The floorplan: draw, place and move from above, with snapping and live readouts.
Plan toolbar

- Marks letter themselves A, B, C.
- Text (Shift+T)
- A text label on the plan.
- Light meter (X)
- A probe that reads footcandles or lux from every enabled fixture.

- A double-click or a right-click finishes it.
- Everything else
- Walls, openings and everything you place are in the Add tab.
