   An updated tutorial on how to create a plan in Bonsai in 20mins

   It's come a long way! and at this point it can be done in 7mins without recording and explaining,

   A few things that would be great to include with this in the future are background patterns (floor patterns) which don't work reliably at the moment and room colours (something I'm sure we can figure out a workaround for)

   Any questions or suggestions, please ask away

   How do you do these background patterns right now?

   Do you also mean creating a drawing underlay with external styles etc?

   Hi @jes_r

   It is found here:

   

   You can read the issue here:

   Underlay definitely works and so do external styles but it adds imo for this tutorial too much complexity to the process, its a good workaround for now though.
