Make it easy to understand
Clearly present the layout of rooms, walls, doors, and circulation paths.
Present Essential Information
- Visualize rooms: See the exterior and interior walls along with room names. These automatically appear in the surface area table. Apply pre-set options depending on room type. For instance, a garage is classified as an annex space.
- Display measurements: Dimensions and surface areas are automatically shown on each 2D floor plan. You can hide, show, or add measurements manually as needed.
- Identify openings: Windows and doors added to the project appear in the 2D floor plan, complete with orientation, opening direction, and even shutter type.
Create Floor Plans in 2D
- Add symbols: Insert symbols manually or add them automatically by checking the “display associated symbol” box when you insert a 3D product in the furnishings tab. Customize each symbol’s size and color.
- Use colors: Apply background colors to quickly distinguish spaces such as bathrooms, terraces, or kitchens.
- Insert a compass rose: Indicate the house orientation. Choose whether or not to display it on each level.
- Annotate floor plans: Add text, lines, or shapes to call attention to key elements.
Use the 2D Plans
- Access plans: Each project includes a folder with all levels stored together.
- Download scaled plans: Export professional plans in PDF or DXF format and adjust resolution as needed.
- Present your projects: Insert your plans into client-ready presentation documents. They automatically update whenever the layout changes.
