Every setting, explained
Open Settings from the avatar at the top right to set the language, units, text size, floor naming, plan style and your floor plan defaults. Here's what each one does.
Settings let you tailor RoomSketch3D to how you work. Open them from the round avatar (your initial) at the top right of Home or the editor → Settings. Everything is on one page, grouped into Language, Measurements, Design editor, Floor plan defaults and, at the end, the Danger zone. Changes save to your account straight away and follow you to every device.
Step by step
- 1
Open Settings
Click the avatar at the top right and choose Settings. The card at the top shows your name, the email you're signed in with and a Premium (or Free) badge; see Your account. Back at the top left returns you to wherever you came from: Home or your design.
The whole Settings page, top to bottom. - 2
Language
Pick the language of the app's buttons, menus and catalog: English, French, Spanish, German, Portuguese, Hindi, Russian, Japanese or Marathi. Your designs don't change.
Language — the app's interface language. - 3
Measurement Units
Switch between ft/in (feet and inches) and m/cm (meters and centimeters). This is display only — it never changes your design; a 12-foot wall is the same as a 3.66-meter wall.
Measurement Units — feet/inches or meters/centimeters. - 4
Measurement format
Choose how a length is written. The two buttons show the real notation: 7' 6" (feet and inches) or 90" (inches only); in metric, metres and centimetres or centimetres only. See Switch units.
Measurement format — 7' 6" or a plain 90". - 5
Text size
Four sizes, from 100% up to 150%. It makes the room names, furniture names and dimensions on your plan larger and easier to read.
Text size — labels and dimensions on the plan, up to 150%. - 6
Floor naming
Choose how new floors are named: Ground (Ground floor, First floor, Second floor — UK and most of the world) or 1st (First floor, Second floor, Third floor — US). Floors you already have keep their names.
Floor naming — Ground-floor or 1st-floor convention. - 7
Plan style
Color or Black & white. Black & white redraws the whole plan as a crisp ink-on-paper drawing while you work, and exports match. The 3D view stays in colour. See Black & white plan style.
Plan style — colour or black & white. - 8
Floor plan defaults
The Floor plan defaults section sets the values stamped onto every new plan you create. Leave a field blank to use the standard value; numbers take up to 2 decimal places. Existing plans keep the values they were drawn with. Full walkthrough: Floor plan defaults.
- 9
Grid Spacing
The distance between gridlines on the canvas (default 12 in, or 50 cm in metric). Larger spacing for site planning, smaller for fine detail. The grid is visual only — snapping isn't affected.
Grid Spacing — distance between gridlines on the canvas. - 10
Exterior wall thickness
The default thickness for new exterior walls (default 6.5 in). Thicker for masonry, thinner for lightweight construction. This is only the starting value — once a wall is placed, you can change any wall's thickness individually by selecting it. Existing walls keep their saved thickness.
Exterior wall thickness — applied to new exterior walls. - 11
Interior wall thickness
The default thickness for new interior walls (default 4.5 in). As with exterior walls, this is just the starting value — after placing a wall you can adjust its thickness individually. Existing walls keep their saved thickness; click Reset next to any field to return it to the standard default.
Interior wall thickness — applied to new interior walls. - 12
Danger zone: delete your account
At the very bottom, Delete Account permanently deletes your account and all your designs, after a confirmation. It can't be undone. Read Your account first.
Danger zone — permanent account deletion.
Frequently asked questions
Does changing units change my design?
No — units are display only. The geometry is identical; only the numbers shown change.
Why don't new wall thicknesses apply to my existing plans?
Floor plan defaults stamp onto new plans only. Existing walls keep the thickness they were drawn with — select a wall to change it.
How do I change the app's language?
Avatar (top right) → Settings → Language. RoomSketch3D is fully translated into French, Spanish, German, Portuguese, Hindi, Russian, Japanese, and Marathi — including the catalog and search — and your choice sticks across sessions.
Where did the Electrical Plan Symbols setting go?
It's no longer a setting. Electrical, plumbing, HVAC and other plan symbols are always available in the Symbols tab of the catalog panel, next to Indoor and Outdoor. See Electrical plans.
Where did Profile go?
It's part of Settings: your name, email and Premium status are in the card at the top, Language is the first section and Delete Account is at the bottom. Sign out is in the avatar menu itself.
How do I make the text and dimension labels bigger?
Settings → Text size. It scales every label on the plan — room names, furniture names, and the dimension chains — up to 150%, and the choice is saved to your account so it follows you to every device. On a phone or tablet you can also use the device's accessibility zoom or larger-text setting; the app respects it.
