Scale is what makes a plan useful
Anchor one dimension
Set one trusted length and the rest of the plan builds from that true scale.
Feet & inches
Draw wall lengths, door widths and furniture at real ft/in sizes.
Live measurements
Every wall shows its length as you draw, so nothing drifts off-scale.
Clearances too
Scale is not just walls — it controls whether furniture and paths actually fit.
How to draw a plan to scale online
A scaled plan should keep wall lengths, door widths, furniture footprints and walking paths consistent.
Use one trusted dimension first
Anchor the plan with a known exterior or room dimension, then build the rest from that reference.
Measure furniture clearances
Scale is not just walls. It also controls whether furniture and circulation actually fit.
01Scale checks
- Exterior dimensions match the known size
- Door/window widths are realistic
- Furniture is placed at real size
02Editor workflow
- Open the single-floor example
- Use ft/in display units
- Turn dimensions on while editing
Open the single-floor house example
Use this ready-to-edit layout as a starting point. It opens with walls, doors, windows, room labels and furniture already placed, using feet/inches display units.
