# Draw a Floor Plan
## Draw Floor Plan Directly
In Archisketch, it's okay even if you don't have a floor plan for your house or don't have a floor plan at all.\
Using the measurements you've taken yourself, you can easily draw your home in 3D.\
When you enter a blank project, you'll see the Floor Plan Drawing tab on the left, where you can easily draw the floor plan.
### Drawing Walls
When you start Drawing Walls (shortcut: L), you'll see the settings window that appears at the top.
❶ Select wall reference: When drawing a wall, you can choose based on the center, interior wall, or exterior wall.
❷ Set wall thickness: You can set the thickness of the wall. The default is set to 200.
❸ Snap mode: When Snap mode is turned on, yellow guide lines are activated to help you draw walls more easily. You can also turn Snap mode off and draw freely.
❹ Orthographic mode: When Orthographic mode is turned on, you can draw walls only at 90-degree angles.
When drawing walls, the floor surface is automatically created only when the ends of the points meet.\
If the wall ends are not connected, the unconnected points are shown in yellow.
### Drawing Rooms
Using room drawing, you can draw floor plans more easily and quickly.\
If you need to draw a floor plan from scratch, we recommend making full use of the room drawing feature.
* Select the Room Drawing (shortcut: F) tool.
* Click the starting point with the mouse on the grid screen.
* Click the ending point to create a room of the desired size. At this time, the size is determined automatically according to the grid.
* To enter exact dimensions, before clicking the ending point, with the dimension numbers active, enter the horizontal length on the keyboard, then press Enter or Tab, enter the vertical length, and press Enter again to complete the room.
* Press Esc to exit the mode.
### Adjusting Wall Length
You can easily adjust the size by grabbing the wall with the mouse cursor and dragging it.\
After clicking a wall, you can drag the mouse to expand or shrink the wall to the desired size.
Not only walls, but you can also grab a vertex and move it to create rooms in various shapes other than rectangles.\
Click and drag the vertex you want to freely adjust the room's size and shape.
You can adjust the wall length by directly entering the desired number.\
Click the wall that is perpendicular to the wall whose length you want to change, and the numeric input field for the wall to be changed will be activated, allowing you to enter the desired value and press Enter to adjust the length.
### Splitting Walls
Using the wall splitting feature, you can edit walls in more diverse ways and design creative spaces.\
Click a wall to display the wall splitting tool.
1. You can vertically separate finishing materials and manage them individually.
2. You can easily delete unwanted wall sections by breaking the wall.

## Frequently Asked Questions
### Can I make curved walls?
It is difficult to set a wall surface into a curved form, but you can use the \[Split Wall] feature to implement the wall body like a curved surface.\
If you split the wall multiple times, you can create a shape closer to a curved surface, and by adjusting and placing the width of fixed-window products, you can also create effects like panoramic windows.
### Can I reverse the floor plan direction?
You can find the floor plan reversal feature under Floor Plan Drawing > Reverse Floor Plan.\
Both left-right and top-bottom reversal are possible.
### Can I print the floor plan?
A floor plan printing feature is not provided.\
Instead, we recommend using the screen capture feature in 2D mode to save the image.
