Hi


I was thinking of using the program and going away from Visio which is just too cumbersome. 


I work most in small to medium business and need to create floor plans to put devices on.  Most of the time I cannot get an electronic floor plan quickly.  Does anyone have a workflow they would share with Lucid for this?


I have found floor plan pictures by fire escapes took a picture of them then use them as a background to trace walls over top.  Can I do that with Lucid?  Is there a better way?


I have tried many of the room scan apps but I spend more time changing input than just drawing it by hand... I think these work fine for homes and such but not so much for a business.  


Thanks for any/all help.
