Swatch boards

Swatch boards.

A swatch board lays a project’s pictures out together. Boards are under Specify, Swatch boards; the example hotel has six.

The quickest start is an area’s own page. New swatch board lays out every picture in that area, in one click.

Here’s the lobby, laid out.

Any item on the project with a picture can join it. Pick one on the right, here the guestroom carpet, and its swatch lands on the board.

Below them, From the library adds a product the project doesn’t have yet. It becomes an item in this room, and its swatch is placed.

Drag to arrange, and drag a corner to resize. Hide keeps a swatch off the board without losing it.

Turn the labels on or off, set the board’s size, and Save board.

PDF downloads it as a one-page sheet to send yourself, and Print prints it.

Each swatch comes with its item number and name.

Under each board, the team talks it over in comments, and mentions bring a colleague in.

Boards stay with your team. If you’d like your client to see one, switch on Show to the client. It’s entirely optional.

A board you show, your client sees on their project, to look at, not change. The comments stay inside the firm.
