Looking for a
RoomSketcher alternative?
RoomSketcher is for drawing and visualizing plans. FloorScan is for analyzing existing plans and getting a takeoff.
Create plans vs analyze plans
RoomSketcher helps you draw floor plans and produce 3D home visuals. FloorScan does the opposite job: you give it an existing plan (PDF or image) and it extracts walls, rooms and surfaces automatically for measurement and estimation. Different tools for different jobs.
Why FloorScan for measurement
Works from existing plans
No redrawing: FloorScan reads the plan you already have and measures it.
Automatic surfaces & openings
Rooms, areas and door/window counts are detected, not drawn by hand.
Pro takeoff exports
Layered DXF and Excel built for quantity takeoff, beyond 2D/3D visuals.

Migration FAQs
Can FloorScan design or draw plans?
No - FloorScan analyzes existing plans for measurement. To create plans or 3D home designs from scratch, RoomSketcher is the right tool.
Can I use both together?
Yes: design in RoomSketcher, then export a PDF and run it through FloorScan for an automated takeoff.
Room-by-room areas come from our floor plan area calculator. Once the plan is read, our AI floor plan redesign suggests new layouts to compare. A pencil survey made on site can be cleaned up with our hand-drawn floor plan to digital converter. Already have the plan as a PDF? You can convert a PDF floor plan to DWG for AutoCAD without redrawing it. Before choosing, compare FloorScan pricing: the Essential trial is free for 14 days.
