Project Design Workflow

The most part of your work will be done in the 2D view. The 3D view is usually used at the end - basically, to choose materials, match colors, adjust light and, finally, take pictures of your interior design.

Live Interior 3D designs are made up of objects: walls, floors, ceilings, openings, furniture, lighting sources, etc. You can draw simple objects, like walls, floor and ceilings, by using the corresponding tools. More complicated objects can be taken from the built-in library.

You can add, delete, move, resize objects and apply materials (textures) to them.

The major steps of the design process are as follows:

1. Opening or creating a project
2. Setting up the project
3. Drawing walls
4. Adding floors and ceilings
5. Adding doors and windows
6. Adding furniture and other objects
7. Setting up the lighting
8. Applying materials to objects
9. Adding cameras
10. Printing a 2D plan, making pictures from a 3D view, creating QTVR and movies

Actually, the order of the steps may be different, as the design process usually consists of iterations. Some steps may be unnecessary.
For example, you can draw all the walls, insert all the furniture, and then change their materials. Or you can change materials right after adding a new object.
