Add Course Elements

Course Elements are visual objects you place on the Canvas to represent natural features and course markers. They appear on your Tee Signs, Info Board, and Caddie Book.

Course Elements are accessed from the bottom toolbar. Click the tree icon to open the element picker.

Placing a Course Element:

1. Click the Course Element type you want (e.g. Tree) from the bottom toolbar
2. A placement popup appears: "Adding Tree — Click, place. Ctrl+scroll scale."
3. Click anywhere on the Canvas to place the element at that GPS location
4. Ctrl+scroll to resize the element before placing
5. Use the Random button to randomize both the size and rotation of each placed element — this makes a group of trees look more natural rather than identical
6. Continue clicking to place more of the same element, or select a different type from the toolbar

Course Elements: Tree, Bush, Rock, Drop Zone, Next Tee Arrow, Distance Marker, Practice Tee, Practice Target. Some elements (such as Drop Zone, Next Tee Arrow, and Distance Marker) are related to a specific hole — select the hole first before placing them.

Location Markers: Parking, Info Board, Toilet, Water Point, Medical Services, Trash Bin.

Other: Text, Rectangle, Bridge, Stairs, Pole.

Poles

The Pole element is a small physical marker shown from above as a colored dot. Use it for OB stakes, lamp posts, bollards, sign posts, or fence corners — anything where you want a single point on the map with a configurable color. Pick the color from the inspector once it's placed.

Rectangles, bridges, and stairs

Rectangle, Bridge, and Stairs are all rectangular shapes you can resize and rotate freely. Each derives its accent shading from the color you pick, so you only need to choose one base color per object.

• Rectangle — plain colored rectangle. Use for benches, raised platforms, or any generic rectangular feature.
• Bridge — colored deck with darker railings along the long edges. The deck surface stays whatever color you pick; only the rails are auto-shaded.
• Stairs — equal-width bands separated by a thin nosing and hairline, sized in real-world metres so a wider object adds more steps rather than stretching them.

For Bridge and Stairs, the pattern stays locked to the object's local long axis — resizing through a square aspect ratio won't flip it. Rotate the object to change orientation.

Practice areas

Practice Tee and Practice Target are visual copies of a regular Tee and Target that are not attached to any Hole. Use them to mark warmup areas, practice targets, and driving range targets on the Course map.

They render the same as their Hole counterparts, but they have no distance calculation, do not appear on any Tee Sign's hole list, and are not part of any Layout. Place them anywhere on the Canvas — no hole selection required.
