FloorGen

FloorGen is a browser-based floor plan maker for drawing, furnishing, viewing layouts in 3D, and exporting plans, models, and walkthrough videos for any space.

FloorGen

Browser-based floor plan creation and visualization

FloorGen is a browser-based floor plan maker for drawing, tracing, furnishing, and reviewing residential or room layouts. Users can start from a blank canvas, a template, a written description, or an imported image or PDF, then continue editing the same scaled drawing in 2D and 3D.

The product connects walls, rooms, furniture, 3D views, checks, and drawing exports to one plan. It supports feet-and-inches or metric measurements and can produce print-ready plan sets, CAD-oriented DXF files, images, 3D models, and walkthrough videos. Plans can be used without an account and save in the browser; signing in is needed for FloorGen AI and cloud syncing.

Floor planning, visualization, and export tools

Draw plans to scale

Create rooms with snapping walls, place doors and windows, and enter dimensions in feet and inches or metric units. Drawing precision is stated as 1/16 inch or 1 mm.

Trace an image or PDF

Import PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF, or PDF floor-plan sources, set the scale from a known length, and accept or adjust proposed walls. Wall detection runs in the browser and the source image remains underneath the editable plan.

Generate and edit with AI

Generate an editable plan from a written description with FloorGen AI, or ask it to change an existing plan. Changes appear as undoable steps, with comparison tools for reviewing edits; the AI feature is in beta and requires a free sign-in.

Furnish and inspect in 3D

Place furniture from about 3,000 models across 14 categories, assign finishes to wall faces and floors, and inspect the design in 3D as an orbit, dollhouse view, or first-person walkthrough.

Export drawings and media

Produce scaled PDF plan sets, PNG images, layered SVG, glTF models, R12 DXF for CAD, and MP4 walkthrough videos. Print sheets can range from Letter and A4 to ARCH D and A1 and may include title-block information.

Run design and code checks

Review room areas, stairs, and selected building-code conditions while editing. Profiles include several regional codes, but the checks are presented as design guidance rather than permit approval.

Practical ways to use FloorGen

  • Plan a home or rental room

    Measure an existing room, test furniture positions, and compare layouts before moving or renovating. The editable plan can show room areas and finishes without requiring installation or an account.

  • Convert an existing drawing

    Trace a builder brochure, scanned drawing, county PDF, or phone photo by setting a known scale and correcting the detected walls. The resulting plan can be measured and presented in 3D.

  • Develop a renovation or small-building concept

    Draft kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, houses, or backyard ADUs, furnish them, and share a scaled plan or walkthrough with a contractor, client, or stakeholder.

  • Prepare design documentation

    Create drawing sheets with title-block details, schedules, elevations, sections, and CAD-compatible DXF output for design documentation. The site's code-review tools can help identify selected room, stair, and clearance issues before professional review.

  • Use AI with an editable plan

    Describe a layout, attach a sketch, or connect an external assistant through MCP to edit a synced plan. This suits users who want AI assistance while retaining measurable geometry and manual undo and comparison controls.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Works in a browser without installation or an account for core plan creation.
  • Keeps the editable plan connected to its 2D drawing, 3D model, measurements, checks, and exports.
  • Supports image and PDF tracing, AI-assisted plan generation, furniture and finishes, scaled drawing sets, DXF export, and walkthrough video output.
  • Offers imperial and metric units and can be used on phones, tablets, and desktop computers.

Cons

  • FloorGen AI is in beta, has usage limits shown in the editor, and requires a free sign-in.
  • Image tracing is dependent on source quality and scale: brochures, perspective photos, and hand sketches may require correction, while wall detection does not read room labels, door swings, or curved walls.
  • Code checks are design aids, not permit approval, and the site says the product does not provide photorealistic rendering or DWG or IFC export.

FAQ

Can FloorGen turn a floor plan image or PDF into an editable plan?

Yes. Open the image-tracing workflow, load a PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF, or PDF, set the scale from a known length, then detect or draw the walls. The resulting plan can be edited, measured, viewed in 3D, and exported.

Do I need an account to use FloorGen?

The editor works without an account, and plans can save in the browser. FloorGen AI inside the editor requires a free sign-in, while cloud syncing requires signing in later.

What can FloorGen export?

Plans can be exported as PDF, PNG, SVG, glTF, DXF, and MP4, depending on the output type. PDF plan sets can include a title block, and DXF export uses the R12 format.

Can I preview a floor plan in 3D or create a walkthrough video?

Yes. A plan can be viewed as a 3D model, orbited as a dollhouse view, or explored at eye level. Walkthrough videos can be exported in 16:9, 9:16, or 1:1 formats, up to 1440p, with captions.

Does FloorGen verify that a plan meets building codes?

FloorGen includes code-check profiles such as IRC, NBC, OBC, UK Approved Documents, DIN, CDMX, and a generic profile. The checks are a design aid rather than permit approval and do not replace review by a qualified professional or building department.
