What Options Do I Have When I Download or Print My Floor Plans?

When you draw your floor plan in RoomSketcher, you’re working at real-world 1:1 scale — meaning the digital plan matches actual sizes. When downloading or printing, you can then choose various formats, sizes as well as a scale (e.g., 1/2"=1'-0"). This ensures measurements stay accurate and the layout prints correctly to scale.

This video takes you through the steps, or read along for all details.

RoomSketcher offers a wide variety of options for downloading and printing your floor plans. Learn more below.

Letterhead options: 

• Letterhead: Standard - The floor plan is downloaded on a letterhead, in no specific scale. 
• Letterhead: Keep Relative Size - available for multi-level projects; the relative size between the floor plans for each level is maintained, i.e. the level with the smallest footprint in the project will also have the smallest footprint when saved/printed.
• Letterhead: Combined - available for multi-level projects; use this option if you want all levels of your project to appear together on one page.
  • Example: If your project has two floors, choosing this option will generate one page showing both floor plans together.

Scale

If you want to save your floor plans to a certain scale, use a letterhead options that offer a specific Scale. For example, choose Scale 1/2" = 1'-0" if you want ½ inch on the drawing represents 1 foot in real life.  

The scale options are only available in PDF format and when choosing Save to Disk. Note that the scale options are not available on tablets.

If you see Invalid Paper Size as file name, then the scale you have chosen doesn't fit on the paper size. Try to use a larger paper size and/or different scale.

Once you have saved your scaled floor plan to your computer or Mac, you can print the PDF. Please note that you need to choose Actual size in your printer options to get the correct scaling. If you do not choose this option, your printer will calculate the scaling size wrong because of the predefined page margins.
