Paint

Using the paint feature allows you to mark up your Background Layer or Activity Layer and add any additional drawn elements to your SpaceDraft. These drawn elements are simply visual and can’t be used as pins. The Background Layer is underneath the Activity Layer (the layer with pins and movement), and your paint will appear accordingly. For example, if you paint in the Background Layer, the paint will appear underneath your pins in the Activity Layer.

To open the paint feature:

1. Open the Background Layer or Activity Layer in a scene.
2. Click on the icon and then the paint options will be available for you to use.
