Updated November 2026: the drawing tools now sit in the toolbar at the top right of the map (Edit, Add Labels, Draw Lines, Draw Area and the 2D/3D Pitch Toggle), and areas can be given a height so they show as blocks in 3D. We’ve added the current steps below.
Have you been wondering what it feels like to do your designs and add some personal touches on it? Like adding some labels and marking your maps to have easy access to those properties? Sounds simple and less hassle, right?
It’s definitely a YES with Stash v3! We know that you’ve been waiting for this and we understand how useful this feature is. That’s why we strived hard and pushed our limits to add this just for you – our valued customers!

- Save or delete some presets that can be used for future references and research

How to draw and view your design in 3D today
- Go to the site. Search for the property or move the map there and zoom in close. An aerial basemap, such as Satellite, makes tracing easier.
- Click Draw Area in the toolbar at the top right of the map. Click each corner on the map, then double-click to finish. The box shows Distance (m), Distance Total (m) and Area (m²) as you draw.
- Set the attributes. Add a Label, choose a Color, set a Height [m] and the Opacity, then click Save. Use Draw Lines for roads or distances and Add Labels for landmarks.
- Switch to 3D. Click the 3D button (Pitch Toggle). Areas with a height show as blocks, a quick way to picture building bulk on a site. Hold Command (Mac) or Ctrl (Windows) and drag to rotate, and click 2D to go back.
- Save a preset for styles you reuse: click the … button next to Preset and choose Save preset.
Your drawings are saved to your account and show through the My Drawings overlay in Layers. The drawing toolbar is available in Stash in your web browser, not the mobile app. See Use the drawing tool, Switch between 2D and 3D view and Measure area.
Your feedback means a lot to us that’s why we tried our best in including this on our platform to help you more with your projects and property search journey.
Along with the updates we’ve made, we’ve also considered our not so tech-savvy customers and made sure that they’ll be able to follow through with all our newly added features.
