Save, load, share, export, and open room drawings

A room project includes its room geometry, openings, cabinets, furniture, lights, finishes, and supported custom materials. Use local autosave for recovery, a named Library design for a durable checkpoint, and a share or export for a recipient handoff.

Protect the working room#

Room Planner autosaves to its own local room-draft slot, separate from Shelf Maker and Gallery Wall. It belongs to this browser, device, and account state. Use Design → Save for an important named Library version and Save new before a risky alternative. Wait for the draft status to finish after a large edit.

When editing a room-owned cabinet in Shelf Maker, use Finish & return. Starting a new unrelated cabinet or room can detach the intended handoff.

Load a room code#

Choose Load code, paste a Room Planner code from a Supernata app or web share, and select Load. Loading replaces the current working room, so the discard guard appears when the draft has unsaved changes. A bridged legacy room can load with adjustments; read the warning and inspect walls, openings, finishes, and cabinet placement before saving it as your own.

Share for review or editing#

Open Share & Export and choose:

• View only for review. The recipient can inspect the room but cannot edit that shared document.
• Editable copy when the recipient needs an independent working copy. Their edits do not change your room.

Anyone with the link can open it, so treat it as an unlisted presentation link rather than a secret-access boundary. Supported room and cabinet custom colors and textures are included. Opening a shared room for editing can replace the recipient’s existing room draft and therefore asks for confirmation.

Export the 3D room#

3D export requires sign-in:

• COLLADA (.dae) is recommended for the widest SketchUp compatibility.
• glTF (.glb) works well with Blender and SketchUp 2025 or newer.

The export uses Y-up geometry and real-world metre scale. Confirm units, texture support, normals, and dimensions after import. A 3D export is not a fabrication drawing and can contain optimized visual geometry.

Open room drawings#

Drawings exports one combined customer + workshop set in a new tab. It includes the measured room plan, opening and Position registers, internal/closed views and a section for every cabinet, plus the fabrication schedules. It requires sign-in. If authentication interrupts the click, return to Share & Export and select Open drawings again; the second click preserves the browser permission needed to open the new tab.

The export is generated from the current digital design. It does not add surveyed dimensions, structural approval, construction tolerances, hidden utilities, or installation engineering.

Before handing off#

1. Save a named final checkpoint.
2. Review Build mode in Plan with dimensions visible.
3. Inspect door swings, furniture clearances, ceiling height, and wall mounting.
4. Open the room drawing preview.
5. Test the recipient link in a private window or another browser.
6. Import any 3D export into the destination tool and verify one known dimension.
