Complete walkthrough: draw a room, furnish it, and view it in 3D
New here? This is the whole flow start to finish — draw your room, add furniture, run Smart Flow Check, and step inside in 3D.
New to RoomSketch3D? This is the complete tour, from blank canvas to a furnished room you can walk through in 3D — in a few minutes.
Five steps cover it: draw the room, add wall fixtures, furnish it, run Smart Flow Check, and switch to 3D.
Step by step
- 1
Draw the room
From your dashboard, click New Design. Choose Rectangle for a standard four-wall room (or Custom shapes for L-shapes and irregular outlines). Enter width and length, name the design, pick units, set ceiling height. Click Create Room.
- 2
Add doors, windows, and stairs
Open the Build Panel (left rail). Click Door, then click the wall where the door goes. Repeat for windows, openings, fireplaces, and stairs. Set width and (for hinged doors) hinge side and swing direction in the Inspector.
- 3
Furnish the space
Open the Furnish Panel (right rail). Pick a room type tab (Living Room, Bedroom, etc.). Click a furniture tile to place; drag to position. Use the Inspector to rotate (90° steps or exact angle), resize, or duplicate.
- 4
Run Smart Flow Check
It's always on — the Flow Check badge in the toolbar shows warnings as you place furniture. Address them as they appear: tight walkways, door swing blocks, recliner clearance.
- 5
Switch to 3D
Click the 3D View button in the top toolbar. Orbit with mouse-drag (or one-finger drag on mobile); pinch or scroll to zoom. Click any room beacon to fast-travel between rooms. Try walk mode (W/A/S/D + mouse on desktop, on-screen joystick on mobile).
Tips
Save effort with a template
If your room is roughly standard, start from a furnished template (Living Room, Kitchen, Bedroom presets) instead of building from scratch.
Don't fight Smart Flow Check
When a warning appears, it's flagging a real problem (door swing into a sofa, walkway under 30 inches). Fix it now, not later.
