Room Planner modes, tabs, and navigation

Room Planner groups settings into Room, Add, and Ambience. Select and move cabinets, furniture, doors, and windows directly on the canvas from any group. Finish or cancel an active drawing, painting, or measurement tool before selecting an object.

Settings groups#

• Room contains room shape, exterior and interior walls, doors, windows, and architectural dimensions.
• Add contains cabinets, catalogue furniture, personal 3D models, decorations, placement, and marked empty spaces.
• Ambience contains room colors and finishes, mood, sunlight, ceiling and ambient lights, light groups, and cabinet shelf LEDs.

Tabs inside each mode#

The side rail or mobile sheet follows the active mode:

• Room, Openings, and Colors belong to Build.
• Furniture belongs to Furnish and includes cabinets, catalogue items, personal models, and the empty-space workflow.
• Lighting belongs to Lighting.
• Selected shows controls for the currently selected wall, opening, cabinet, furniture item, or light.
• Structure lists the room and its contents and remains useful across Build, Furnish, and Lighting.

On a phone, drag the bottom sheet between its compact, half, and full positions. The 2D/3D switch and important canvas tools remain above the sheet so the plan stays usable.

Switch modes deliberately#

Finish or cancel an active placement, drawing, paint, measurement, or empty-space tool before changing jobs. Switching settings cancels the current canvas tool so a half-finished action cannot keep intercepting taps. Placed objects remain selectable across settings groups; selecting a cabinet, opening, or furniture item opens its controls.

Use the structure and search routes#

Use Structure when an object is hidden by another object, a cutaway, or a crowded plan. Selecting an item there targets the same room object as selecting it on the canvas.

Press Command K on macOS or Ctrl K on Windows and Linux to open command search. When you are not typing, / also opens it in supported contexts. Search for a destination or action such as “doors,” “floor,” “wall length 350,” “ceiling 280,” “sofa,” “measure,” or “export GLB.” A disabled result explains which room, mode, selection, or fit rule is missing.

A reliable workflow#

1. Build and verify the measured shell in Build and Plan view.
2. Add and position objects in Furnish.
3. Review materials and circulation before styling the scene.
4. Tune fixtures and mood in Lighting.
5. Return to Room and Plan whenever a dimension matters.
