Custom Flooring From Photos and More Realistic Furniture

Saw a floor you love? Take a photo of it and lay it in your 3D model at its real size. Your rooms can also fill up with far more realistic furniture.

What shipped#

Custom flooring

• A floor from any photo. Choose a picture of the floor you want and drag four dots onto the corners of one tile or plank. It's fine if the photo was taken at a slight angle, because we straighten the piece you marked.
• Laid at its real size. Type how big one tile or plank really is, and it repeats across the room at exactly that size. Tiles line up in a grid. Planks go in staggered rows, so their ends never line up.
• Yours in every project. A floor you add is saved to your account, under Your own floors, ready for all your floor plans.
• Planned like any other floor. Pick it as Your own in the flooring plan, and its cuts, waste and cost are worked out from its size.

More realistic furniture

• New, detailed pieces. Beds, sofas, armchairs, coffee tables, dining tables and chairs, counter stools, nightstands, sideboards, display cabinets and wardrobes now come in many more styles, with real-looking fabric, wood, stone and metal.
• See it before you place it. Hover over a piece in the Furniture panel and a spinning preview shows it from every side.

Why it matters#

The floor is the biggest surface in a room. Seeing the exact tile from the showroom in your own living room, at its true size, tells you far more than a generic pattern can. Realistic furniture does the same for the rest of the room: your model stops looking like a diagram and starts looking like a home. To start from a drawing, see convert a sketch to 3D.

How to use it#

To add your own floor:

1. Open the Furniture panel and find the Flooring box.
2. Press Add your own floor, then Choose a photo. It works best from straight above, with at least one whole tile or plank in the picture.
3. Drag the four blue dots onto the corners of one tile or plank.
4. Give it a name, choose Tiles or Planks, type its real size, and press Save floor.
5. Click the rooms you want it on. Press the same floor again, or press Escape, to stop.

To add furniture, open the Furniture panel, open a category and drag a piece onto your model. There's more on placing and swapping pieces in edit your 3D model, and the artists behind many of the models are listed in the 3D model credits.

What it costs#

Tile, carpet and hardwood are free for everyone, and so is the first furniture in each row. Custom flooring and all the other furniture are part of Custom Flooring & Furnitures:

• Ex10ded includes it on every floor plan you own.
• 5 as you go sells it for one floor plan at $5, paid once.

See pricing for both.

FAQ#

What kind of photo do I need?#

Any clear photo of the floor, ideally taken from straight above. At least one whole tile or plank must be in the picture, so you can mark its four corners.

Do I need to know the size of the tile?#

Yes. The size you type is what sets how big the floor looks in your model, so measure one tile or plank, or check the product's label.

Can I remove a floor I added?#

Yes. Press the × on its picture under Your own floors, then press Delete? to confirm.

Does custom flooring come out in the CAD export?#

No. The exported .dae file carries the shape of your model, not its materials. See export to CAD.
