How to add a Product from our library

This article will show you how to easily add a Product from our library and toggle between the various views available with our Products.

Add a Product to your Canvas

  • Open your Canvas or create a New Canvas.

  • You can search through our Products library by clicking on the My Catalog icon in the bottom right corner of Canvas.

  • You can enter a query in the search or Filter by product Category (such as Accessories, Seating, or Tables), Condition, Buy Price, Lead Time, Manufacturer, Vendor (we have over 100 unique brands!), Tag, or pull your search from your Collections. Play around with the different search options to see what works for you.

  • You can then Sort your search by Price, Lead Time, Manufacturer, and Name.

  • Double click any product image in the search to see the full product details and all its data.

NOTE: For those with a Pro, Studio or Enterprise account, you can filter for products saved in your My Catalog and your Collections.

  • Drag & drop the product into your Canvas.

  • To bring in more than one product at once, click the checkboxes in the upper left hand corners of each product. Once you have checked all the boxes, simply drag and drop the products onto your Canvas.

    • While you are dragging, a grey "ghost" of your products will hover above your Canvas. Drop them into the Canvas when you are ready to place them.

Pick your Product View

Each product in our library has three different views available: a scaled 2D vector drawing, the product image and the detailed product card. When you place a product into your Canvas, you can easily toggle between these views.

Need all three? Copy the image so you can space plan with the scaled drawing, create a rendering with the product image or use the detailed product card to show furniture specs.

  • First, add a product from our Products Library into your Canvas. The default view is the Card view with product specs. You can customize the data fields you see by clicking on the Gear icon. You can view all the data of the product by right clicking and choosing View Product Details (cmd + I).

  • Select the first icon for the scaled 2d vector product Drawing and the middle icon for the product Image.

Rotate the Product

You can rotate images and drawings of products anytime within Canvas. Rotating in any direction and angle keeps the original scale of the drawing accurate.

  • Click to select the drawing or image.

  • Hover your cursor over any corner of the selection.

  • A curved arrow will appear.

  • Click and hold as you rotate the drawing - the angled degrees will pop up as you rotate in either direction.
