2D floor plan to 3D: what actually happens.
Last checked
You don't need to redraw anything. Send the floor plan you already have (a JPG or PNG, a PDF, or a DXF from your CAD software) and TruSpace reads the walls, doors, windows and room names from the drawing, sets the scale from the carpet area printed on the sheet, builds the home in 3D, furnishes every room, and sends back a link that opens in any phone browser.
Which files work?
- JPG or PNG: the plan from a brochure or a WhatsApp forward. Clearer is better.
- PDF: the first page is read.
- DXF: exported from AutoCAD or similar. DWG is not read; export it as DXF first.
A sheet with room names and areas printed on it gives the best result, because the printed area is what sets the real size.
What is read from the drawing
- Walls, traced from the drawn lines, with their real thickness.
- Doors and windows, from the gaps and symbols in those walls.
- Rooms, from the names printed in them: bedroom, kitchen, toilet, balcony, pooja and so on.
- Scale, from the carpet area or room sizes printed on the sheet.
What is designed, not read
A floor plan does not say what goes in a room, so that part is design. Each home gets one style (palette, wall colours, floors, fabrics, lighting), and furniture is placed to published clearance standards: walkways past a dining chair, the distance from a sofa to a screen, room for a wardrobe door to open before it meets the bed. It is staging to show how the space works, not a promise of the furniture a buyer gets.
What the buyer can do with it
Orbit the home, pull back to a dollhouse view, take the roof off, switch floors, see it at night with the lights on, stand on the balcony, and walk through at eye level, where walls and furniture stop you and the stairs can be climbed. Buyers can also move, swap or remove furniture and send their version back as a link.
What to check before you share it
The reading is close, not guaranteed exact. Before a unit type goes to buyers, compare it with your own drawings: room sizes, door positions, which way the balcony faces. If anything is off, it is corrected and rebuilt. It is a sales visualisation, not a construction drawing. Curved walls come back straight.
Can I do it myself for free?
Yes, with a home-design app, by redrawing the plan wall by wall and furnishing it by hand. That works for one flat. A builder with many unit types usually wants the plan read for them, a consistent look across the project, and one link per unit type that opens without an app.
