# Draw floor plan
## Draw a Floor Plan Manually
In Archisketch, it’s okay if you don’t have a floor plan for your home or don’t have one on hand.\
You can easily draw your home in 3D using measurements you take yourself.\
When you enter a blank project, you’ll see the Floor Plan tab on the left, where you can easily draw the floor plan.
### Draw 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 walls, you can choose center, inner wall, or outer wall as the reference.
❷ Set wall thickness: You can set the wall thickness. 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 Orthogonal mode: When orthogonal mode is turned on, walls can only be drawn at 90-degree angles.
When drawing walls, the floor area is automatically created only when the ends of the points meet.\
If the wall ends are not connected, the unconnected points will be shown in yellow.
### Drawing Curved Walls
Not only straight walls, but **curved walls**can also be created. They are used to represent round spaces like stadiums or walls with rounded ends.
#### Three ways to create curved walls
1. **Draw directly** — In the drawing tool **Drawing Curved Walls**select it and draw it right away.
2. **Convert existing wall** — Click the wall, then **convert it to a curved wall in \[Wall Details]**.
3. **Right-click menu** — Right-click an existing wall and **curved walls** select the item.
You can click Draw Plan > Draw Curved Wall, or click a created wall and change it to a curved wall in \[Wall Details].
You can convert a straight wall to a curved wall using the right-click menu of a created wall.
#### Adjust curvature
After creating a curved wall **adjust the degree of curvature**to create various shapes such as stadium-like spaces or rounded ends.
{% hint style="warning" %}
**Please note** — Currently, curved walls **only support outward convex shapes**. They cannot yet be applied to inward concave walls or partition walls shared by two rooms. (This is a limitation for stability and may be expanded later.)\
{% endhint %}
#### Frequently Asked Questions
* **Can curved walls be changed back to straight walls?** Yes, you can change them back to straight walls in Wall Details or from the right-click menu.
* **I need a concave curve.** Currently, only convex shapes are supported. If needed, please divide the space layout to express it.
### Draw Rooms
Using Draw Room makes it easier and faster to draw a floor plan.\
If you need to draw a floor plan from scratch, we recommend making full use of the Draw Room feature.
* Select the Draw Room tool (shortcut: F).
* Click the starting point with your mouse on the grid screen.
* Click the ending point to create a room of the desired size. At this point, the size is automatically determined according to the grid.
* To enter exact dimensions, before clicking the ending point, with the dimension number activated, type the horizontal length on the keyboard and press Enter or Tab, then enter the vertical length and press Enter again to complete the room.
* Press Esc to exit the mode.
### Adjust wall length
You can easily resize by grabbing a wall with the mouse cursor and dragging it.\
Click a wall, then drag the mouse to expand or shrink the wall to the desired size.
Not only walls, but by grabbing and moving vertices, you can create rooms in various shapes that are not rectangles.\
Click and drag the desired vertex to adjust the room’s size and shape freely.
You can adjust the wall length by directly entering the number you want.\
Click the wall that is orthogonal to the wall whose length you want to change, and the number 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.
### Split Wall
Using the Split Wall feature lets you edit walls in more diverse ways and enables creative spatial design.\
When you click a wall, the Split Wall tool appears.
1. Finishing materials can be separated vertically and managed individually.
2. You can cut walls to easily delete unwanted wall sections.
**Shortcut**
| Function | Shortcut 1 | Shortcut 2 |
| -------------------- | ---------------- | ---------- |
| Draw Walls | L | |
| Draw Rooms | F | |
| Delete Wall | D | |
| Delete selected wall | Delete | Backspace |
| Delete selected room | Delete | Backspace |
| Undo | Ctrl + Z | |
| Redo | Ctrl + Shift + Z | |
## Frequently Asked Questions
### Can I create curved walls?
It is difficult to set wall surfaces into a curved shape, but by using the \[Split Wall] feature, you can implement the wall as if it were a curved surface.\
By splitting the wall multiple times, you can create a shape close to a curved surface, and by adjusting the width of fixed window products and placing them, you can also create effects like a panorama window.
### Can the floor plan direction be reversed?
You can find the floor plan flip function under Draw Plan > Flip Plan.\
Both left-right flip and top-bottom flip are available.
### Can I print the floor plan?
A floor plan printing feature is not provided.\
Instead, we recommend saving the image using the screen capture function in 2D mode.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.archisketch.com/guide/user-en/make-project/draw-floor-plan.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
