How to start from a template or an example plan

Open a template

1. 1

   Go to Templates

   Go to spaceplanner.co/templates, or click Browse all templates on the home page. Filter by Apartments, Houses, Workspaces or Outdoor, or search by name.

   

2. 2

   Pick one

   Click Use Template on a card to open it straight in the editor. Or click the card to read about it first, then click Use Template on its page.

3. 3

   Make it yours

   Move walls, change room sizes, swap furniture and rename rooms like any plan. Nothing you change affects the template for anyone else.

   

Open an example plan

1. 4

   Find an example

   Example plans open from the house plan and floor plan pages on the site, with the Open Example Plan button. They open as your own editable copy.

2. 5

   Explore it

   Examples are full plans with furniture, finishes and, on the villa, a roof and a pool. Click 3D to walk around them, and open Export to see how a finished plan prints.

Keep your version

1. 6

   Reload safely

   Once you draw on a template, your version wins when you reload the page. You see Picked up where you left off. Click Start fresh in that message to go back to the clean template.

2. 7

   Save it to your account

   As a guest, your edited template is kept in this browser. Click Sign up to keep it to move it into a free account.

Tips

• As a guest, this browser keeps one plan. Opening a different template replaces the current one, so sign up first if you want to keep what you drew.
• Some templates and examples open in feet and inches. Change the units with the units button in the top bar.
• Use a template as a reference: open it in one tab and draw your own plan in your account in another.

Common problems

I opened a template and got my old drawing instead

Your earlier drawing in this browser was kept. Click Start fresh in the Picked up where you left off message to load the clean template.

Opening a template replaced my plan

A guest browser holds one plan. Sign up to keep several plans. If you were signed in, your saved plans are still in My plans.

The template is in feet and I use meters

Click the units button in the top bar and choose Meters or Centimeters. Sizes stay the same, only the numbers change.
