Visual Work Zones with Construction Layers and Estimate Integration

As a remodeling contractor, I would like Magicplan to support visual work zones and partial wall selection.
Currently, estimates can only be assigned to entire rooms or walls. In real remodeling projects, work is often performed only on specific sections, such as shower walls, backsplash areas, repair zones, waterproofing areas, or tile installation areas.
Requested functionality:
• Select a specific portion of a wall, floor, or ceiling.
• Create visual work zones directly on the floor plan.
• Highlight selected areas with colored outlines and transparent fills.
• Assign estimate items directly to those selected areas.
• Automatically show those highlighted areas in estimates, reports, and PDF exports.
Construction layers should be supported within each selected area:
* Demolition
* Framing
* Plumbing
* Electrical
* Drywall
* Waterproofing
* Tile Installation
* Painting
* Finish Work
Suggested color coding:
Red = Demolition
Blue = Waterproofing
Green = Drywall
Orange = Tile
Purple = Plumbing
Yellow = Electrical
Example:
For a bathroom remodel, I could select only the shower walls and assign demolition, waterproofing, and tile installation to those exact wall sections. The selected areas would remain visually highlighted on the floor plan and linked directly to estimate items.
This would significantly improve estimating accuracy, project planning, client communication, subcontractor coordination, and scope-of-work documentation for remodeling contractors.

Potential future enhancement:
Allow users to click any highlighted work zone and instantly view:
* Scope of work
* Materials
* Labor tasks
* Estimate line items
* Project phase
This would effectively transform the floor plan into an interactive project management and estimating tool.
