Move around the canvas
Pan, zoom, and return to the part of your plan you want to work on.
On this page
The canvas is the center of your Klora plan. You can move across a large property, zoom in for precise drawing, and return to the full plan without changing the design itself.
Pan with a mouse or trackpad
Scroll to move across the canvas. Hold Shift while scrolling to move horizontally.
You can also hold Space and drag. Space-and-drag works even while a drawing tool is active, then returns you to that tool when you release the key.
A middle-button drag also pans the canvas.
Zoom in or out
Hold Command on a Mac or Ctrl on Windows and scroll to zoom at the pointer. A trackpad pinch uses the same zoom behavior.
You can also use the minus, percentage, and plus controls in the lower-left corner of the canvas.
Return to a useful view
Open the percentage menu in the zoom controls to fit the plan to the window or return to actual size.
The keyboard shortcuts are:
- Command + 0 or Ctrl + 0 to zoom to fit
- Command + 1 or Ctrl + 1 for actual size
- Command + + or Ctrl + + to zoom in
- Command + - or Ctrl + - to zoom out
Rotate the plan
Turning the view can make a lot that sits at an angle easier to draw along. Rotation changes only what you see. The design, its coordinates, and the north setting on the Site panel stay as they are.
Hold Option on a Mac or Alt on Windows and scroll to turn the plan around the pointer. The percentage menu in the zoom controls also has Rotate left, Rotate right, and Reset rotation, which turn the plan in 15° steps.
The keyboard shortcuts are:
- Shift + Command + Left or Shift + Ctrl + Left to rotate left
- Shift + Command + Right or Shift + Ctrl + Right to rotate right
- Shift + Command + Up or Shift + Ctrl + Up to reset
While the plan is turned, a small compass appears next to the zoom controls. Its needle points to true north, which combines the view rotation with the north setting from the Site panel, and the number beside it is the current turn. Click the compass to put the plan back the way it was. Zoom to fit keeps the rotation.
On a phone or tablet, use two fingers to move around the plan and pinch to zoom. A two-finger gesture controls the camera rather than the shape beneath it.
Twist two fingers to rotate the plan. The plan turns once your fingers are travelling around each other rather than apart, so a pinch to zoom stays level even though the angle between your fingers changes as they spread. The plan settles on a quarter turn when you get close to one. Tap the compass next to the zoom controls to reset.
Navigate while drawing
You do not need to abandon a shape to inspect another part of the plan. Hold Space and drag to pan, then continue drawing when you release it.
If the current shape is wrong, press Backspace to remove its latest point. Press Esc to cancel the current drawing and return to Select.
On touch devices, use the visible Undo control to remove the latest point while drawing.
Scrolling moves the plan instead of zooming
Bare scrolling pans the canvas. Hold Command or Ctrl while scrolling, pinch on a trackpad, or use the zoom controls.
The plan disappeared
Use zoom to fit from the percentage menu, or press Command + 0 on a Mac or Ctrl + 0 on Windows.
The plan is sideways or upside down
The view has been rotated. Click the compass next to the zoom controls, or choose Reset rotation from the percentage menu.
Dragging the empty canvas selects plants
An ordinary drag on empty canvas starts a selection box. Scroll, hold Space and drag, or use a middle-button drag when you want to pan.
