(F)OSS 2D floor planner (sh.itjust.works)

submitted 1 month ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

15 comments fedilink hide all child comments

I’m just looking for a simple 2D floor planner that is easy to use and has the ability to show measurements.

The two most recommended open source tools I’ve seen have shortcomings.

Sweet Home 3D:

Very 3D centric, which over complicates things.
Project was recently acquired/handed off to a company and the iOS version is published by “AI Photo Editor Lab SRL”

draw.io / diagrams.net:

Very finicky to set up and create floor plans
To display measurements one has to add measurement objects to every wall/object

Does anyone have other recommendations?

I always use gimp. Just define one pixel equals one millimeter, and then make all the furnitures as separate layers so you can move them around separately. Works great!
