Adding Frames to your Canvas allows you to group objects together. Rather than having to select individual images, product cards, drawings, etc.., placing a Frame around all of them allows you to easily select, move, and export these elements as a group.
Frames can help you organize your Canvas. Frames will automatically be named in the order they are created on the Canvas. You can use Frames to define areas of your Canvas for designing and presenting, to develop layouts to export as images or PDFs, or to create presentation standards that you can turn into a digital look-book or catalog to easily share product specifications or project details. Our Templates show different ways for you to use frames to organize your Canvas.
In this example, the Canvas template has a Sandlot for ideation and product curation, a Presentation section with Frames used to build out the presentation format, and Instructions for how to export and share.
This template uses larger Frames in the portrait-orientation to organize by location or typicals by area. The frame has a rendered view, products, furniture layout, and architectural finishes layout. A template like this could be used for a presentation, a specification or look book, installation package or product catalog.
Easily add different product views, like the product card or drawing views, in your Frames. The example below could be exported to create a PDF product catalog or act as a digital product catalog with immediate access to all of the product details and drawings.
This template uses Frames to organize the details of a project with a frame showing a space plan, concept, selected products, color story and materials & finishes. Each frame can be exported and combined to form a presentation.
You can easily export any Frame to a PDF, JPEG, PNG, DWG, and DXF file to insert into an existing presentation template (like PowerPoint, InDesign or Figma), to combine into a PDF package or binder for reference or distribution, or to print.
