Smart Flow Check: catch layout problems before moving day
As you design, Flow Check quietly checks every door swing, walkway, and clearance. Green means your plan works; anything else comes with a plain-English reason and the piece to move.

Most layout mistakes are discovered on moving day: the sofa that blocks the door, the dining chair that can't pull out, the walkway you have to turn sideways to use. Flow Check finds them on the plan instead.
It runs all the time while you design. The Flow check button stays visible — green when your plan is clear — and every warning names the problem and the pieces involved, so you know exactly what to move.
What you can do
Door swings
Flags furniture that sits in a door's swing, so every door opens all the way.
Walkways
Finds paths too tight to walk through comfortably.
Overlaps
Spots pieces placed on top of each other or pushed outside the room.
Proximity
Warns when furniture crowds a door or a fireplace, or a bookshelf blocks a window.
Seating clearance
Checks recliner clearance and coffee tables placed too close to seating.
Kitchen-aware
Understands cabinets, islands, stools, and hoods, so it doesn't flag what belongs there.
How it works
- 1
Furnish the room
Place furniture at its real size — or type the exact dimensions of what you own.
- 2
Watch the Flow check button
Green means clear. A count means there's something to look at.
- 3
Open the list
Each warning says what's wrong and which pieces are involved.
- 4
Fix and re-check
Move or resize the piece; the warning clears as soon as the problem is gone.
Good to know
- Run it before you buy: drop the exact sofa you're considering into the room and see whether Flow Check stays green.
- Use the tape measure alongside it to see exactly how much walkway you have left.
Frequently asked questions
What does Smart Flow Check look for?
Blocked door swings, tight walkways, overlapping furniture, recliner clearance, coffee tables too close to seating, and furniture crowding doors, fireplaces, or windows.
Do I have to run it?
No. It checks continuously as you design; the Flow check button turns green when your plan is clear.
Will it flag cabinets against a wall?
No. Cabinets and islands pushed flush to a wall, stools under an island, and range hoods above a cooktop are all understood as intended.
