Print areas

Print areas allow you to define zones on the map that will be used as background maps for deliverables.

These zones determine the geographical extent that will be used when generating project documents.

Three types of print areas can be defined:

• Free proportions
• Portrait
• Landscape

Each type corresponds to a framing format adapted to the documents that will be generated.

To create a print area:

1. select the desired area type
2. draw the area directly on the plan

TILOS 360 then asks you to assign a name to this area.

Once created, the area appears in the Plans and Phases tab within the list of plans.

It is possible to rotate a print area in order to optimize the orientation of the background map in the generated deliverables.

To rotate an area:

1. select the print area
2. move the cursor over the red point
3. click and rotate the area while holding the mouse button

This feature allows you to precisely adjust the orientation of the generated documents.
