See your plan in 3D while you draw it

A live 3D preview sits in the corner of the editor on a computer, tablet, or phone. It follows the part of the plan you're looking at and updates the moment you move something.

RoomSketch3D floor plan editor with the live 3D preview in the corner

2 screenshots · tap to view full size

Working in 2D is fast, but it's hard to picture the result. The live 3D preview keeps a small 3D view of your design next to the plan, so you can check a layout without leaving the editor.

It shows the part of the plan you're looking at, with your real furniture, and follows along as you pan and zoom. Move a piece and the preview updates as soon as you let go. It runs in the background, so drawing and dragging stay smooth.

Drag inside it to turn and tilt the view and see furniture from any side. When you want the full picture, tap expand to open the full 3D view.

What you can do

Always beside your plan

Bottom-right on a computer, top-right on a tablet, and a small window you open with one tap on a phone.

Updates as you edit

Move furniture or walls and the 3D view catches up the moment you let go.

Follows where you look

Pan and zoom the plan and the preview shows that same part of your design.

Turn, tilt, and zoom

Drag to turn and tilt it, scroll or pinch to zoom, and slide it with a right-drag or two fingers.

Put it where you want

Drag it anywhere by its title bar and resize it from the corners. It remembers its spot and size.

One tap to full 3D

Tap expand to switch to the full 3D view and walk through your design.

  • Closed it with the X? It stays closed until you turn it back on with the 3D preview button.

Frequently asked questions

Does the 3D preview work on phones?

Yes. On a phone, tap 3D preview to open a small window you can drag anywhere and tap to make bigger. It also works on tablets and computers.

Does it slow down editing?

No. The preview does its work in the background and updates when you let go of something, so drawing and dragging stay smooth.

How is it different from the full 3D view?

The preview is a small live view you keep open while you edit in 2D. The full 3D view takes over the screen so you can orbit the whole design or walk through it room by room.
