Have a paper, PDF, or scanned floor plan? Import the image, trace over it, and you've got an accurate, editable, 3D-ready version.

Step by step

1
Open Use Floor Plan Image
From the Create New or Select Floor Plan window, choose the Use Floor Plan Image tile ("Trace over scanned floor plan").
Start from the Use Floor Plan Image tile — "Trace over scanned floor plan."
2
Upload your floor-plan image
Drag and drop a JPG, PNG, or WEBP file — or click to browse. Paper plans? Photograph them with your phone first.
3
Rotate if needed
Use the rotate buttons (0/90/180/270°) to orient the image so north is up.
4
Calibrate scale
Click two points on the image whose real distance you know — typically a wall segment with a labeled dimension. Enter the real distance. The tool calculates the scale.
5
Trace the exterior
Click each corner of the room perimeter, clockwise. 90° snap is on by default; Shift to disable for diagonals. Click your start to close.
6
Add interior walls and features
Switch to Interior mode and click pairs of points along interior walls. Then Features mode for doors, windows, and stairs — tap a wall to focus, then click to place.
7
Review and create
Preview the result; tweak wall lengths in the Review step if needed. Click Create Design — the floor plan loads in the editor, ready to furnish.

Pick two points as far apart as possible — small errors in clicking are amplified less over a longer distance.

Most floor plans are right-angled. Leave 90° snap on; toggle off only for genuine diagonals.

JPG, PNG, WEBP. PDFs need to be converted to image first.

Within ±1% if calibration is done carefully. The image is the source of truth; the trace just digitizes it.

Draw it, furnish it, walk through it in 3D — on web, iOS, and Android.
