How to start your project

Once you have created the new project, add the rooms. Play with the layout of the rooms and connect the spaces through hallways and lobbies. Among these different layouts, you'll have to choose the ideal space for the stairs that will connect the other floors of the house.
How to add a second floor
Once the basic shape of the ground floor is ready, you're ready to build a second floor above it. Adapt the dimensions and structure to fit perfectly with the lower floor.
It couldn't be easier. The Planner 5D editor will tell you the location and dimensions of the different spaces on the ground floor so you can create a perfect layout on the second floor. Play with the upper spaces quickly and easily using the construction section: create rooms, add doors, windows, railings and everything else you might need.
