First Room

Create your first room

Use Room Planner to draw the room where your track will stand. Have its measured width and depth ready.

1. Open “Room Planner” and select “New room plan”.
2. Enter a name, such as “Hobby room”.
3. Choose a room shape. Use “Rectangle” for a simple room.
4. Enter the dimensions in the units shown. Look at the preview.
5. Click “Create room plan”. For “Polygon”, draw the room outline next.
6. Once the room is complete, select “Save room plan”.

The room outline appears on the workspace. Find your saved plan under “Room plans”.

If something goes wrong

If a dimension is rejected, check its value and the unit shown. If the room is out of view, select “Fit view”.

Choose a room shape

• Rectangle: a room with no recesses.
• L shape: a room with one corner cut away.
• U shape: a room with a recess between two sides.
• Polygon: an outline you draw yourself on the workspace.

For L and U shapes, also enter the recess dimensions. Compare the preview with your room before creating the plan.

Use your room's measurements

For a room measuring 6 × 4 metres, enter 600 × 400 when the fields use centimetres. In imperial mode, lengths are entered in inches. Always check the unit beside the field.

You can also enter wall thickness and room height. Wall thickness changes how the walls are drawn. The room plan is a view from above.

Next, add tables and platforms or add doors and windows.

Reopen a saved room

Open “Room plans” and select your saved plan for editing. Save any changes before finishing.

If a room plan is missing

First make sure you are using the same browser on the same device where you saved it. Some browsers offer separate profiles, for example for different people. If you use these, open the profile where you saved the room plan. Another profile, a private window or another device does not automatically receive your plans.

Use the room when planning your track

Use “Edit room contour” to adjust the outline. Lock objects once positioned so that you do not move them accidentally. Hiding an object does not remove it.

See From room to track to use the room when planning your layout.
