Drawing Tools

The Landchecker toolbar features various drawing tools that allow you to measure and annotate a property or land area from your desktop.

If you’re an architect or town planner, you can use the drawing tools to create site plans or conduct thorough feasibility analyses seamlessly.

Real estate agents, property developers, and legal professionals can use the drawing tools to conduct due diligence on a property or potential development site, drawing property boundaries straight on the Landchecker map.

On the right-hand side panel, you can use any of the following tools:

Text Label Tool - used to add annotations or labels on a property

Distance Tool - used to measure the length of a property or land area

Any Shape Tool - used to measure irregularly shaped objects with multiple points

Rectangle Tool - used to measure regularly shaped objects like pools or draw perfect right-angle shapes

Circle Tool - used to measure the area, radius and diameter of a property

After drawing a shape or adding text on the map, there are several ways to change their display attributes. Customers on the Advanced or Enterprise plan can customise the shapes via the Tools panel in the following manner:

Colour and opacity - of the fill and stroke of shapes

Rename - any shape to your chosen name

Display - toggle on/off the line length and area

Reorder - click and drag the shapes to reorder

Units - you can set the measurement unit to any of the following:

Metre (m/m²)

Kilometre (km/km²)

Feet (ft/ft²)

Yard (yd/yd²)

Miles (mi/mi²)

Nano Miles (nmi/nmi²)

Meanwhile, all members with a paid plan can delete and show/hide shapes. They can also access the Tools Settings to remove the bounding box. Check out our help article, which outlines the steps with screenshots for ease of reference.
