### Working in the constructor
In the center of the editor, there is a **workspace — the 2D model of the equipment being created**, where equipment elements should be placed.

On the left is the elements panel divided into three groups:
* Bases (rectangle, trapezoid);
* Main elements (shelf, hangbar, hooks, box, etc.);
* Auxiliary elements (back wall, side walls, perforation, etc.).

To create equipment, hold down the desired base (**Rectangle** or **Trapezium**) with the left mouse button and drag it to the work area. Then place the **main and auxiliary elements**.

To configure element parameters:
1. Select it and click **"Set up"** on the toolbar;
2. For the base, the **"Base set up"** panel will open, where you can set the following parameters:
* Length;
* Height;
* Depth;
* Round the base;
* Make the base active.

||| Important! If the base has rounding, only the "Central upright" element can be placed on it.

3. For the hook wall, the **"Hooks wall configurations"** panel will open, where you can set the following parameters:
* Height;
* Depth;
* Automated filling by hooks — enable to configure:
* Distance between hooks;
* Distance between rows of hooks;
* Distance from upper side of hook wall to hooks;
* Distance from left side of hook wall to hooks.
4. For the angle shelf, the **"Setting angled shelves"** panel will open, where you can set the following parameters:
* Length;
* Height;
* Depth;
* Angle of inclination;
* Make the shelf active.
5. For the beveled box, the **"Beveled box configurations"** panel will open, where you can set the following parameters:
* Length;
* Depth;
* Wall thickness;
* Front wall height;
* Back wall height.

The parameters of any other equipment element can also be changed through **"Set up"** on the toolbar.

After finishing work with the equipment, click **"Save"** at the top of the page.

3. **Workspace scale** — increase or decrease the scale using the scaling tool.

|| Note! The workspace scale can be changed using keyboard shortcuts:
**Ctrl + / Ctrl − (Windows)** or **Command + / Command − (macOS)**.
Other available keyboard shortcuts:
**Ctrl + Z (Windows) / Command + Z (macOS)** — undo last action;
**Ctrl + Shift + Z (Windows) / Command + Shift + Z (macOS)** — redo undone action;

### Information about equipment panel
The **"Information about equipment"** panel allows you to quickly view the main equipment data, its components and the planograms where it is used.
