Types of floor plans

There are various types of floor plans to be used for different purposes.

Rendering of a virtual interior

3D FLOOR PLAN

A 3D floor plan is a view of an architectural space in three dimensions. By viewing a 3D floor plan one can get a better understanding of the size, layout and proportions of a space.

TECHNICAL FLOOR PLAN

Technical floor plans offer specific details and measurements showing the relationships between rooms and other spaces in an architectural or building engineering project. They’re drawn to scale and typically show only one level of a structure per drawing.

HUMANISED FLOOR PLAN

More realistic than other types of plans, humanised floor plans are best suited for presentation settings. In architecture and building engineering use cases, they show how an environment will look once the space is complete, including furniture, sinks and other objects.
