Place

Project a drawing onto a real surface at true scale, so it can be marked directly.

Place sends the drawing to a projector or AirPlay display at a calibrated physical scale. Use it to trace or mark the drawing on a surface.

How to use

  1. Switch to Place and connect a display — a projector on a USB-C hub or adapter, or an AirPlay receiver.
  2. Leave Output on Calibration, aim the projector, and measure the width of the projected image edge to edge. Enter that width so Space knows the physical scale.
  3. Use Align Projection to square the image to the surface when the projector is not straight on.
  4. Switch Output to Drawing to project the work itself. The canvas locks so a stray touch cannot shift what is already aligned.

Tips

  • Use Place for full-size templates, wall layouts, lettering, and other work that is easier to mark directly on the surface.
  • Invert Output when projecting onto a dark or textured surface.
  • Recheck calibration if the projector or receiving surface moves.
