Load & Restore
Use Current Project reads the current configurator Project List without changing the cart. Once a project is loaded, Sync Current Project refreshes it without rearranging surviving Visualiser items.
New configurator items are added to Unplaced Items; existing items keep their position, rotation and placed/unplaced state. When new items are found, a success message explains where they were added and includes View Unplaced Items to jump straight to them. Items removed from the configurator are removed from the Visualiser.
The Visualiser also saves the current project and arrangement automatically in this browser, so a normal page refresh can restore your work. Use Clear Visualiser / Start Fresh when you want to discard that Visualiser-only saved state and begin with a fresh import.
Canvas Controls
Canvas Width / Height sets the visible elevation size in millimetres. Snap controls movement increments: smaller values give finer positioning; larger values make quick layouts easier.
Show labels toggles front descriptions. Auto Arrange lays out all currently placed fronts automatically. Reset Arrangement returns the project to its loaded arrangement. Clear Visualiser / Start Fresh removes the loaded/synced Visualiser project and its saved browser layout for this project, without changing the Configurator Project List, cart or order data.
Select & Move
Tap/click a front or its row to select one item. Drag the selected front to move it. On desktop or with a pen, click and drag from empty canvas space to draw a selection box; every placed item touched by the box is selected. Ctrl/Cmd/Shift-drag adds to the current selection.
The movement, rotation, alignment and spacing controls stay visible above the canvas on the right. Controls enable only when they apply: Move/Rotate/Remove with 1+ selected, Align with 2+, and H/V Space with 3+. Arrow buttons nudge by the active Snap amount. Touch: long-press a canvas item for about half a second to enter Multi-Select Mode. The held item stays selected; tap other items to add/remove them, or drag a selected item to move the selected group. Tap empty canvas or use Clear to leave Multi-Select Mode. Row checkboxes and Select All remain available.
Drawer Sets
Drawer Sets are shown as one linked Visualiser item so the complete stack can be moved, selected, aligned, rotated, placed or unplaced together.
The individual drawer-front heights remain inside the group and remain separate production parts in the Sydney Doors project. Grouping in the Visualiser does not merge the ordered drawer fronts.
Drawer Set measurements show the individual ordered front heights and shared width. Any small spacing drawn between fronts is a visual guide only; the actual installed gap is determined by the customer or installer and may vary.
Align & Distribute
The toolbar is always visible. With fewer than 2 selected items, alignment buttons remain visible but disabled. With 2 or more selected fronts, Left, H Centre, Right, Top, V Centre and Bottom become available.
With fewer than 3 selected items, spacing buttons remain disabled. With 3 or more selected fronts, H Space and V Space create equal gaps while keeping the two outermost fronts anchored.
Rotate
Rotate 90° rotates one or many selected fronts on the canvas for visual placement only. Rotated items still retain their original ordered Height × Width and configuration.
Important: rotation never changes pricing, hinge settings, product configuration, cart or order data.
Placed & Unplaced Items
Remove from Canvas moves selected fronts to Unplaced Items; it does not delete them from the project or order. New products found during Sync Current Project also enter this section so your existing elevation stays unchanged.
Tap/click an item under Unplaced Items to place it back on the canvas. Its previous Visualiser position and rotation are retained where possible. After a sync adds new items, use the popup's View Unplaced Items action to jump directly here.
Saving Your Work
Automatic browser save keeps the Visualiser arrangement on this browser/device. Product data is always reloaded from the live Sydney Doors Project List rather than from an external project file.
Project Integrity
The current Sydney Doors Project List is delivered to the Visualiser as a renderer-safe signed payload. The Visualiser verifies that signed product data before loading or syncing it.
Only fields required to reproduce the visual item are included. Renderer-required hinge positions remain available so hinge cups can be drawn accurately; unrelated production and pricing internals are not sent.
Print / PDF
Print / PDF prepares the current placed elevation without the Visualiser controls or sidebar. In the browser print window, choose Save as PDF to create a PDF.
Only items currently placed on the canvas are included. Labels appear when Show labels is enabled.

What the Visualiser Does Not Change
The Visualiser is a display and layout aid. Moving, rotating, aligning, distributing, placing or unplacing items does not change ordered dimensions, quantities, product configuration, pricing, hinge details, cart contents or order details.
It is also not an installation drawing. Always use verified site measurements and installation requirements separately.
