Drawing & measuring
Rooms, walls, exact dimensions, doors, windows, floors and checks.
Guides
- Draw a floor plan: outside walls first, then roomsThe fastest way to an accurate plan: outline the building, divide it into rooms with live distances, then cut, split and join walls as you refine it.
- Draw rooms and wallsDraw rectangles, L- and U-shapes, free-form rooms and individual walls, with snapping and clean wall joins.
- Dimensions and unitsEvery length format we accept, how bare numbers are interpreted, and why 12 ft 6 in always stays exactly 12 ft 6 in.
- Doors and windowsPick from 80+ ready-made doors, windows, openings and niches, then fine-tune style, shape, leaf design, grilles, glass, sidelights, transoms, colours and swing.
- Multiple floors, stairs and roofsAdd floors with their own heights, copy walls between floors, place stairs and put a roof on top.
- Clearance checks and collisionsHow the issues panel finds overlapping furniture, blocked door swings and tight walkways — and why it's guidance, not a compliance check.
- Add a roof: gable, hip, shed or flatPut a roof on any floor in one click. It follows the outside of your walls; set the pitch in degrees or as rise/run (6/12), the overhang, ridge direction and roofing.
- Curved wallsBend any wall into a true circular arc by dragging its curve handle or typing a radius or how far it bows. Areas, lengths, doors and windows all follow the curve.
- Niches: recesses in a wallAdd a niche (a shelf nook or shower niche) that is cut into one face of a wall without going through it. Set its width, height, height above the floor and depth.
- Open to below: stairwells and double-height spacesMark a room on an upper floor as open to the floor below. It has no floor, shows a dashed cross on the plan, and is left out of floor-area totals and flooring estimates.
- Ceilings: flat, sloped or openGive each room a flat ceiling at any height, a sloped ceiling rising in a direction you choose, or no ceiling at all. See them in 3D and get the room's volume.
- Elevations and sectionsSee every side of your home as a measured elevation, and cut named sections (A–A, B–B) anywhere through the building. Both are drawn from your model and update as you edit.
