Key Features for Apartment Planning

2D and 3D Planning in One Tool

You can start with a simple 2D layout and instantly switch to 3D visualization. The software allows you to draw accurate wall outlines, define rooms, and plan structures such as partitions, ceilings, and staircases.

• Real-time switching between 2D and 3D

• Layer management for structure, furniture, measurements

• High precision with both metric and imperial units

This flexibility means that you can focus on technical accuracy in 2D and immediately see how it feels spatially in 3D.

Drag-and-Drop Furniture and Fixtures

Furnishing your apartment is easy. The software includes a comprehensive library of items, from kitchen modules to living room seating. You simply drag elements into the layout and position them as needed.

Categories include:

Each element can be resized and rotated. Materials and colors are also customizable.

Tip: Try placing different layouts and test them in 3D mode to find the most efficient and aesthetic setup.

Realistic 3D Visualization

In 3D mode, you can virtually walk through your apartment and evaluate how each room feels. The rendering engine simulates lighting and shadows, and even reflects materials like glass or tiles. This allows you to assess:

• The visual flow between rooms

• Natural light effects based on window placement

• Color harmony between walls, floors, and furniture

The 3D view can be rotated freely, zoomed in and out, and displayed from a human eye perspective or bird’s-eye view.

Easy Measurement and Scaling

Accuracy is crucial in apartment planning. Plan7Architect lets you enter exact dimensions for every wall, window, and room. Units can be adjusted at any time.

What you can measure:

• Room area (e.g., 12.5 m² or 135 ft²)

• Wall lengths and angles

• Ceiling height and slope

• Window and door positions

These measurements appear dynamically as you draw, helping you avoid costly planning mistakes.

Save, Export, and Share Your Design

Once your apartment plan is complete, you can export it in various formats. This is particularly useful if you want to show it to contractors, architects, or family members.

Export options include:

• High-resolution 2D floor plans (PDF, PNG, JPG)

• 3D models and walkthrough videos

• Project files for backup or editing later

You can also print plans to scale and include furniture and dimensions in the layout.
