Areas
The list of rows. Each row is a floor or a border with its own settings. Selecting a row shows its rollouts.
Rows are labelled with the object name and the pattern (the pattern only in the modifier). Border rows are marked [B], disabled rows [off]. One object can hold several floors, each in its own plane.

| Control | Description |
|---|---|
| Pick Area (object only) | Adds closed splines or surfaces clicked in the viewport. Stays active until right-click. A mesh is used as the outline of its faces, holes included. |
| Add Border Pro | Adds a border row inside the selected row's outline, with the width set in Borders › Band Width. Settings are copied from the innermost border, or from the field. |
| Remove | Removes the selected row. In the modifier the first row cannot be removed. |
| Move Up / Move Down Pro | Moves a border outward or inward. The bands swap widths; the outer and inner edges stay in place. |
| Enabled | Turns the row on or off. A disabled row keeps its settings and its band, which stays empty. |
| Show gizmo (object only) | Shows the object icon. Turned off when the first area is picked. |
| Planner… Pro | Opens the Planner for this object. |
The modifier's Areas rollout also has Tile every surface, Mitre corners and Smooth, see Tile every surface.
Every row has the same rollouts: Pattern, Properties, Board Randomization, Grout, Borders, General, Material IDs, Mapping. A border is a row with a band width set in Borders.
Free edition: one row. Add Border, Move and the Planner require Pro. Scenes with borders open in Free with the field only.
