Save a floorplan to your project

Each project has one floorplan, on its Floorplan tab. Saving and changing it needs Premium or Professional, and permission to edit the project.

Save from the floorplan creator#

1. Draw your plan on the Floorplan creator while signed in.
2. Select Save to a project, choose the Project (or A new project…) and give it a Floorplan name.
3. Link each room you drew to one of the project's rooms, to a New room, or choose Don't link.
4. Select Save. If the project already has a floorplan, this one becomes its next version.

Draw it on the project#

1. Open the project's Floorplan tab. With no floorplan yet, it starts blank, in the project's country's sizes.
2. Draw, then select Save floorplan. You're asked to link any rooms not linked yet.
3. After a change, select Save as version 2 (the number follows on). Each save is a new version, and History lists them all.

The project's floorplan isn't saved as you go. If you try to leave with unsaved changes, RenovU asks first.

Linked rooms#

A linked room takes the project room's name. Select it on the plan to see the project room's tasks, photos and budget, or to change its link under Project room. In the project's settings, linked rooms are marked On the floorplan.

Use a room in a calculator#

Select a room and use Use this room in a calculator for paint, flooring, skirting, radiators or air-con. The calculator opens filled in, and Save to my project starts on that project and room.

Build a wall from the plan#

For a partition, or any wall between two rooms, the stud wall builder can work out the frame and boards from the plan itself.

1. Save the floorplan first: builds are made from the saved plan.
2. Select the wall, then Build this wall. The stud wall builder opens with the wall's length, turns, height, doors and windows filled in.
3. Choose the material, studs and boarding, then Save to my project. It's saved to a new task named after the wall, such as "Stud wall: Kitchen / Hall", in the first room.

Select the wall again to see its build: the task, its version and how thick it is.

• Out of date: when the wall changes after the build (its length, turns, height, doors or windows), the panel says what changed. Save the floorplan, then select Update build. It replaces the build's lengths, turns, height, doors and windows with the wall's, and keeps its material, studs, spacing and boarding. If its materials list changes, you can review it on the build.
• Thickness: a build is usually thicker than the plan's 100 mm inside wall: 89 mm studs and a board each side make 114 mm. The panel offers Build is 114 mm — use it to draw the wall at the build's thickness. Save the floorplan to keep it.

Building and updating need Premium or Professional, and permission to update the task. Every member sees the builds.

Who sees what#

Every member can view and export the floorplan. Members who can't edit the project, older versions and archived projects are view only. On Free, the tab shows a sample plan to look around, with the upgrade prompt.
