End of Life for Web Editor

After December 2020, it will no longer be possible to use Web Editor since Adobe will retire Flash. You can of course still edit and create projects with the RoomSketcher App. The RoomSketcher App gives you access to better usability, new features, and other helpful upgrades. Switch to the app now!

You can add outside wall measurements to 2D Floor Plans. This is one way to show the exterior dimensions for a project.
