How to Add Polygons, Lines, Circles, Rectangles and Image Overlays on a Proxi Map

Navigate to the desired map in Proxy.

In the left or top map styling area, select Map Style.

Click Shapes and Overlays to access shape and overlay tools.

Use this section whenever you need to add custom map elements.

Choose Polygon as the shape type.

Click on the map to place each point of the polygon.

Continue clicking until the shape is complete.

Edit the shape as needed after placing the points.

After creating a shape, open the settings below the shape tools.

Adjust the default style for future shapes.

Update the following properties as needed:

Apply consistent styling when creating multiple shapes.

Select Line from the shape options.

Click on the map to define the line path.

Use lines to highlight routes, race paths, or other directional boundaries.

Adjust the line placement until it matches the intended route.

Use polygons to outline larger areas such as:

Click points around the area to create the boundary.

Refine the shape so it accurately represents the intended region.

Select Circle from the shape options.

Identify the center point on the map.

Set the circle radius to represent the desired distance.

Use the circle to show locations within a specific range, such as one mile from a center point.

Confirm the radius and diameter display correctly while adjusting.

Select Rectangle from the shape options.

Draw the rectangle on the map and adjust its size.

Use rectangles for layouts such as:

Resize until the shape matches the intended dimensions.

Import a shape if it already exists outside Proxy.

Click any created shape to edit its appearance.

Modify the following properties individually for each shape if needed:

Use unique styling to distinguish different map elements.

Select an existing shape that needs to be repeated.

Click Duplicate to create a copy.

Move the duplicated shape into the correct position.

Repeat duplication for repeated items such as:

Verify each duplicate is placed accurately.

Select Add Image Overlay to place an image on the map.

Use image overlays like stickers, logos, or decorative graphics.

Rotate the overlay as needed.

Adjust opacity to make the overlay more or less visible.

Position the image so it enhances the map without blocking important details.

Ensure shapes are placed accurately before finalizing styling or duplication.

Avoid using overly opaque fills or overlays that may obscure map details.

Confirm that imported shapes match the map scale and intended boundaries.

When duplicating shapes, verify each copy is moved to the correct location.

Delete any unwanted shapes or overlays to keep the map clean and readable.

Set default shape styling first if you plan to create multiple shapes with the same look.

Use duplication for repeated elements instead of recreating each shape manually.

Use polygons for irregular boundaries and rectangles/circles for standardized layouts.

Keep overlays subtle by lowering opacity when they are decorative rather than informational.

Review the map after each addition to catch placement or styling issues early.
