Planned for Future

Is there any way to import a two dimensional floor plan into Augment

Can you import a 2D image, say a designer’s floor plan, and lay it on the floor to help position stock flats, furniture etc.?

  • Technically no but you can do it relatively simply. Bring in a Square shape from the library, Import a photo of your floorplan into Materials, set that as the material for the square, set the repeat texture (or equivelant) to something tht means its shown one itme on the plane, adjust the planes size to meet your plans aspect ratio. Then add a cube or square object, set the size to say 1m, and reference that to something that is meant to be one meter in your plan, scale up and down accordingly.

  • Hi Stuart, this is on the todo list for a future release of Augment3d but will not be part of the first release.

  • I submitted this as a question because I thought it was my failing rather than the software’s failing that I couldn’t find this capability. Our designer supplies drawings in PDF or DWG format, but even a JPEG photo of a paper drawing might be worth importing.
