️ Custom symbols
Custom symbols let you replace selected built-in symbols with your own reusable graphics.
📄️ Grouping objects
One of the most important techniques to master is grouping. By grouping objects together, you can manipulate them as one item. Grouping is also necessary if you wish to create and save your own signs. You can group any of the RapidPlan elements together and the technique is the same, regardless of which elements you choose to group.
📄️ Duplicating objects and styles
RapidPlan has made it simple to duplicate objects and/or an items property onto another item.
📄️ Cropping objects
Crop images and other objects to any desired shape, edit individual points and segments in existing crop geometries.
