Draw a measured room: a floor plan, the four walls, and lists of doors, windows and finishes. Print them to a real scale, save them as a PDF, or send a CAD file to an architect or builder. Roomveil keeps your drawings on this device.
Step 1 · Draw your room
- The plan. Drag the orange dot to resize. The walls are named A, B, C and D, clockwise from the top.
- Room name, width, length and ceiling height. More details adds wall thickness, the room number and a check that the room is square.
- The room as it is (a survey) or A new layout (a design).
Step 2 · Doors and windows
- Add a Door, Window or Doorway. More has built-in closets, fireplaces, radiators, and sockets or switches. Tap a door to make it hinged, double, sliding or pocket.
- The wall view. Drag the window up or along the wall; the sizes to each side update as you go.
Step 3 · Furniture and fixtures
Step 4 · Floor, walls and ceiling
Step 5 · Your drawings
- Three pages: the floor plan, the four walls, and the lists. Tap a page to look closer.
- Print or PDF. In the print window, choose Save as PDF to keep a file.
- CAD (DXF): a file for AutoCAD and other drawing programs, in inches or millimeters to match your units.
- Lists as a spreadsheet: CSV for Excel, Numbers or Google Sheets.
- Copy a link to these drawings. The whole drawing travels inside the link; nothing is uploaded.
Vector sheets (SVG) are there too, for Illustrator, InDesign or Affinity.
For architects and designers
- Switch to Architectural in Settings (or Architect's terms on the homepage) for sill height, AFF, FFL, structural or rough opening, and schedules. The US version uses feet and inches; the UK version uses millimeters.
- Sheets come in A3, A4, 11 × 17 or Letter, at a standard scale from 1:20 to 1:500, or 1/2″ to 1/16″ = 1′-0″, with a title block and revision. With Architectural words the sheets carry a NOT FOR CONSTRUCTION stamp; everyday sheets say Check sizes on site before ordering.
- The DXF (AutoCAD R12) uses AIA / US National CAD Standard layer names such as A-WALL-E, A-DOOR-E, A-GLAZ-E and A-ANNO-DIMS.
- Checks, for guidance: door clear width (ADA 32″, Approved Document M4(1) 775 mm), door swings hitting furniture, fixture space, and rooms out of square.
