# Drawing & Editing Corridors

## Drawing corridors

<details>

<summary>Is the corridor generated automatically or manually?</summary>

The corridor is drawn manually at the start of your workflow, giving you full control over its position and path. We are working on automations that will allow you to generate an optimised corridor as a starting point in future updates.

</details>

<details>

<summary>What is the default corridor width?</summary>

The default corridor width is 1.5m (60in), which meets most accessibility standards for wheelchair use.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Is the corridor legally compliant?</summary>

The default corridor width of 1.5m (60in) is considered the standard width for two wheelchairs to pass next to each other. This is designed to meet common accessibility requirements out of the box, though specific compliance depends on your local regulations.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Can I have different corridor widths on the same floor?</summary>

Yes. You can draw multiple corridor segments on the same floor, each with its own width. Use the corridor editor to add any corridor you would like and generate on it. Once done, save the file to have that corridor available at all times.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Can I draw non-linear or organic corridors?</summary>

Yes. Create several segments of a corridor and connect the end points to each other. This lets you build curved, angled, or organic circulation paths rather than being limited to a single straight line.

</details>

## Editing corridors before generation

<details>

<summary>Can I edit the corridor before generating a floor?</summary>

Yes. Enter Circulation edit mode from the floor page and customise the position, length, and width of each corridor.

</details>

<details>

<summary>How can I change the corridor width?</summary>

In Circulation edit mode, click, hold, and drag the circle at the middle of the corridor line. Drag inwards to make the corridor narrower, outwards to make it wider. The number displayed indicates the current width in metres or inches.

</details>

<details>

<summary>How can I make the corridor longer or shorter?</summary>

Click, hold, and drag the blue circles at the endpoints of a corridor line. This adjusts the length and positioning of the corridor.

</details>

<details>

<summary>How can I move the corridor?</summary>

In Circulation edit mode, click and hold the corridor line you want to move, then drag it to the new position.

</details>

<details>

<summary>How can I delete a corridor?</summary>

In Circulation edit mode, double click on the corridor you want to delete. It will be removed from the layout.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Can I undo the deletion or moving of a corridor?</summary>

Yes. Use the Undo button on the top bar, or press Ctrl+Z on your keyboard to reverse the change.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Can I create more than one corridor option?</summary>

Yes. Create one corridor option, save the resulting layout as a favourite, then create a different corridor version, generate again, and save that as a separate favourite. You can then compare your saved options side by side.

## Editing corridors after generation

<details>

<summary>Can I edit corridors after a floor plan has been generated?</summary>

Yes. With Editable Corridors, you can move, adjust, and refine corridors at any point in your design after generation. The layout automatically regenerates around the updated corridor so you do not need to start again from scratch.

**Video guide:** [laiout - Editable Corridors](https://youtu.be/JY5Z4NJ4TXk)

</details>

<details>

<summary>How do I move a corridor on a generated floor?</summary>

Click and hold the corridor you want to move, then drag it to the new position. When you release the click, the corridor drops into place and the layout regenerates around it automatically.

**Video guide:** [laiout - Editable Corridors](https://youtu.be/JY5Z4NJ4TXk)

</details>

<details>

<summary>Does the layout regenerate automatically when I move a corridor?</summary>

Yes. As soon as you release the corridor in its new position, the layout adjusts around it automatically. There is no need to trigger regeneration manually, and you can see the changes update live as you work.

</details>

<details>

<summary>What happens to zones adjacent to a moved corridor?</summary>

Adjacent zones adapt to the new corridor position. Smaller rooms may disappear if there is no longer enough space for them, and some zones may merge with neighbours. You will see these changes happen live as you move the corridor, so you can decide whether to keep the new position or undo it.

**Video guide:** [laiout - Editable Corridors](https://youtu.be/JY5Z4NJ4TXk)

</details>

<details>

<summary>What are the minimum corridor width constraints?</summary>

The minimum corridor width is 1m. You can set any width above this threshold to suit your accessibility requirements and space plan.

**Video guide:** [laiout - Editable Corridors](https://youtu.be/JY5Z4NJ4TXk)

</details>

<details>

<summary>Does Editable Corridors work in both Pro and Lite mode?</summary>

Yes. Editable Corridors is available in both Pro and Lite modes, so you can refine circulation on any floor plan regardless of the upload mode used.

</details>

<details>

<summary>In Multi Tenancy mode, how do I set up corridors?</summary>

Corridors are set up in Circulation edit mode first. Enter Circulation edit mode from the floor page, adjust your corridors as needed, save your file, then enter Multi Tenancy mode to work with tenancy splits.
