What are Styles?

  • Updated

When you create multiple projects, you want your floor plans to always look consistent and professional — without having to adjust settings every time.

With Styles in the RoomSketcher Web Portal, you can do exactly that. Styles let you define default settings for new projects, such as wall thickness, floor materials, and how your 2D and 3D Floor Plans are customized.

Your settings are then applied automatically whenever you create a project or generate a floor plan, giving you consistent, professional results every time.

Watch our short introduction video and see below how to set it up yourself. 
 

 

Where Can I Find Styles?

Styles are available for Pro and Team subscribers in RoomSketcher's web portal.

To access Styles: 

  1. Sign in to web portal at app.roomsketcher.com.
  2. In the left menu, click Styles.

What Are the Different Options in Styles?

Under Styles, there are two sections: New Project Defaults and Floor Plans. Under New Project Defaults you set standards that will be applied when you create a new project. Under Floor Plans, you customize how your generated 2D and 3D Floor Plans look. 

Below, please find more details for all of the options:

New Project Defaults

In New Project Defaults, you set up the standard settings that will be applied to every new project you create.
