Draw a floor plan in four steps
Start from the floor plan template — exterior walls, a few interior partitions, and room labels are already placed. Stretch the outline to your measured dimensions, then move or add interior walls with the line tool.
Label each room with the text tool, run dimension lines along the walls that matter, and fill in the title block. For a basement development, use the basement layout template instead; it starts with a rec room, bedroom, mechanical room, and egress note.

Scaled, measured, and readable
Every wall you draw snaps to a grid where one square is one foot, so proportions stay honest. Dimension lines display feet-and-inches lengths automatically, and selecting any room shape shows its area — handy for flooring, paint, and drywall quantities.
That's the difference between a floor plan creator and a general sketch app: your drawing carries real measurements the crew can build from and the estimate can price from.
Made for remodel conversations
A simple before/after pair of floor plans is one of the strongest sales tools a remodeler has. Draw the existing layout, save it, duplicate the drawing, and adjust the copy to show the proposed layout. Clients understand two clean drawings faster than any verbal description, and change orders shrink when everyone signed off on the same picture.
Floor plans drawn for quoting and planning don't replace architectural drawings where those are required — check local rules for structural work.
