0:00Draw a sheeting run

Choose Enclosure, then Sheeting, and select Polythene. Drag across the plan to draw a run. Select the new sheet to open the controls for that individual item.

0:12Set length and height

Open Position and size. Enter the run length and height in millimetres. This example uses a length of five thousand four hundred and a height of two thousand seven hundred.

0:25Choose the appearance

Open Appearance and style. Choose a polythene colour, then adjust Opacity to control how transparent the sheet looks. Colour and opacity are separate settings, so review both for the result you want.

0:38View the sheet in context

Switch to 3D to see the upright sheeting alongside the room. You can return to Selected to refine its position, rotation or dimensions as the drawing develops.
