Rotate or flip your whole floor plan
Plan Settings → Rotation turns the whole plan on screen in 15° steps; Reset puts it back. The two flip buttons next to them mirror everything. Same place on a computer and on a phone.
Want your plan to face the way you stand in the house, or to fit better on a phone screen or a printout? Plan Settings → Rotation turns the whole plan, walls, furniture and all, in 15° steps. Nothing is moved or resized: the measurements stay exactly the same.
Flipping is different: it mirrors the plan, as if you'd drawn it from the other side. Use it for a mirror-image apartment or a house built the other way round.
Step by step
- 1
On a computer: Plan Settings → Rotation
Plan Settings is the panel at the top of the left panel (if the side panel is closed, click the Plan Settings tab on the left edge). Click the Rotation tab. ↺ turns the plan 15° to the left, ↻ 15° to the right; six clicks make a quarter turn (90°). Reset, top right of the tab, turns it back to the way it was drawn. Rotate and Flip used to sit in the toolbar above the plan; they moved here in October 2026.
Plan Settings → Rotation: ↺ ↻ in 15° steps, two flips, and Reset. - 2
The plan turns, everything with it
Here the plan has been turned a quarter turn. Walls, doors, furniture and measurements all turn together, and the numbers stay upright so you can still read them. Fit re-centres the plan if it moves out of view.
Turned 90°. Reset in the Rotation tab turns it back. - 3
On a phone or tablet: open Plan Settings
On a phone (and on most tablets held upright), tap the Plan Settings button in the top row under the design name.
Phone: tap Plan Settings. - 4
Choose the Rotation tab
The tray opens on Layout; tap Rotation. Everything fits in one short row, so you can watch the plan turn: ↺ and ↻ (15° each), then the two flip buttons (left to right, top to bottom), with Reset at the top right. Tap × to close the tray.
Plan Settings → Rotation. - 5
Flip (mirror) the whole plan
In the same Rotation tab, after the two rotate arrows, are Flip plan left to right and Flip plan top to bottom (hover or long-press shows the name). Unlike rotating, a flip really changes the design: walls, doors and windows, furniture, stairs, labels and notes all move to their mirror position. One Undo reverses it. More in rotate, flip and mirror.
Tips
Line it up with the real house
Turn the plan until it matches the way you see the rooms from the front door. It's much easier to place furniture when left on screen is left in real life.
Printing a wide plan
Your images, PDFs and prints use the rotation you see on screen. Turn a long plan sideways to fill the page better.
Common mistakes
Pressing Undo to turn it back
Rotating only changes how you look at the plan, so it isn't an undo step. Use Reset to go back to the original direction.
Flipping when you meant to rotate
If the kitchen ends up on the wrong side of the house, you flipped instead of rotated. Tap Undo (or the same Flip button again).
Frequently asked questions
How do I rotate my whole floor plan?
Open Plan Settings (the panel at the top of the left panel on a computer, the Plan Settings button in the top row on a phone), choose Rotation, and tap ↺ or ↻. Each tap turns the plan 15°.
Where did Rotate Plan and Flip Plan go from the toolbar?
They moved into Plan Settings → Rotation, the same place as on a phone. The toolbar above the plan keeps Fit.
How do I rotate the plan 90 degrees?
Tap ↻ (or ↺) six times: 6 × 15° = 90°.
Does rotating change my measurements or move my walls?
No. It only turns the view. Every wall, door and piece of furniture keeps its size and its place in the room.
Will it stay rotated next time I open the design?
Yes. The rotation is saved with the design, and images, PDFs and prints use it too. Tap Reset to go back to the way you drew it.
My plan is upside down. How do I fix it?
If it was only turned, tap Reset. If the rooms are mirrored (left and right swapped), it was flipped: tap the same Flip button again, or Undo.
How do I turn a single piece of furniture?
Select it and use Rotate in its panel. See rotate, flip and mirror.
