From a sketch to a 3D floor plan

The sketch from the viewing is the most common source of all – and the one least often digitised, because the effort seems too great. It is not scanned but redrawn, and that is faster than it sounds: a room is a box you pull out. Four rooms are four boxes.

Drawing in rooms, not in walls

The Room tool pulls out a box and makes four walls that meet exactly. The second room beside it shares its wall with the first – no double walls, no gaps. The dimensions read live beside the box as you drag, rounded to a 5 cm grid, so the sketch becomes 4.00 × 3.50 m and not 3.98 × 3.52.

Corners are joined: drag one and both walls follow; drag a side and the room grows instead of tearing open. Doors and windows go on a wall with one click. If you prefer to draw wall by wall you still can – the Room tool is the fast route, not the only one.

From box to floor plan

Rooms find themselves from the walls: as soon as four walls close, the room is there, with its area. You give it a name and a type; the type drives colour, furnishing and – with an area standard selected – the counting factor. The plan check lists open wall ends, rooms without a door and rooms without a type before you export.

The 3D view

One switch and the plan stands as a dollhouse: walls with height, doors as openings, furniture if placed. Turn it, zoom, choose the angle – and take exactly that angle into the listing PDF as a second page, or export it as a GLB model that portals and 3D viewers open. The 3D view is computed from the same geometry as the 2D plan; what you change in 2D is in 3D at once.

  • Pull out all rooms first, then place doors and windows
  • Set room types before furnishing – furnishing follows them
  • For the listing, choose the 3D angle that shows the entrance and the main room

Frequently asked questions

Do I need CAD skills?

No. Pull out rooms, click doors, done. The editor handles corners, wall thickness and room detection.

What is the GLB file for?

For 3D viewers, websites and portals that show 3D models. It is an open standard format.

Can I import the sketch as a photo instead of redrawing it?

Yes, if it is clean and complete. For a rough hand sketch, redrawing is usually faster and more accurate than recognition.
