Who It’s For: Project admin

Prerequisites: Access to the Plan Viewer and sufficient permissions to manage Drilldown links

TABLE OF CONTENTS

1. What is a Drilldown Button?

A Drilldown is an interactive icon placed on a drawing that links to another drawing. It allows you to “drill down” from one layout or section to a more detailed or related drawing, such as linking a floor plan to a room layout.

2. How to Add a Drilldown

Open the drawing in Plan Viewer.
Click the Add (+) button at the bottom right corner.
Select Drilldown (this option only appears if you have permission).
Drag the drilldown to change its position, OK to confirm.
Select the Linked Drawing you want to associate.
Click OK to confirm.

3. CHOOSE to Add Drilldowns in One Go

If you want to add multiple Drilldowns quickly:

After opening the drawing, click the Add (+) button and select Drilldown.
In the dialog, click CHOOSE.
A list of all drawings in the project will be displayed.
Select a drawing and place the Drilldown on the current drawing.
The next drawing in the list will appear — continue placing Drilldowns as needed.
Click Cancel to finish the process.

This feature allows you to add multiple Drilldowns in a single flow, improving efficiency when linking multiple drawings.

4. How to Edit a Drilldown

Long press on the existing Drilldown button.
A dialog box will appear in the top left corner.
Click the three-dot icon (︙) in the dialog.
A menu will appear with options:
- Edit: Change the linked drawing.
- Move: Reposition the button on the drawing.
- Delete: Remove the Drilldown from the drawing.

5. Tips & Reminders

Drilldown options only appear for users with edit permissions.
Be mindful of the placement to avoid overlapping with important drawing content.
Use meaningful linkages to improve navigation efficiency for your team.

6. FAQs & Troubleshooting

A: You likely don’t have permission to add Drilldowns. Please contact your project or company admin.

Q: Can I link a drawing to multiple Drilldowns?

A: Yes. One drawing can be linked from multiple other drawings via separate Drilldowns.

Q: Can I adjust the icon or appearance of the Drilldown button?

A: No, the Drilldown button style is fixed and cannot be customized. Its size and icon are standardized to ensure consistent user experience across all drawings.
