Baseboard
Insert → Table… creates the board the layout sits on. For a plan meant to be built later, it is the first item: it tells you how much space is really there.
Four shapes
At the top of the dialog, four shapes are available: Rectangle, L shape, U shape, and O shape. They are the same as for the Rectangle drawing tool.
The dimensions
The box — the length and width everything fits inside — comes from the frame you drag out in the plan, or change at the handles. Within this box, the remaining fields describe the individual runs:
| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Left run, Right run | Width of the two side runs |
| Bottom run, Top run | Depth of the two cross runs |
| Left leg length, Right leg length | how far a side run extends, only for the U shape |
| Height | the thickness of the board |
Changing it later
The baseboard stays adjustable for as long as it exists: select it, click it again, and the same fields appear again. The shape can be changed here just as it can when creating it.
The baseboard is a path
That is why it can do what paths can: carry a line color and a fill color, sit on its own layer, and be included when printing or not. The height turns the outline into a solid.
