<summary>Can I place furniture on balconies and terraces?</summary>

Yes. Balconies and terraces are identified as external zones during the upload and cleaning stage, either automatically or by you. Once identified, you can place furniture on them just like any internal zone. There are no hard restrictions on furniture type, though outdoor-suitable items are recommended for realistic planning. This functionality works in both Pro and Lite mode.

<details>

<summary>Why do furniture and doors now stay unassigned until I deselect them?</summary>

Furniture and doors now stay unassigned until you deselect them. Previously, they were automatically assigned to the nearest zone the moment they were placed. This change gives you more control during placement, letting you freely position items that span multiple zones or sit in transitional areas without being prematurely locked to a specific zone. The item is assigned to the appropriate zone once you click away or confirm the placement.

<details>

<summary>How do AutoDimensions work when moving objects?</summary>

AutoDimensions show dynamic dimension lines when an object is selected, displaying distances to nearby walls and other objects. The lines update in real-time as you move the object, helping you maintain clearances and align elements precisely. AutoDimensions apply to most placeable objects including furniture, doors, and partition walls. You can toggle AutoDimensions on or off at any time.
