Patio Wizard

Draw the closed shape in the main editor first, then choose Patio in the Hardscape Add panel. Select the prepared outline when the canvas asks for it. With one compatible shape already selected, the wizard can open directly. The wizard opens a full-window workspace with a preview; it does not ask you to draw inside an inspector sidebar.

Use Elevation for the offered raised-patio settings. Length values follow the project unit system. Inspect the relationship to the surrounding ground in the preview.

In Pattern, set Width, Height and Grout/Gap Width, then select an offered pattern. Herringbone requires a compatible 2:1 paver ratio; the warning explains when the current size is unsuitable. Use Pattern Rotation to turn the layout, and Pattern Offset, Offset X and Offset Y to shift the joints without moving the patio.

Tile Surface offers Solid Color or Material texture. Use Browse Materials to choose a catalog material, or clear the material to use color. The preview shows the current selection.

Use Border for the perimeter band and its appearance. Use Accents for the offered inlay rows and their settings. Review each band in the preview; avoid widths that leave no usable paving field.

Use Back and Next to inspect the wizard settings and preview. Correct any validation message before applying. Apply on the final step creates or updates the object; Cancel leaves without applying the current wizard draft.

Select the placed object to use the Inspector’s available editing controls. Whole-object wizard settings and individual Structure editor member edits are different operations. Reapplying a wizard can ask how to handle existing member edits; read that choice before confirming. In the Structure editor, Done keeps member edits and Cancel attempts to undo available changes back to entry.
