Background (3D- Bottom) : The image color of the bottom side of the 3D worksheet is adjusted.
Automatic save Autosave : It is used by the program to take an automatic backup of the project at a specified interval. To activate the process, check the "Auto save" line and enter a value in minutes in the interval. The project will be saved to disk automatically during operation. Project backups will be saved in the folder where the main file is located.
Draw the column axesaxis : The color of the line indicating the wall drawing line, the column major direction and the drawing line of the beams is set. If the option is selected, this line is shown in the plan. If not checked, it will not be displayed.
Backup while saving Work with backups (* .bak ): It is used for the program to automatically create a backup of the previous version of the saved project during the recording process. By activating the option, you create a copy of the previous version of the project with bak extension during the project registration process. If you think that your work at the time you saved the project is incorrect, you can access the previous unsaved project by opening the ".bak" file.
To open the bak file,
Click the Project File/Open line in the classic menu and the ideCAD logo icon / Open line in the ribbon menu .
Select the "Backed up projects Backup files (* .bak)" option from the File types line.
Click the OK button.
The backup file will be opened.

Show menu with Use right button for context menu: If this option is selected, the right menu opens when the right mouse button is pressed. Point the mouse over any object. Click the right mouse button. A list of the most used commands for that object will open. So you don't waste time sliding the mouse over menus and icons every time. When you right-click an empty place in the drawing area, you can access a list of independent commands such as zoom operations. If the option is not selected, the right mouse button will work as a command repeat. While drawing, if you press the right mouse button while holding down the Ctrl key, you will make the opposite work according to the function of this option. For example, let the option be checked. While drawing the Ctrl key while you press the right mouse button, the command repeat works.
Apply settings to all drawing windows: If you want the settings you made for the objects in the drawing window you are working in to apply to other windows that are currently open, check the text.

Show node points nodes: Makes node points appear in the plan or not. If checked, nodes are visible in the plan and not visible if not marked.
Radius: In case the node points are shown, the setting of the diameter visible in the plan is made on this line. Its unit is pixel.
Color: In case the node points are shown, the color shown in the plan is selected.
Selected color : When the joints of the selected object are shown, the color shown in the plan is selected.
Capture Snap Sensitivity:
DN Jump Node snap factor: During the DN (Node) selection, it is adjusted how far the click action can be made. If the mouse cursor is around the DN jump factor while near the node, you can select the node by clicking the left button. When the cursor is placed over the joint, the shape of the cursor changes. In this case, the joint point can be chosen (its unit is pixel).
Selection Snap distance: During the object selection, the distance to be clicked is adjusted. If the mouse pointer is around the object's selection distance setting, you can select the object. The value entered here also affects the difficulty / ease of selection (its unit is pixel).
Crash Snap Settings:
Lock Snap to grid: Used for the cursor to catch the intersection points of the grid lines. Mark the line for locking possibility.
Lock DN Snap to nodes: Used for the cursor to jump (catch) nodes. Check the locking facility line.
Snap to grid as nodal pointnodes: Check if you want the cursor to capture the grid points while in object mode.

General geometry check : Mark for automatic general geometry check. It is recommended to keep the line marked in order to avoid possible errors (geometric errors) that may be encountered while drawing.
Write the horizontal dimensions of the columns and walls Draw horizontal size of column & shearwall dimensions first: When this option is selected, the dimension of the column and curtain dimensions parallel to the x axis is written first in the places where column and curtain names such as formwork, column application, report are written. For example, let's define a column that is 25 vertical and 60 cm horizontal. We can define the program possibilities as we want by rotating this column. When this option is checked, the column dimensions will be written as 25/60, regardless of how the definition is made. If the option is not selected, the column dimensions will be written as they were created during the definition.
