    Floor plan

    Your building to scale: grid lines, columns, anchor rods, bays and openings. Add rooms and drag them into place to see exact distances to the walls. Tap a room or mezzanine, then drag its sides or corners to resize it. With a mezzanine, use the level tabs to plan rooms upstairs. Anchor rod sizes and final locations come with the engineered drawings. Tip: Beside the model keeps this plan open next to the 3D view, so you see every change in 3D as you make it.

    Rooms are planning notes sent with your pricing request. Interior build-out is quoted separately.
