The Wall Boundary Type setting can be used to control where the zone is placed relative to the walls:

Custom Assembly Area Icons

Assembly Areas now support custom icons, allowing you to have different kinds of assembly areas within a plan.

• For example, "Staff Assembly Area" or "Muster Point".
• You can add custom AA icons in the new "Assembly Areas" section within icon libraries.

Once added, you can then configure custom icons for each assembly area in your plan, if desired.

There's a new "Primaries and Secondaries" evac path style for site plans.

• When selected, evac paths on siteplans will show as primaries/secondaries based on nav mesh rules, just like floorplans.
• We've also renamed the two other path styles to better describe their behaviour.

You can now apply different themes to floorplans and siteplans within the same diagram.

• When editing diagram templates, there's a new Theme Library Mode setting.
• This defaults to Shared, but can be changed to Separated to allow you to have different theme libraries for floorplans and siteplans.
