Dial in units, credentials, and defaults once per project so every sheet, dimension, and AI render behaves the same way. Settings is also where the recovery tools live if a project ever needs a reset.
Open Settings
Click settings in the top bar of Paper. The panel opens with a section list on the left; click a section to jump to it.
Display
Freeze scene: freeze every tile's render so it stops following model changes, or keep tiles live.
Capture full model: capture the whole model into frozen tiles in one action.
Levels: render each level of a building as its own mesh (Split), or as one solid extrusion (Solid).
Live tables: choose whether tables built with Data chat auto-refresh as the model changes, or stay frozen at insert time. See Data Chat in Paper.
Dimension unit: millimetres, metres, or feet and inches.
Datum offset (m) and RL abbreviation: control how reduced levels read across the project. See Annotations in Paper.
Credentials
Pick the AI credentials Paper uses for rendering and for Data chat.
Nano Banana / Gemini: used by AI Reimagine. See AI Rendering in Paper.
Anthropic / Claude: used by Data chat. See Data Chat in Paper.
Each credential also has a personal API token field underneath it, for pasting your own key instead of using a shared project credential.
Typography
Set the report font used across Paper's own drawing elements, like title blocks, tables, and level markers. Pick a registered font, or add one from a project attachment.
This is separate from the font options in the tldraw style panel, which only apply to freeform text shapes. See Text in Paper.
Save & restore
Download your layout as a file, or load a downloaded file back in. See Download Paper Sheets as a PDF for the full walkthrough.
Advanced
Diagnostics, geometry sources, and cache resets. You shouldn't need these day to day.
GLTF load status, and a button to load or reload the model's GLTF.
Reload from saved state: re-fetch and reapply the layout saved to this Giraffe project.
Load from attachment…: load a layout from a specific project attachment.
Import geom…: import geometry from a project attachment.
Register usages: register the usage presets Paper's annotation tools need in Giraffe.
Upsample 3D tiles: run every 3D view tile through AI Reimagine's de-pixelate preset. See AI Rendering in Paper.
🚨 Warning: Reset to default, Clear local cache, and Clear local storage are destructive. Reset to default deletes your layout and rebuilds the default sheets, and also overwrites the layout saved to Giraffe. Download a backup first if you want to keep anything.
