Checking whether the furniture fits

You already hold the plan. It might be the sheet from a listing, or an old drawing someone emailed you, and the room it describes is one you cannot walk into yet. What you want to know is whether the sofa clears the window, and whether the bed still leaves room to open a wardrobe. A ruler on the drawing gives you a number. It does not put the piece in the room at its own size, where you can turn the model and look at it.

Compact studio, whole space: AI-generated visualization of the reference 3D model.
Kitchen, table, sitting area and sleeping alcove share one open room. AI-generated visualization; explore eight views and their source captures below.

What you can do

  • A navigable, conceptual 3D reconstruction of your plan.
  • Modeled spaces you can inspect against the source, with direct manual wall and opening corrections on the same canvas.
  • Model-space area, space count and overall extent estimates in the viewer.
  • Furniture at its catalog width, depth and height, which you place, move, rotate, duplicate and delete.

Limits to keep in mind

  • Fit check on a saved project tests one piece in one room against the model’s walls, doors and known clearances. It does not verify the real room or delivery route.
  • No whole-home circulation or accessibility approval. Review routes and critical clearances on site.
  • No verified opening width. Editor dimensions describe the model; measure the real door and delivery route before ordering.
  • No certified room areas. Public models with measurable room geometry can show approximate per-room areas; verify them against the source and on site.
  • No shopping. The catalog holds versioned assets with license labels, not products you can order.
  • Conceptual model only. Not a survey or construction document.

Features you can use

Furniture library

Each piece carries its width, depth and height, its source colors and materials, the room roles and budget band it belongs to, and its catalog license. A piece that needs room around it carries required clearances too.

Design Option

Keep a saved baseline option and separate source drawing while testing furniture, finishes or conceptual manual wall and opening changes in a proposal.

Direct model editing

Place a piece from a preview, then move it, rotate it, duplicate it, or remove it, with undo behind every step.

Measure tool

Pick two points to read a distance within the conceptual model. The tool does not calibrate the model or change it.

Model details

The viewer prints model-space area, space count and overall extent estimates, plus the openings the conversion found by kind.

For current controls and account requirements, use the editor manual.

Choose an angle, then move the divider to compare the original 3D view with its generated image.

What happens when you upload the plan

The illustration is an AI-generated view of an authored compact studio, not an uploaded customer plan. With floor plan processing enabled for your workspace and allowance available, you create a project and upload one PDF, PNG, JPEG, SVG or DXF drawing up to 25 MiB, with room boundaries and any dimensions the sheet carries. The conversion uses one available import.

The file is checked before conversion. If it passes, the app reconstructs a conceptual 3D model and reports model-space area, space count and overall extent estimates. That is the geometry in which you place the furniture.

Will my sofa fit?

Check the sofa’s actual overall width, depth, and height, including its arms, back, and any chaise, rather than seat width. Compare those dimensions with the usable room footprint after accounting for baseboards, radiators, door swings, and the route through the room. Check the back height against a window sill and allow the manufacturer’s operating space for a recliner or sleeper sofa. A catalog model is a useful reference only when its dimensions match the sofa you intend to buy.

Room fit and delivery fit are separate checks. Measure the real door openings, hallway turns, stair landings, elevator, and ceiling clearance along the delivery route. Ask the seller for packaged dimensions and whether legs, arms, or sectional modules can be removed. A sofa that clears a doorway by its depth can still stick at the next turn, so confirm the route with the delivery team before ordering. The model does not perform this check.

Putting a piece in the room

Review the reconstructed rooms against the source and retain a baseline option. Use a separate design option for furniture experiments; your account must have editing access. The sample editor keeps practice options locally.

Furniture is a versioned collection. Filter it by collection or style, by furniture role, or search for the piece you have in mind. Open one and you get its width, depth and height, its source colors and materials, the room roles and budget band it belongs to, its license, and, where the piece needs room around it, the clearances it requires. Adding a piece to the plan arms a preview; nothing changes in the model until you place it.

Move, rotate or duplicate the piece, then inspect the passage in plan and 3D. Use the placing-and-arranging manual for current controls, snapping and undo.

What the license label on a piece means

Each library piece carries one of four labels. They describe where the asset came from, not a product you can order.

  • Original procedural asset, made for this catalog.
  • CC0 1.0 · Public domain dedication.
  • Creative Commons Attribution 4.0.
  • Licensed for production.

The footprint drawn under a piece is per-piece scale: catalog bounds, not a product image. The original geometry is available in 3D, and you can inspect a piece’s original variants before you place it.

What the model settles, and what you measure yourself

QuestionWhere the answer is
Is the wall long enough for the piece?Estimate it in the model with the two-point measure tool, then verify it against the drawing and on site.
How much room does the piece itself take?In the library. Each piece carries its width, depth and height.
Does it need space in front of it to open, or to walk past?The catalog lists required clearance. Fit check compares one saved placement with known model boundaries; verify the real space.
How big is this one room?The public viewer can report approximate room areas when the model includes measurable room geometry. These are model estimates, not certified measurements.
Will it get through the door?Only as far as the model goes. Nothing prints an opening width, and a measure-tool reading across a doorway is as conceptual as the rest of the model. Measure the real doorway and the route to it.
Where each fit question gets answered

Before you order anything

The reconstruction can misread a legible drawing, and the source itself may not reflect later alterations. Check the reported scale status and two independent dimensions against reliable plans, then verify the furniture footprint and delivery route on site.

The model downloads as a GLB file with a JSON room map of boundaries and doorway connections beside it, so you can hand the saved or compiled revision to whoever is doing the work. If you want the measurement limits on their own, read getting measurements off a plan. If the piece is going into a room you intend to change, planning a renovation covers what the app will and will not let you move. For a worked example, will a queen bed fit walks one piece from the library into one room.

Check access before you start

Processing a new physical floor uses one floor unit. Manual edits and alternatives on that floor are included; export formats vary by plan. The project creator or an assigned customer Editor with an available seat can use the export library, and only while the project is nonpublic. Manual furniture and finish editing uses the Design Option editor. Current plan details are on the pricing page.

What the example demonstrates

The building the duplex story is an authored sample, modeled by hand to show editing, views and presentation. Use its walkthrough to choose the questions your arrangement must answer; fidelity is checked against your source and real space.

Your next decision

Try the largest footprint first and check the route around it. Catalog stand-ins help compare arrangements; verify the actual product and delivery dimensions separately.

Guided shows common tasks and Expert exposes direct controls on the same canvas. Assistant changes require an available allowance. The drawing remains the reconstruction reference. The account, editor and billing application currently use English.

You see your home in 3D before you pay, and editing it needs a plan. A failed build goes back to your monthly builds. Check access and pricing before you begin.
