Jetbot Drawings can be used to create rack elevations for your project based on the items in your project.

In Settings>Drawings, you'll have the ability to choose the top to bottom sequence of equipment within racks, as well as the color for each equipment type.

Blank/Vent can be assigned a color, but since those panels are distributed as needed, you can't define the top to bottom sequence preference.

You can also select the option to cluster system equipment together (breaking from the above sequence), when possible.

In order for Jetbot to create a drawing of a rack elevation, the room in your project needs to include a rack and rack equipment. If a room does not have a physical rack listed in the Builder, Jetbot cannot draw the rack for that room. If you happen to be using a rack that already exists on-site, you can add it to your project as a custom item marked OFE so Jetbot can use it.

To start, click on the Drawings tab within your project to open the Jetbot Drawings page, and then click "+Add Drawing".

In the window that pops up, you'll give your drawing a name, select Rack Elevation, and select which Room(s) you'd like to include.

You'll also have the ability to enter notes and special requests that should be accounted for when creating the drawing, though this is not required to begin. Once all information is entered as desired, click "Create", and Jetbot will begin creating your drawing.

Jetbot will create your drawing of the rack equipment within the rack, displaying the item label on the left and the make/model on the right of each device.

Currently, Jetbot will load the equipment into the rack from the bottom up, based on the sequence specified in your company settings. You can click on any of the items to drag and drop them into a different position in the rack.

If you have a rack that is much larger than the amount of equipment you have, you can add blank panels to your project to fill out the rack, and Jetbot will distribute the equipment accordingly. If you do leave the rack open with no panels, then Jetbot will cluster everything at the bottom of the rack.

Please keep in mind that any items (like blank panels) that you want to add to your drawing, need to be added into the Builder in order to be incorporated in the drawing.

Drawings can be viewed using zoom, pan, and scroll shortcuts with your mouse wheel or trackpad. Jetbot should be able to sense what type of device you're on, but you can also set this selection manually by clicking the icons on the top menu bar.

Jetbot will remember and automatically retain your selection when you go in and out of various drawings.

If using a desktop computer with a mouse, select the mouse icon. You can zoom in and out by scrolling the mouse wheel over any area of the drawing.

If you're using a laptop, select the trackpad icon. You can use two-finger actions to pan around different areas of the drawing, or pinch and expand to zoom in or out.

Depending on your specific device, a specialty trackpad or mouse may function differently on the opposite setting, so be sure to check it out to find out what works best for you!

After your drawing has been rendered, you may want to have a few adjustments or edits made. You can do this by clicking the "Modify" button along the top of the drawing.

In the window that pops up, add additional notes and information to better direct Jetbot to your desired outcome.

You can continue to modify your drawing using these notes as many times as needed.

It is also possible to make manual adjustments to your drawing rather than using the Modify function.

To move an item, click on it and drag it within the rack to the desired position.

Any changes you make can be undone by clicking the Undo or Redo buttons along the top.

Once you're satisfied with your edits, click the Save button to save your changes.

Please note: Saving manual edits to your drawing will disable the ability for Jetbot to modify the drawing. This limitation is temporary while we continue to work on improving this feature, but for now, please keep this in mind when saving manual changes.

When you are satisfied with your results, the drawing can be marked as the Final Version. This will let Jetbot know that you are happy with the drawing and this configuration will be referenced when creating other drawings.

All drawings can be saved as a DWG, PDF, be sent directly to the Files tab of your project, or be emailed to your client.

While the drawings feature is in beta and not yet completed, we appreciate your help testing it out! Please report all of your findings and comments to us by clicking the "Report" button along the top of the drawing.

In the window that pops up, you can enter notes to send to our team. Let us know if you are seeing irregularities or discrepancies with the drawings you've created, or just to share positive experiences where Jetbot exceeds your expectations.

We are working hard to supply Jetbot with information for every item in the database, and most items are already included! However, there may still occasionally be a few items with which Jetbot is not familiar (like custom items you've created), and you may receive this message:

Jetbot will work to research these new items in the background, and they will be added to the knowledge base for future use. While this is happening, you can continue working in other areas of your project, and you'll receive an email and a Radar notification once the drawing is ready.

We hope that helps! Please reach out to Support Chat with any questions!
