We are kicking off 2017 with an awesome update to our floor plan and home design app for PC & Mac. Now it’s even easier to draw exact wall lengths, upload and scale your blueprint to draw over and measure the distance between the wall and your dining table. Read on to learn all about these great new features!

Specify Exact Wall Lengths

We’ve taken the most popular feature in our tablet app and made it available for everyone!

Get greater precision when you draw your floor plans by entering exact wall lengths. Simply double-click on a wall, enter the exact length and the wall sizes automatically.

With the RoomSketcher App, you can draw floor plans using metric scale or feet/inches. Specify your wall length in millimeters or to the faction of an inch for even greater precision.

Upload and Scale a Blueprint

Do you have an existing floor plan drawing, such as a blueprint, image, or sketch? Upload it to the RoomSketcher App to use a template.

Our new and improved interface, allows you to upload your blueprint directly to the app and to scale, rotate and crop it easily. Trace directly over your blueprint as you draw and turn the blueprint on or off with cool new “hotkeys”.

Draw faster and create dynamic 2D and 3D Floor Plans that you can edit, customize and view in Live 3D! Available with a RoomSketcher subscription.
