Floorplan guides
for every stage.
Learn to measure, draw, review and share a floorplan. Follow a worked room or house example, then use the same geometry for free electrical layouts, room-by-room heating calculations and insulation comparisons. Choose the guide for your next decision.
Floorplan essentials
New to drawing a floorplan? Follow these four steps in order. Already working on a project? Jump straight to the measurement, drawing, review or export task you need.
How to measure a room for a floorplan
Record wall lengths, openings and heights, reconcile a dimension chain, and flag uncertainty before drawing a measured floorplan.

Create a 3D floorplan from a 2D plan
Build a measured 2D outline, review it in 3D and keep an editable backup. Learn what each view can—and cannot—tell you.

Review a floorplan before a project
Check circulation, door swings, furniture use and drawing status. Prepare a clearer floorplan brief for clients, colleagues or your designer.

Save, export and share a floorplan clearly
Choose between an editable project and PDF, PNG or JPG exports. Keep backups, label revisions and check a plan before sharing it.
Read guideRoom & house examples
See how the essentials work together. Start with one measured room, then move to a connected house plan with shared walls, openings and routes between spaces.
Make a useful room floor plan
Work through a measured bedroom, separate furniture fit from space to use it, and keep an editable plan alongside your exports.

Map a connected house layout
Move from separate room sketches to a connected house plan, with shared-wall checks, a worked dimension chain and a practical handover.
Read the walkthroughHome upgrades
Once the room layout is clear, compare insulation first: changes to the building fabric affect heating demand. Then explore heating options and coordinate electrical points with the proposed furniture and equipment.
Energy & Insulation Planner
Compare U-values, insulation thickness and thermal upgrades before planning your heating.
Explore the retrofit workflow
Free Heating Layout Planner
Use the same room geometry for heat loss, radiator sizing and editable underfloor-heating layouts.
Explore floorplan-based heating
Free electrical layout maker
Plan sockets, switches and lighting, draw connection relationships and prepare a clearer electrician brief. Electrical Layout is included in the free tier.
