Floor Plan: rendered plans and interior views

Video transcript

Hi, I’m Josh. In this tutorial, I’ll show you two ways to use Floor Plan: turn a drawing into a rendered floor plan, or create an interior view from one of its rooms. Start by opening Floor Plan and uploading your drawing. You’ll see two options: Rendered floor plan and Interior view. You can start with either one. For this example, we’ll create the rendered plan first, then use it to explore a room from inside. Choose Rendered floor plan. Maquete reads the drawing and prepares the settings for your plan. Choose the mood and palette, then set the wall colour, furniture style and lighting. For this apartment, I’ll use a warm neutral palette and contemporary furniture. In the Rooms section, you can set the flooring for each room. Use Additional notes for specific details, such as light cabinetry and a dark stone kitchen worktop. Once your settings are ready, click Generate. Here’s the finished apartment plan, with materials, furniture and lighting presented from above. You can download it, or choose Edit settings to make another version. Now let’s see the apartment from inside. Click Render a view inside the plan. The rendered plan carries over into the Interior view workflow. You can also choose Original upload if you’d prefer to work from your drawing. Maquete identifies the rooms and marks them on the plan. Select a numbered area directly on the image, or choose it from the room list. For this example, select the large open-plan studio on the right — the space containing the bed, sofa, desk and kitchen. Next, choose what the camera faces. Use the View direction options to explore the available viewpoints. The preview shows the room layout and framing for each one. I’ll choose the view facing the wardrobe, desk and kitchen, with the balcony on the right. Set the ceiling height, then click Prepare this view. You can also clarify room details in the chat. For example, you could specify that the wardrobe reaches the ceiling. Use Update preview to apply a proposed change. When your view is ready, click Generate room view. Here’s the finished interior, looking across the studio toward the desk and kitchen. You can download the image or save it to a project. To keep exploring, create another view of this room, or return to the plan and select a different room.
