How to Create Shop Drawings in Mozaik – Phill Anton Consulting

Q: Where is the Multi-Print tool in Mozaik?

It's under File > Print > Multi-Print. That opens a dedicated drawing platform where you arrange your plan, elevations, and 3D views onto pages.

Q: How do I make my wall elevations line up evenly?

Lasso the elevations to select them, right-click, choose Align, and align them at the bottom. This evens up the wall bottoms for a cleaner, more professional sheet.

To create shop drawings in Mozaik, save the 3D views you want from your finished design, then open the Multi-Print platform (File > Print > Multi-Print) and drag your plan, elevations, and saved 3D views onto pages you name yourself. Scale and align everything cleanly, add notes and symbols, then save and print to PDF to send to your customer.

Shop drawings are how you turn a finished Mozaik design into a clean, professional document a customer can actually read and approve. The good news: once your kitchen (or any room) is designed, Mozaik already has everything it needs — you're just arranging it onto pages.

This guide follows Mozaik's official walkthrough. Watch the original on Mozaik's channel:

Step 1: Start from a finished design

Before you draw anything, you need a completed room. In the example, the design is a kitchen with three walls — two with cabinets and appliances, plus a peninsula wall — viewed in elevation. Everything that shows up on your shop drawings comes from this design, so get it right first.

Step 2: Save the 3D views you want to show

Customers love seeing the room in 3D, so capture a couple of angles before you build the drawing.

Open the 3D view: select View Room in 3D (in the example, this is the third icon from the top on the right-hand toolbar).
Use the orbit tool to spin the model around, or the hand/pan tool to slide it — each works independently.
Frame a perspective view you like, then use the Save feature and name it (the video uses names like "kitchen 3D 1").
Move the model to a second angle, save again, and give it a second name ("kitchen 3D 2").

The point: each saved view becomes something you can drop straight into your shop drawing later. Save as many angles as you want to show.

Tip from the video: you can clean up your project at the same time. Open the menu (the three-bars icon), select a view or room you no longer need (for example, a test room), and delete it.

Step 3: Open the Multi-Print platform

This is where the actual drawing gets built.

Go to File > Print > Multi-Print.
This opens the Multi-Print drawing platform, with a toolbar of tools for highlighting and detailing your drawings.
Click the blue question mark to open Mozaik's help docs for Multi-Print — handy if you want the full list of options while you work.

On the left, under Drawings, you'll find the different parts of your project you can pull in (plans, elevations, and your saved 3D views).

Step 4: Place your floor plan on the first page

Under Drawings, click the plus sign next to Plans.
Highlight your room (the kitchen) and drag and drop it onto the drawing platform.

How to reposition a drawing

There are two ways to move a placed drawing:

Node drag: highlight the drawing, then left-click and hold on one of its corner nodes to drag it.
Move tool: select the Move tool from the top toolbar, then drag the drawing where you want it. Important: after using the Move tool, switch back to the Select tool right away so you don't stay stuck in move mode.

Set the scale

Down on the lower right, set the scale for the drawing. Then highlight the plan, grab a node, and center it on the page.

Step 5: Name your pages

Default pages come in as "Untitled page." Naming them keeps the drawing set organized.

Open the menu (three bars) and select the Untitled page title.
Click the pencil and rename it — for example, "Floor Plan."
The page title updates so you (and your customer) can tell pages apart.

Step 6: Add an elevations page

Drop the page menu down and Add a page; name it "Elevations."
On the left, click the plus sign and drag in your wall elevations one at a time — Wall 1, Wall 2, Wall 3.

They'll land out of position at first — that's normal. Reposition each one. If you can't fit all the elevations on the page, adjust the scale for that room until they fit.

Align elevations for a professional look

To make the wall bottoms line up perfectly:

Lasso the drawings you want to line up (the nodes show they're all selected).
Right-click one and choose Align, then align at the bottom.

Now the bottoms of the walls are exactly even — a small touch that makes the whole sheet look more professional.

Step 7: Add your 3D views

This is where the views you saved in Step 2 pay off.

Add a page and name it "3D Views."
On the left, select Live 3D View.
Go into the room where you saved your views — both saved angles (e.g., "3D 1" and "3D 2") come in.
They'll be small at first. Hover over a corner until it turns light blue, then drag to expand the view larger.

If you want each angle on its own page, put one expanded view on the first 3D page, then Add a page ("3D View 2") and bring in the second saved view, expanded out.

Step 8: Finish, save, and send

At this point you've built a real shop drawing set. To finish it off:

Add notes and symbols to call out details for the customer.
Save the drawing.
Print to PDF and email it to your customer.

That's the whole workflow: design the room, save the 3D angles, arrange plan + elevations + 3D views onto named and scaled pages, clean it up, and send the PDF.

FAQ

Where is the Multi-Print tool in Mozaik?

It's under File > Print > Multi-Print. That opens a dedicated drawing platform where you arrange your plan, elevations, and 3D views onto pages.

How do I get 3D views into my shop drawing?

Save the 3D angles you want first (open the 3D view, frame it with the orbit/pan tools, and use Save with a name). Then in Multi-Print, add a page, choose Live 3D View, go into the room where you saved them, and expand each view by dragging a corner node.

Why won't my drawing move when I try to drag it?

Highlight the drawing first, then left-click and hold on one of its corner nodes to drag — clicking the body alone won't move it. Alternatively, use the Move tool from the toolbar, then switch back to the Select tool immediately so you don't stay in move mode.

How do I make my wall elevations line up evenly?

Lasso the elevations to select them, right-click, choose Align, and align them at the bottom. This evens up the wall bottoms for a cleaner, more professional sheet.
