Room Planner Help

The first time Room Planner launches, a sample plan will open; thereafter, your most recent project will open when you launch the app. You can work in this plan, or open a different drawing. To open a different plan, begin by tapping the Plans button.

• Choose New, then tap on the Square Room, T Room, or L Room to begin a new project with a room of that shape placed in it. Or, select the Empty room to start a blank project.
• Choose Sample, then browse examples of fully-furnished houses, apartments, and rooms which you can modify or use as inspiration for your own new plans.
• To resume work on an existing plan, select Saved and then select one of your previously saved drawings and tap the Open File button. Saving plans is not an option in the free version of the app, Room Planner LE.
• When you are logged in to your Chief Architect Cloud account, you can also open plans saved on the cloud.

In the full version of the app, a selected Saved Plan has a number of file management options:

• The Save button is available when you select the current drawing. Tap it to save the drawing without closing it. Plans are always saved whenever you switch to a different drawing or close the app.
• Tap the Open File button to save and close the current drawing and open the selected Saved Plan.
• Tap the Rename button, then use the keypad to type a new name for the selected file.
• Tap the Copy button to create a copy of the selected plan with the same name, appended with a number 1. Additional copies are numbered sequentially.
• Tap the Delete button to remove the selected plan from the device.
• The Add to Cloud button will be available if the plan has not been saved to the cloud, while the Remove from Cloud button will be available if it has been saved there. For more information about saving to the cloud, see Sharing Your Projects.

To hide the top and bottom menu bars as well as the thumbsticks in 3D Room View, three-finger swipe upward or downward. To show the menu bars again, three-finger swipe again.

To improve the performance of Room Planner’s 3D views, you may want to turn off other apps running in the background.
