What is the best free floor plan software?

Coohom and Planner 5D have permanent free plans. Zlendo Realty offers a 14-day full-access trial.

Can I create a floor plan on my phone?

Most professional tools are optimised for desktop. Zlendo Realty works on tablets but a desktop is recommended for accuracy.

How long does it take to create a floor plan?

With AI tools: 20–40 minutes from scratch, or 5–10 minutes from an uploaded sketch. The 3D conversion adds under 2 minutes.

Do I need to know architecture to create a floor plan?

No. Modern AI floor plan tools are designed for non-architects.

What file formats can I import?

PDF, JPEG/PNG, and DWG/DXF. Zlendo Realty's AI processes all these formats automatically.

How do I add vastu to my floor plan?

Zlendo Realty's AI Vastu module analyses your floor plan in real time as you design. Other tools require a separate vastu consultation.

Step 1: Choose Your Floor Plan Method

Two starting points: (A) Upload an existing floor plan — PDF, DWG, or image. (B) Draw from scratch using the online editor with smart snap features.

Step 2: Set the Right Dimensions and Scale

Set your site dimensions before placing rooms. Standard Indian 2BHK: 800–1,200 sq ft. 3BHK: 1,200–1,800 sq ft. Standard wall thickness: 230mm exterior, 115mm interior.

Step 3: Place Rooms and Walls

Start with exterior walls, then interior room dividers. Per vastu: kitchen in the east/south-east, bathrooms in the west/north-west, bedrooms in the private zone.

Step 4: Add Doors, Windows, and Openings

Main entrance should face north, east, or north-east per vastu. Standard Indian door widths: main 1,050–1,200mm, internal 900mm, bathroom 750mm.

Step 5: Convert to 3D (the AI Step)

Once the 2D floor plan is complete, click convert. In Zlendo Realty, AI generates a full 3D model in under 60 seconds — replacing hours of manual 3D modelling in traditional tools.

Step 6: Customise and Add Furnishings

Place furniture starting with largest pieces. Add ceiling heights (standard 2,750mm in India), flooring materials, and wall finishes. Vastu tip: avoid beds under beams, keep north-east corner light.

Step 7: Generate Renders and Share

Generate photorealistic renders with Zlendo Realty's 60-second AI render engine. Share via direct link — no download required. Export floor plan, renders, and vastu report in one package.
