Get started

Draw your first plan: walls, exact lengths, and where your work is saved.

How do I build a floor plan from Spaces?

Choose Start with spaces, arrange named Spaces and resolve their boundaries, then use Build plan to create ordinary editable walls and rooms.

How to draw a wall

Press W, click where the wall starts, click where it ends. Each further click continues the chain, and clicking back on the first corner closes the outline.

How to draw a wall to an exact length

Start drawing, then type the number. It goes into the Length field of the readout by the cursor, and Enter places the point exactly there.

Selecting, moving and deleting

Press V for the select tool. Click to select, drag a box for several, drag to move, arrow keys to nudge, Delete to remove.

Snapping, the grid and the reference point

The cursor is pulled to real geometry first — endpoints, corners, intersections, midpoints — and falls back to the 100 mm grid. G toggles the grid, Shift locks to 45°.

Keyboard shortcuts

Every key the Gridsnap editor uses — tools, editing, the numeric tracker while drawing, and moving around the 3D view.

Where your plans are saved (and how to get them back)

Without an account, plans live in your browser and autosave as you draw. Nothing is uploaded unless you sign in and sync, or make a share link. Export the Gridsnap file for a real backup.

Panning and zooming — mouse, trackpad and pinch

A mouse wheel zooms, a two-finger trackpad drag pans, and a pinch or ⌘/ctrl+scroll always zooms. If your device is read wrongly, set it by hand under ⚙ → Navigation (this device).

Open the editor. Draw the first wall.

No download, no account, no watermark. Your plan is measurable, printable and shareable from the first click.
