Resize Boxes

Select a single box to reveal resize handles. Drag the W, D, or H handles to adjust width, depth, and height. Or type exact values in the Properties panel.

Tip: Hold Alt while dragging to disable grid snapping.

Colors & Opacity

Select a box and click any color swatch in the Properties panel. Use the opacity slider to create transparent, glass-like effects.

Tip: Set color before adding a box using the toolbar dropdown.

Shadows

Each box can have its own shadow. Toggle shadows globally with the Shadow button, or customize per-box in Properties: adjust opacity for darkness and height for offset.

Groups

Select multiple boxes and click + Group to create a visual group. Customize the group's border style, padding, and fill color in Properties.

Tip: Groups are great for showing related components together.

Layers Panel

View all boxes on the left. Click to select, drag to reorder (top = front), hover for visibility/lock controls. Double-click names to rename.

Alignment Tools

Select 2+ boxes to see alignment options. Align boxes relative to the first selected, or distribute them evenly.

Exporting

Export as SVG (vector, scalable) or PNG (raster, with transparency). Choose 2x or higher for crisp images. Toggle "Include grid" if needed.

Tip: SVG is best for web and editing; PNG is best for presentations.

Hover over the layer in the Layers panel and click the eye icon. Hidden boxes won't appear in exports.

How do I prevent moving a box?

Click the Fit button in the top-right zoom controls to reset zoom and centering.

What's the difference between SVG and PNG?

SVG is a vector format—infinitely scalable, editable in design tools. PNG is a raster format with transparency, better for presentations and social media.
