Smart Layout

Smart Layout furnishes rooms for you. It reads each room's shape, doors and windows and places a scheme using placement rules and standard clearances for nine room types. It is a rules engine, not a language model; an AI layout planner is in development. Everything it places is ordinary furniture that you can edit.

Steps

1. Draw at least one enclosed room and add its doors and windows.
2. Open the Smart layout panel from the left-hand rail.
3. Under 1 · Choose a style, pick one of ten: Japandi, Modern, Scandinavian, Minimalist, Industrial, Mid-century modern, Bohemian, Coastal, Classic or Wabi-sabi.
4. Under 2 · Furnish, choose the Room. Check Furnish as, which follows the room's type.
5. Choose What to add: Furniture, decor and lighting, Furniture only, or Decor and lighting only.
6. Turn on Keep what's already in the room to build around pieces you have placed.
7. Click Furnish this room, or Furnish all for every room. A message says how many pieces were placed.

What it changes

• Without Keep what's already in the room, furnishing replaces the furniture in the room.
• With full or furniture-only scope, it also sets the room's floor finish and wall paint to suit the style, and may paint one accent wall.
• Decor and lighting only keeps everything already there, including the floor and paint.
• Furnish all uses each room's type. Rooms with no type are given one based on their size, so set types first for the best result.

Tips and limits

• Press Ctrl+Z to undo a layout you do not like.
• Very small or oddly shaped rooms may get fewer pieces. If nothing can be added, the message says so.
• Try the same room in two styles and render both to compare. See Still renders.
• For kitchens with exact module sizes and worktop lengths, use the Kitchen planner.
