How to Trace a Floor Plan
STEP 1:
Upload and trace your floor plan
Upload a hand-drawn sketch, blueprint, scanned drawing, or photo in JPG, PNG, or PDF format.
Set the scale using a known wall measurement, then trace the walls directly over the original plan.
Show or hide the blueprint as you work so you can compare your drawing with the source and keep the layout accurate.
STEP 2:
Edit the Layout
Once the floor plan is traced, you can update the layout whenever you need to.
Move walls, add doors and windows, change room names, adjust dimensions, or furnish the space with fixtures and furniture.
Because the floor plan is editable, you can keep refining it as the project changes.
STEP 3:
Generate and share your floor plans
When the layout is ready, generate 2D and 3D Floor Plans from your project.
Use them for renovation planning, property presentations, client communication, or simply to keep a clear digital record of the space.
If the layout changes later, just update the project and generate a new floor plan.
