How to Add Flooring to Your 3D Floor Plan
As you create your 3D floor plan, it's important to showcase every detail in your design to better bring your vision to life. Adding flooring is an important step — it's a key design element that helps showcase the ideas you have for your client's space.
This tutorial will guide you through the simple steps to customise your flooring within the 3D Floor Planner.
Adding Floors in the 3D Floor Planner
To start, you will need to open an existing 3D floor plan or create a new floor plan. Read How to Create a 3D Floor Plan to learn more about getting started.
Regardless of how you create your floor plan, it's important that the walls in your design are all fully connected. You are not able to add flooring to a room unless the room is fully enclosed — be sure to check for any wall gaps if you are having trouble.
Once your room is created, simply click on the flooring in the space. A new menu on the right side of your screen will appear with room details. Click Select Flooring.
You will then be able to browse our Flooring Library in the right menu. Select the relevant tab to find wood, tile and carpet options. You can also use the search bar to search by keyword.
Once you make a selection, it will automatically update in your floor plan design. Make sure to view the flooring in Dollhouse and Walkthrough mode to get a better idea of how it will look visually in your design.
Please Note: If you have an open concept floor plan — such as a kitchen, dining room and living room space — you will only be able to select one flooring material for the entire room. A room needs to be fully enclosed with walls and doors to select a different flooring material.
If you already have flooring selected — either from a template or your own design — you can easily adjust the flooring if needed. Just click on the flooring, and select the current flooring selection from the right menu. The Flooring Library will appear so you can make your changes.
When you adjust the flooring, you will need to select another material from the library — you are not able to go back to a No Flooring option.
