Click "Floors" button in the toolbar and then click "Add" to add a new floor. To see multiple floors together in 3d mode, click menu button and select floors to show.
Click "Floors" button in the toolbar and then click the button at the top of the screen that shows current height to change it. To adjust height of a single interior wall created with the "Walls" button, click it to select and then click the "edit" button at the top of the screen.
Click interior edge of a wall to select it and then use the second button at the top of the screen to set thickness. Application remembers this value and will apply it when creating new rooms.
To set thickness of all walls, click "Project" button in the toolbar and modify "Exterior wall thickness" field.
You can use lines from "Annotation" category in the symbol toolbar to mark walls. Drag a line close to a wall and it will snap to the wall. Snap distance is configured in the settings: "Spacing between walls and snapped lines" field.

It is not possible to import floor plans from other apps and edit them in Floor Plan Creator.
You can import PNG and JPEG image of a floor plan and use it as a background to recreate your plan faster. Click "Image background" button at the bottom of "Structure" category in the symbol toolbar and pick the file. When it appears on screen, click "Scale" button in the toolbar to set size of the image.
For a single in-app purchase, you can have only one cloud account active. Creating new account disables synchronization on previous accounts.
If you want to switch to an old account, please contact me.
Your purchase is assigned to your Google account. When you switch to a new account, Google Play temporarily deativates your purchases. Please switch to the old account in Google Play app to restore purchases.
If you did not switch to a new account, then please try to buy the same upgrade again. Google Play will say that you already bought it before and will activate it immediately. You will not be charged again.
Labels can show automatically calculated values:
Area of doors and windows is excluded from wall area.
Predefined formulas inserted into label text will be replaced with calculated values. Single label can show multiple calculated values mixed with text, for example:
Area: <area>, perimeter: <perimeter>
Click +buttons to insert desired formula at the current cursor position.
Amount of symbols that have specific tag text can be automatically calculated. Tap a symbol to select it and press "Edit" button in the toolbar to display a dialog where you can define tag text. You can use letters, digits and _ (underscore) character as tag text. When symbol is cloned, its tag text is copied to the new instance.
Examples of the count formula:
<count:foo>
<count:foo+bar>
<count:100-2.5*foo+3*(bar+2)>
If tag text defined in <count> formula is not present in any of the symbols then zero is shown. Zero is also shown is case of expression evaluation error.
To verify correctness of tag placement use "Verify tags" from Tools category of the symbol toolbar. Clicking a symbol will highlight all the other symbols having the same tag defined.
This works similarly to symbol count, but instead of calculating amount of symbols, it sums their total length. For example, you could set different tags for electrical wires modeled with lines from Annotation category and calculate bill of materials.
Calculates value of user defined expression. You can use the following variables:
top, bottom
width, height (length), perimeter, area, wallarea, walltotalarea (wall area without doors and windows), doorarea, windowarea
levelperimeter, levelarea, grosslevelarea, levelwallarea, leveldoorarea, levelwindowarea, count, length
When metric units are used, calculation result is displayed in meters. With imperial units selected - in feet. To set an unit for a variable, use one of the following suffixes:
[m], [cm], [m2], [cm2], [in], [ft]
Examples:
<formula:grosslevelarea-levelarea>
<formula:levelarea*3>
<formula:wallarea/12>
<formula:length:wire1[ft]*1.55 + length:wire2[ft]*2.42>
<formula:count:light*2*1.42 + count:switch*4.23>
It is possible to show the dialog to define name of a new room immediately after placing it on a plan. Please go to the settings, click "Default room name" option and insert <roomname> tag, for example:
<roomname>
<area>
Straight stairs and landings can be combined to form any staircase. When two stairs objects touch, application joins them. Appended stairs are also automatically moved to a correct vertical position.
To move the whole staircase or set its height, group all its parts together. Click the first stairs, then click Group button in the toolbar and select remaining parts. Changing height of grouped stairs makes riser height consistent across the entire staircase.
Click Edit button for currently selected stairs to modify tread depth, headroom clearance, its height, vertical position and railing. Opening above stairs is automatically created based on headroom clearance value, but you can also use floor Void objects to insert additional floor openings.
For straight stairs, railing height can be selected to be measured from the top of the first step or from the bottom of the stairs object. The second option is useful when joining multiple stairs objects to form a complex staircase. It will make it easier to connect handrails when height of steps is different between flights of stairs.
