Room layouts with placed furniture appear as a 2D plan alongside a matching 3D preview. Sweet Home 3D lets you draw walls, furnish the rooms, and see how the design looks in three dimensions as you work.
How do you build a room layout?
Start by drawing walls on the 2D plan. Sweet Home 3D uses those lines to form the room in the 3D view, so the two views show the same design from different angles. Its measurement system supports dimensioned layouts, which is handy when fitting a room plan to measured spaces.
Place a door or window on a wall to create an opening there. As the plan takes shape, the 3D preview reflects the changes, making it easier to see how wall placement and openings affect the room.
How do you furnish the plan?
Choose items from the furniture catalog and place them in the plan. Moving pieces around lets you try different arrangements and see their positions in the 3D view before settling on a layout.
- Drag furniture into a room and reposition it on the plan.
- Import additional models in OBJ, LWS, or 3DS format.
What can you change in the 3D design?
The 3D view provides a spatial preview of the floor plan and furniture arrangement. Sweet Home 3D also supports changing surface textures and lighting, so the displayed room can reflect choices beyond the basic placement of walls and objects.

Does the 3D view update as the floor plan changes?
Yes. The 3D view reflects changes made to the 2D plan, including walls and furniture placement.
How do doors and windows fit into a wall?
Place a door or window on a wall in the plan; Sweet Home 3D creates an opening at that position.
Can I add furniture models that are not in the catalog?
Yes. Models can be imported in OBJ, LWS, or 3DS format.
