Labels, room tags, sticky notes — and naming any object
Long-press to add a label, drop a sticky note for whoever you share with, and give any door, chair, or wall a name of your own.
RoomSketch3D names rooms for you the moment walls enclose them — Kitchen, Bedroom, Bath — and shows each room's size. A plan you hand to someone else usually needs a little more: a name on the nook that isn't a room, a note about the wall you're not sure of, a door called by the room it opens into.
There are three tools for that, and they all travel with the plan into your exports: room labels you place yourself, sticky notes (they print as numbered pins, with the full text on a Notes page), and an editable name on any object.
Step by step
- 1
See the automatic room names
Any space closed off by walls gets a name, an area, and its own flooring as soon as it's enclosed — you no longer need to add a door first. Tap a room's label to expand it, rename it, or use the wand to auto-furnish that room. When you rename a room, tap Save (or press Enter) to keep the new name; tapping the plan around it or pressing Escape keeps the old one, and Reset goes back to the automatic name.
Enclosed spaces are named and measured automatically. - 2
Add your own label
Open Layers (the stacked-sheets button, first in the toolbar after Flow check) and tap Add label — or right-click (long-press on touch) anywhere on the plan and choose Add label from the menu. Type into the Label… field (the text is saved as you type), tap Done (×) or press Enter, and drag the tag to wherever it reads best. Tags always render right-side-up, even on a rotated plan.
Layers → Add label, or right-click / long-press the plan. - 3
Drop a sticky note
Tap Sticky notes in the toolbar — the hint reads Tap anywhere on the plan to place a note — tap the spot, and write in the Write a note… box: a measurement to confirm, a question for the contractor, a reminder for yourself. Use Note color to colour-code, drag a note to move it, tap it to reopen, and Exit notes when you're done. Notes tuck behind open panels so they never cover the tools.
Notes are for the next person who opens the plan. - 4
Name anything
Select any object — furniture, a door, a window, an awning, a staircase, a pillar, an elevator, a wall, a balcony, a skylight, a zone — and the title at the top of its inspector is an editable Name field. Type Kids' room door or Reading sofa, then tap the ✓ (or press Enter) to save it. Tapping away, closing the phone keyboard, tapping × or pressing Escape keeps the old name. Clear the text to go back to the standard name. A name you give a piece sticks when you resize it.
The inspector title is a name field — for any object. - 5
Control what shows on screen
In Layers, Show room labels, Show furniture labels, and Show sticky notes switch each kind on or off while you work. Hiding only hides; nothing is deleted. Show sticky notes starts off on a new phone or computer and switches on by itself when you add a note or open a plan that has notes, so if notes you know are there don't show, tick it once. These switches change the screen. What goes into a file is set in the export dialog (next step). Every switch is explained in the Layers panel.
Labels, names, and notes are layers you can switch. - 6
Print or export with your notes
Open Export / Print / Share → PNG/PDF or Print. When your plan has at least one note with text, the options include Sticky notes, ticked by default. Leave it on and every note is printed. Your labels and object names print when Labels is ticked.
Sticky notes: on by default whenever your plan has notes. - 7
Notes become numbered pins on the plan
Instead of note cards covering your cabinets, each note prints as a small numbered pin, in the note's colour, right where you placed it. Pins are numbered the way you read the printed page, top to bottom and left to right. Empty notes are skipped.
Pins 1 and 2 on the exported plan. Room names and furniture labels print too. - 8
The full text goes on a Notes page
Each note's full text is listed by number under the heading Notes, however long the note is. In a PDF or a printout it's page 2, right after the plan. A PNG export downloads a second image next to the plan (its name ends in -notes.png). When you export several floors at once, each floor's plan is followed by its own notes. To leave notes out, untick Sticky notes in the dialog.
The Notes page: pin numbers with each note's full text.
Tips
Label the spaces that aren't rooms
A reading corner, the drop zone by the door, the future island — a tag makes the intent obvious to whoever reads the plan.
Notes beat emails
Put the question on the wall it's about. When you share a public link, the note is right there in context.
Names make Flow Check readable
"Kids' room door blocked by Reading sofa" is easier to act on than "Door 3 blocked by 3-Seater Sofa".
Common mistakes
Hiding labels and thinking they're gone
The Layers toggles only hide; the labels are still on the plan and still export if Labels is on in the export dialog.
Hiding notes on screen to keep them off the printout
Layers → Show sticky notes only changes the screen. To leave notes out of a PDF, PNG, or print, untick Sticky notes in the export dialog.
Tapping away after renaming an object
An object's new name is saved only when you tap the ✓ or press Enter. Tapping elsewhere, closing the keyboard or tapping × keeps the old name. Room names work the same way with Save.
Pressing Escape to save
Escape throws the edit away everywhere: object names, room names, labels and notes. Labels and notes save as you type, so just close them with Done (×) instead.
Frequently asked questions
Can I rename the automatically detected rooms?
Yes. Tap the room label to expand it and edit the name, or add your own label anywhere with Layers → Add label.
Do sticky notes print or appear in exports?
Yes. In a PDF, PNG, or printout each note becomes a small numbered pin on the plan, and the full text of every note is listed by number on a Notes page (page 2 of a PDF or print, or a second image for a PNG). It's on by default whenever your plan has a note with text; untick Sticky notes in the export dialog to leave them out.
I don't see the Sticky notes option in the export dialog.
It only appears when the plan has at least one note with text in it. An empty note isn't printed. Notes started printing in late September 2026. If you've had the app open since before then, reload the page (or update the app) once.
Why pins instead of the notes themselves?
A note can run to hundreds of characters, and printed as a card it would cover the walls and cabinets it's about. A numbered pin marks the exact spot, and the Notes page gives you the whole text.
Can I name a door or a wall, not just furniture?
Yes. Every object with an inspector — doors, windows, awnings, stairs, pillars, elevators, walls, balconies, skylights, zones — has an editable name field at the top of its inspector.
How do I label an open-concept area that has no fourth wall?
Drop a Room label. Automatic room names only appear for spaces that are fully enclosed by walls, so an open kitchen-dining-living area gets one name at most. Add a room label for each zone (Layers → Add label, or right-click / long-press the plan and choose Add label) — 'Dining', 'Living' — and drag it where you want it. Labels don't need walls, don't affect Flow Check, and appear in exports. The area figures in the side panel still count the enclosed room as one space.
