Start with builder's floor plans
I want to begin with a builder's floor plans which I have saved on my computer. The floor plan is one story, is totally complete, no walls need to be drawn, no doors need to be drawn, all rooms and closets are in place including the garage.

My primary objective is to 1) see the plans in 3D; 2) see plan dimensions in ft (imperial); 3) be able to place our own furniture in the floor plans, i.e. measure our existing furniture and place the furniture throughout the floor plan. 4) be able to pick various floor styles, carpet/tile.

Thank you
Philip Collins

Maybe you should user's guide, it explains pretty much everything you look for.

I'm also trying to do the same thing. I've read the users guide, imported the plans....the scaling i'm having issues with. No matter what measurements are selected, it loads like .1 of an inch. It's unworkable. What am I doing wrong?

Re: Start with builder's floor plans
You probably entered a wrong size during the second step of the Import background image wizard. The entered value must match the size of the line drawn below in the real life, not its size at screen or on the paper you scanned. If the current unit is centimeter or inch, this value will be probably much larger than 100.
