  3. The complete gym, realistic

    108 pieces of gym equipment in seven groups: cardio, strength machines, free weights, racks and benches, functional training, boxing and studio, and facilities. They are drawn on the plan the way architects draw them and look real in 3D and the walkthrough. Suggest furniture lays out a home gym or a full club with safe space around every machine.

  4. NewAI

    AI Planning add-on: ask about your plan

    Ask about the plan you are drawing, such as whether the kitchen is well placed, and get answers with changes you can preview, apply and undo. Unusual spaces like a pickleball court get their usual size and furniture.

  5. NewAI

    AI Planning add-on: floor plans and alternatives

    With the AI Planning add-on, get a complete floor plan from your plot, rooms and wishes, with a reason for every room, or two or three alternative layouts side by side. You check it and use what you like.

  6. Improved3D and walkthrough

    A person walks the tour through every room

    Doors swing open, a person walks from room to room on every floor, and the camera frames each room like a photograph. Rooms without a way in get one-click doors.

  7. Improved3D and walkthrough

    A richer 3D view with room labels

    Textured floors, soft shadows, door frames and windows with sills, every piece of furniture shaped like itself, and each room’s name and area as a label you can switch off.

  8. See your plan in 3D

    Open the 3D view to turn the furnished plan around and see it from the top, the front or a corner.

  9. Location suggestions: sun, climate and surroundings

    Pin the site on a map and set north and the roads. Smart Planning reads the sun and the climate, notices busy roads and parks nearby, and suggests where each room should go. Vastu is an optional switch.

  10. Walk through the house

    Walk inside your plan in 3D with the keyboard or a joystick, or play a guided tour that visits every room.

  11. Every floor of a building on one page

    Add floors as tabs, see the floor below faintly as a guide, and view every floor stacked in 3D. Reports total each floor and the whole building.

  12. Guided design, step by step

    Plan steps follow the building type and the rooms wanted: the entrance first, then each room joined to the one before with a door or an opening. Suggest furniture for a room in one click.

  13. 212 pieces of furniture and 14 building types

    A much bigger library (gym, pool and garden, office, shop and restaurant, kids), 74 kinds of space, and a New plan form that suggests a plot size for the building type.

  14. ImprovedSmart Planning

    Easier drawing: names on hover, an eraser and size handles

    Point at anything to see its name and size, finish a wall the way you like, erase just part of a wall, and resize furniture by hand with live distances to the walls.

  15. Smart suggestions and furniture at real sizes

    After each room Smart Planning suggests what to design next, where and how big. Furniture comes at real sizes, with the right TV size and sofa length, and checks catch problems like a blocked door.

  16. Smart Planning: draw a floor plan

    Draw walls, rooms, doors, windows and stairs on a precise canvas. Lengths and areas show as you draw, and the plot’s used and remaining area is always in view.

    We checked every page on phones, tablets and computers, in three languages, light and dark and with large text, and fixed what didn’t fit or read well.

  18. Reports, Messages and Files

    Charts for money, projects and hours; one inbox for every project’s messages; and every file across your projects in one library.

    Invite people with a link on WhatsApp or Telegram, see who can do what, and give your stage templates pictures and task lists.

    A clients page with filters, sorting and Excel export, and notes you can speak instead of typing.

  22. ImprovedProjects and clients

    Meetings, site visits and deadlines in one calendar. Hold video meetings with SeeUAll, keep the minutes and send agreements to sign.

  28. NewClient portal

    A free portal for every client

    Invite clients and guests to a project. They follow the stages, see the drawings, ask for changes, approve and pay from their phone.

  29. Drawings with versions, markup and approvals

    Upload drawings and 3D models, mark them up, compare versions and handle change requests. Clients approve with a one-time code and a signed record is kept.

  30. Projects, stages, tasks and time

    Keep every project with its client, stages and tasks. A timer follows you from the phone to the computer, site visits are logged, and Home shows what needs attention.

    Set up your studio in a short wizard: your details, an ID check, the studio, your cities and services. Then invite your team, each with the right role.
