Customize room flooring

Elena Damiani
  • Updated

3CAD Next allows you to customize room flooring in the planner after it has been created or inserted. You can adjust the floor shape, define variants such as material or finish, or remove the floor entirely.

 

      Important!

  • Standard rooms include a predesigned floor that you can edit.
  • Custom rooms require you to create the floor before applying customizations.
  • Floor design and wall design are independent. Changes to one do not affect the other.

 

Prerequisite: A floor must already be present in the room. To create one, see Insert flooring in the planner.

 

Customize the flooring

Adjust the flooring shape

  1. Select the flooring.
     
  2. Click one of the anchor points (circular handles at each corner of the floor).


     
  3. Drag the anchor to adjust the shape.
     
  4. Release the mouse button to apply the change.
     
  5. To refine the shape, click a + icon along the perimeter to add new anchor points.


     
  6. Continue adjusting anchors as required.
     
  7. Click Projects, then Save Project.

Note: Flooring shape is independent from walls and ceiling. Each element must be adjusted separately.
 

Set the floor variants

Floor variants encompass all settings available for customizing each flooring type. They may provide an extensive range of customization options, including material, color, and surface slope.

Each flooring type includes a specific set of variants determined by its characteristics. For example, a step-up floor includes a “thickness” variant, whereas a standard floor does not.

All room-building items, including flooring, have been enriched with a variety of options in their Variant sections, enabling users to fine-tune their appearance and achieve a more realistic representation.
 

How do I set flooring variants?

  1. Select the flooring.
     
  2. Click the Catalog button to open the Library.
     
  3. Click Variants.

  5. Click Projects, then Save Project.

Note: This action is available in both 2D and 3D views.
