Background Settings

Onuma has the capability of enabling users to place a image in the background to aide in the process of developing schemes and sites. For example, on the building level you could:

1. Upload an image background
2. Use this background image to fit a building floor and spaces
3. Turn off the background image and just view the Floor Plan
