2D floor plans with real dimensions, drawn by AI

A good 2D floor plan has wall thicknesses, door swings, windows, dimension chains, room names and areas, and prints to scale. Plan Chat draws exactly that from a description or a sketch, as a CAD drawing you can edit, and exports it as DXF, DWG or a PDF sheet with a title block. The 3D view is built from the same 2D plan.

CAD floor plan drawn by the AI drafter: structural grid, hatched walls, doors with swings, dimension chains, room tags with areas, room schedule and legend — A family house, 12 × 10 m, drawn from a short brief in about three minutes. Watch it being drawn.

How it works

1. Describe or sketch it
Type the rooms and sizes, or attach a sketch, a photo or a screenshot of an existing plan.
2. Watch the 2D plan appear
Grid, walls, doors, windows, furniture, dimensions and room tags are drawn one after another.
3. Print or export
Download a PDF on A3 at 1:50 or 1:100, or a DXF / DWG for further work.

Architectural conventions

Hatched cut walls, door swings, window symbols, grid bubbles, north arrow and a legend, the way an architect’s plan looks.

Dimensions you can trust

Overall and per-bay dimension chains and room areas are measured from the drawing itself.

Black on white for print

The PDF sheet is plotted black on white to a true scale with project, drawing, scale, date and version in the title block.

What you get

DXF	Layered, opens in AutoCAD, BricsCAD, DraftSight, LibreCAD, QCAD, Rhino, SketchUp (import) and Revit (link).
DWG	AutoCAD 2010 format, so every AutoCAD from 2010 on and most DWG-compatible programs open it.
PDF	A3 landscape sheet plotted to a true scale (1:50, 1:100 …) with a border and a title block.

Plus a 3D model built from the same walls and openings, photoreal renders of any version, and every version kept with its own link.

Layers in the drawing

A-WALL	walls, with A-WALL-PATT for the cut hatch
A-DOOR / A-GLAZ	doors with swings, windows
A-GRID	structural grid with bubbles (A, B, C … / 1, 2, 3 …)
A-ANNO-DIMS	dimension chains, overall and per bay
A-ANNO-TEXT	room names, numbers and areas, room schedule
A-FURN / A-FLOR-FIXT	furniture, kitchen and bathroom fixtures
A-FLOR-STRS / A-SITE / A-PLNT	stairs, site elements, trees

Tips for the best result

For an existing home, a photo of the plan is the fastest start.
For a new design, give the total area and the room list.
Ask for furniture to be added or removed depending on what the plan is for.
Choose metres or feet before you start.

Questions

How do I make a 2D floor plan with dimensions?

Describe the space or upload a sketch in Plan Chat. An AI drafter draws a 2D floor plan with wall thicknesses, doors, windows, dimension chains, room names and areas, which you download as PDF, DXF or DWG.

Can AI draw a 2D house plan?

Yes. Plan Chat draws 2D house plans as CAD drawings from a written brief or a sketch, and you can change them by chat or with the built-in CAD tools.

Can I print the plan to scale?

Yes. The PDF is an A3 landscape sheet plotted to a true architectural scale (such as 1:50 or 1:100) with a border and title block.

Can I see the 2D plan in 3D?

Yes. The 3D model is built from the CAD walls, doors and windows of the same drawing, so it always matches the plan, including your manual edits.

Is there a free 2D floor plan maker?

Some new accounts can try their first drawing free while the drafter is in testing; downloading its files needs a plan (from $12 a month). Ready-made house plans with free PDF and DXF downloads are at https://floorplan.ai-architectures.com/house-plans.

Try it with your own plan

Drawings, changes and renders use credits from an AI Architectures plan, from $12 a month; DXF, DWG and PDF downloads are included. See pricing.
