How to Create a Floor Plan

Creating a floor plan to scale can be a challenging part of the home and interior design process, but it is handy for visualizing layouts, such as furniture placement. With ConceptDraw DIAGRAM, you can easily produce layouts for real estate properties.
The software features a comprehensive collection of pre-designed vector objects, enabling you to create floor plans quickly and efficiently. You can also determine room sizes and measure distances directly within your drawing.
The Floor Plans solution extends ConceptDraw DIAGRAM with libraries that contain over 500 floor plan elements. These include specialized objects for displaying dimensions, corners, areas, and other technical details using your preferred units of measurement.

1. Open a new ConceptDraw DIAGRAM document and select the libraries from the Floor Plans solution.
2. Set the measurement units and scale for your plan using the Properties dialog available in the File menu.

3. You can also change the measurement units for your document by clicking the intersection of the vertical and horizontal rulers.

4. Create your floor plan using objects from the appropriate libraries.
5. If needed, add dimensions to your plan using the “Dimensioning” library.
6. Select a dimension and insert it into the document by double-clicking. Then drag the dimension object to the element you want to measure, and attach its ends to the points you wish to mark.

7. Quickly resize objects with the Shape Size tool from the View tab.

8. Finally, you can export your drawing to graphics formats, MS PowerPoint®, or Adobe PDF files using the Export options.
