New to RoomSketch3D? This is the complete tour, from blank canvas to a furnished room you can walk through in 3D — in a few minutes.

Five steps cover it: draw the room, add wall fixtures, furnish it, run Smart Flow Check, and switch to 3D.

Step by step

  1. 1

    Draw the room

    From your dashboard, click New Design. Choose Rectangle for a standard four-wall room (or Custom shapes for L-shapes and irregular outlines). Enter width and length, name the design, pick units, set ceiling height. Click Create Room.

  2. 2

    Add doors, windows, and stairs

    Open the Build Panel (left rail). Click Door, then click the wall where the door goes. Repeat for windows, openings, fireplaces, and stairs. Set width and (for hinged doors) hinge side and swing direction in the Inspector.

  3. 3

    Furnish the space

    Open the Furnish Panel (right rail). Pick a room type tab (Living Room, Bedroom, etc.). Click a furniture tile to place; drag to position. Use the Inspector to rotate (90° steps or exact angle), resize, or duplicate.

  4. 4

    Run Smart Flow Check

    It's always on — the Flow Check badge in the toolbar shows warnings as you place furniture. Address them as they appear: tight walkways, door swing blocks, recliner clearance.

  5. 5

    Switch to 3D

    Click the 3D View button in the top toolbar. Orbit with mouse-drag (or one-finger drag on mobile); pinch or scroll to zoom. Click any room beacon to fast-travel between rooms. Try walk mode (W/A/S/D + mouse on desktop, on-screen joystick on mobile).

Tips

Save effort with a template

If your room is roughly standard, start from a furnished template (Living Room, Kitchen, Bedroom presets) instead of building from scratch.

Don't fight Smart Flow Check

When a warning appears, it's flagging a real problem (door swing into a sofa, walkway under 30 inches). Fix it now, not later.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to design a room?

5–15 minutes for a single room you're already familiar with. 30–60 minutes for a full apartment with multiple rooms.
