Why Renovation & building use RoomPlot

The features that matter to your job.

  • Capture the building as it is

    Scan with LiDAR or draw by hand, then edit walls, doors, windows and openings after the fact with snapping, a grid and full undo/redo.

  • Scaled, North-oriented plans

    Add a North arrow, scale bar and room-area tags for clean, dimensioned drawings you can put in front of a client or a planning submission.

  • Every floor, before and after

    Add floor after floor and combine them into a single overlaid 2D plan - handy for loft conversions and whole-house projects.

  • Hand a DXF to the office

    Export walls, door swing arcs and window mullions as a DXF in metres, millimetres or feet - it opens in any CAD package, plus an area summary.
