Furnishing

Place and edit furniture

Find models in the library, place them on the plan, then move, rotate, resize, recolour, align and duplicate them.

The Furnish panel holds over 80 models in 11 categories: living room, bedroom, dining, kitchen, bathroom, office, kids room, lighting, decor and plants, outdoor and structure. Every model can be resized and recoloured, and pieces snap to walls and line up with each other.

Steps

  1. Open the Furnish panel. Search by name or click a category. Each card shows the model's size in centimetres.
  2. Click a card, then click the plan to place it. It snaps to a nearby wall; hold Alt to place it freely, or Shift to place several.
  3. Drag the piece on the plan or in the 3D view to move it. Guides show when it lines up with neighbours, and it is highlighted if it overlaps another piece.
  4. Press R to rotate 90° or Shift+R for 15°, or drag the rotate handle. Arrow keys nudge it 5 cm; add Shift for 25 cm.
  5. In the properties panel, type Width, Depth, Height, Height off floor or Rotation. Reset size restores the original size.
  6. Under Finish, choose a Main colour and, where the model has one, a Second colour. Custom opens a colour picker.
  7. Press Ctrl+D or click Duplicate to copy it. Press Delete or click Delete item to remove it.

Several pieces at once

  • Shift+click to add pieces to the selection, or Shift+drag across empty floor to select an area. Ctrl+A selects all visible furniture.
  • Use the Align buttons, and with three or more pieces, Space evenly across or Space evenly down.
  • Duplicate all and Delete all act on the whole selection. Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V copy and paste it.

Tips and limits

  • Under Plan settings in the Build panel, Show furniture and Show ceiling fittings hide those layers on the plan so you can work on walls.
  • Right-click a piece for a quick menu.
  • You cannot upload your own 3D model files yet. To make a piece the library does not have, see Custom objects.
