Design floor plans quickly and easily with Blender

Install four free Blender add-ons—extra mesh objects, magic UV, dimensions and lines, and 123 slack—for floorplan work, then set metric units, and customize snapping and shortcuts.

Master point-to-point modeling basics in Blender by snapping, placing vertices with the 3D cursor, and using move and extrude tools to craft floor plans.

Master intermediate point-to-point modeling in Blender with auto merge in edit mode to create vertices at edge intersections, and use duplication, extrudes, and loop cut or subdivide.

Learn advanced point-to-point modeling in Blender, including vertex bevel for smoother corners, the spin tool with the 3D cursor, offset edges, and avoiding faces to speed up floorplan workflows.

Create a hotel room floor plan in blender using metric units, extruding walls to 15 cm, placing a 90 cm door, with a balcony and precise openings.

Design interior walls in Blender by extruding faces from the wall centers, using snapping, auto merge, and multiple methods (edge, vertex, loop cut) for doors and openings.

Learn to model windows and doors in Blender using two approaches: reuse a wall face or create objects, then add thickness with bevel, set origins, and snap them into openings.

Add depth and color to the floor plan in Blender by extruding walls and applying materials with the Workbench renderer. Fix normals and separate floor from wall faces.

Switch to the workbench render engine and enable 2d floor plan rendering, adjust lighting to flat, apply textures, subtle shadows, ambient occlusion, and a white background for fast renders.

Apply floor textures in Blender using image textures connected to base color, adjust UV maps with box projection or Magic UV, rotate for tiling, and manage materials with fake users.

Design a wardrobe for a floor plan in Blender by modeling the cabinet, adding sliding doors, and arranging hangers with an array modifier.

Design a king-size bed layout in Blender, add nightstands and round table lamps, and refine with vertex and edge operations, snapping, and auto-merge for a complete floor plan.

Master line art rendering in Blender by using an orthographic camera, proper image resolution, and grease pencil modifiers to produce thick walls and thin furniture outlines.

Add white surfaces to furniture blocks in blender to improve line readability in floor plans; explore line art versus freestyle edge methods for clear renders.

Build desks, bathroom counters, and cabinetry in Blender using existing models, snapping, and precise dimensions; set origin to geometry, edit vertices, and render, troubleshooting the line art bug.

Create a toilet in Blender using reference images, construct the mesh with vertex bevels and a centered position, then apply correct scale and render.

Create a bathroom sink in Blender using a reference image, model with vertices and bevels, add a drain hole, apply a mirror, and align to counter height before rendering.

Learn to bring furniture blocks into Blender by importing DXF and SVG CAD files, converting DWG to DXF when needed, and applying DXF importer ellipse workarounds for clean geometry.

Learn to import CAD drawings into Blender using DXF and SVG files, manage import add-ons and unit scales, and convert curves to meshes for clean floor plan models.

Learn to refine imported CAD DXF models in Blender by cleaning and merging vertices, using auto merge and mirror modifiers, and aligning objects for accurate floor plan placement.

Add glass panels to form the shower cubicle, including the door, and place a mirror on the bathroom counter to complete the floor plan in Blender.

Learn how to reuse assets in Blender using append, copy and paste, and the asset browser to transfer objects, materials, and collections across files.

Access the asset browser in Blender to manage 3d models and materials, drag and drop assets into your scene, and register paths, save files, mark assets, and create catalogs.

Tidy up assets in Blender by removing duplicates and clarifying previews. Learn to edit assets across files with open, append, mark as asset, and create custom previews using four methods.

Demonstrates using the dimensions and lines add-on to set the camera and resolution for an A4 portrait floor plan, then create and style labels with a one by fifty scale.

Add floor plan dimensions in blender with the add-on, set units, fonts, and dimension type. Create from vertices or manual clicks, adjust text size, decimals, offset, and color.
