Interior Design Just a Click Away!

Rendering

Design basics

Let’s start with a specific example: You get a scanned, hand-drawn floor plan from the customer and you have to use this to design the living room. In a better case you get the drawing in DWG, which is easier to work with. First, you import the floor plan as a raster image, and then set the correct scale based on a known length. This is where planning begins.

You set the parameters of the wall and place them according to the drawing. The first wall will be immediately visible in the 3D window. Now comes the most spectacular part: using the room wizard.
