From fonts and colours to assets and overlays, let’s explore the key areas you can personalize.

Fonts: Maintain Consistency Across Projects

Brand identity often extends to typography, and Cadasio allows you to control which fonts are available within your projects. You can easily add any Google Font to your font library, ensuring consistency across all your documentation.

Beyond font selection, maintaining uniform sizing across steps and projects is also important. Font sizes in Cadasio are defined using multipliers of a base size. For example, if you need headings to be twice as large as the default text, simply set a multiplier of 2. Once configured, selecting the correct font and size for labels, annotations, and other text elements becomes effortless.

Colours: Create a Custom Colour Palette

Colours play a crucial role in branding, and Cadasio allows you to define and store commonly used colours in a custom library. Instead of repeatedly entering specific colour values, you can save your preferred colors for easy access.

Adding a new colour is simple—just select one from the colour picker or enter a HEX, RGB, or HSL value. Once saved, your custom palette is available throughout Cadasio, including in the designer, overlay builder, and layouts.

Assets: Upload & Manage Your Media Library

Assets such as images, audio files, videos, and 3D models help bring your projects to life. While Cadasio provides a pre-populated library of assets, you can also upload your own to personalize your projects further.

For example, you might want to add your company logo to overlays or upload frequently used images for use in the designer. To add an asset:

  1. Navigate to Library > Assets in the dashboard.
  2. Click the plus icon and either drag and drop your file or browse to upload it.
  3. Assign a name and optional tags for better organization.

Once uploaded, your assets will be available across all Cadasio projects.

Toolbox: Build a Collection of Custom Elements

Cadasio’s toolbox allows you to create and save reusable 2D and 3D elements, reducing repetitive work and improving efficiency. While every user starts with a default toolbox, you can expand it by adding new items or building a fully customized toolbox tailored to your workflow.

For example, if you frequently use a specific text style and image combination, you can save it as a custom toolbox item:

  1. Create the element in the designer.
  2. With the item selected, go to the property bar and select Toolbox > Create New Toolbox Item.
  3. Add it to an existing toolbox or create a new one.

Now, your custom item is readily available for future projects, ensuring consistency without the need to recreate elements manually.

Overlays: Design Reusable Templates

Overlays help maintain a consistent user experience across projects. These reusable templates can include essential UI elements such as:

  • Navigation tools
  • Progress bars
  • Toggle buttons
  • Branding elements like logos and watermarks

To manage overlays, go to Library > Overlays in the dashboard. You can either create new overlays from scratch or customize the default templates. Once finalized, overlays can be applied to any project through the Project Settings > Viewer tab.

Progress Spinner: Customize the Loading Animation

When loading a project in Cadasio, users will see an animated progress spinner. By default, this spinner features the Cadasio logo, but you can change it under Settings > Customization.

Options include:

  • Choosing from a range of animated spinners
  • Uploading an image from your asset library

This small but impactful customization enhances branding and user experience.

Custom Domains: Publish Under Your Own Brand

By default, Cadasio projects are published using links that direct users to instructions.online. However, you can configure your settings to use a custom domain, reinforcing your brand identity.

To set up a custom domain:

  1. Navigate to Settings > Customization in the dashboard.
  2. Follow the step-by-step process to obtain CNAME values.
  3. Add these values to your DNS provider.

Once configured, all published links will feature your domain instead of Cadasio’s.

Why Customize Cadasio?

Customizing Cadasio makes creating presentations faster, enhances brand consistency, and improves the overall user experience. Whether you’re adjusting fonts, saving commonly used assets, or applying branded overlays, these customization options help you work more efficiently.
