Arrange and pin up

Auto-arrange pulls related spaces together and pushes conflicts apart. Export an A3 board for your crit.

Eight styles

Looks like your studio, not like software.

Same diagram, eight hands. Switch any time — exports always match the screen.

Clean
Soft colors on white. A safe default for any board.
Trace
Marker on trace paper. Looks like a desk crit sketch.
Blueprint
White linework on cyanotype blue, with a drafting grid.
Swiss
Bold black and white with one red. Graphic and confident.
Riso
Risograph overprint: fluorescent inks, slightly off-register.
Graphite
Pencil linework with hatched zones, like a section drawing.
Kraft
Paper cut-outs on chipboard. A model-making feel.
Midnight
Dark and luminous. Made for presenting on a screen.

Your key, your rules

Required, preferred, avoid… and whatever your tutor asks for.

Add relationship types like visual link, acoustic separation or service access. Give each one a name, a matrix symbol and a line, and decide whether it pulls spaces together or pushes them apart when arranging. The legend on your board follows along.
