Set the Scene
You can create a custom scene using the wall. Click the Add Wall tool in the upper left part of the SmartPanel to the left of your drawing area. Click once in your work area to begin drawing a wall segment, drag your mouse, and then click again to complete your wall segment. You can continue adding more walls to create a closed outline. A circle will appear at the end of a wall to help you connect it to close the outline. Click Esc to exit out of wall drawing mode.
Or you can drag and drop any of the pre-built standard room outlines.
Easily edit the scene using SmartDraw's powerful floor plan features. Add walls, windows, doors, furniture, and more. Learn more about drawing floor plans.
