Export formats
Updated 3 min readWorks without an account
Most exports come from Export in the top bar, in up to six tabs, and need a free account by default. A few come from the view that makes them, with no account needed: sections, elevations, videos, schedules and the backup of every project.
From the Export dialog
| Tab | Format | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| 2D plan | PNG | The whole floor with dimensions, room names and areas, on white, 1600, 3000 or 4500 px wide. Optional grid, notes and north arrow. |
| 2D plan | An A4 sheet at the largest standard scale that fits, with a scale bar and area summary. Optionally the building summary and a page per section line. | |
| 3D image | PNG | HD, Full HD or 4K. Orbit and dollhouse views are framed to fit; walk mode exports what you see. |
| Print set | A sheet per floor with a title block, on Letter, Tabloid, ARCH C, ARCH D, A4, A3, A2 or A1 (starting on the project’s paper), at Auto or a fixed scale. Optional building summary with section and elevation pages, schedules and budget, and a 3D view. | |
| CAD and 3D | SVG | A layered vector drawing for Figma, Illustrator, Inkscape or a laser cutter. |
| CAD and 3D | DXF | A CAD drawing (R12) with a layer per kind of object, in centimetres. This floor, or every floor side by side. |
| CAD and 3D | glTF (.glb) | A 3D model of every floor (metres, y up) for Blender and other 3D tools. |
| View-only page | HTML | One file with a pan-and-zoom plan of every floor, a 3D orbit view and the room list. Opens offline in any browser. |
| Project file | .floorgen.json | Every floor and design, with traced images. Import it from the projects page. |
Print set scales
Auto picks the largest standard scale that fits the paper. The fixed scales are 1:50, 1:100 and 1:200 in metric, and 1/4″, 1/8″ and 1/16″ = 1′-0″ in feet and inches. A floor that doesn’t fit at a fixed scale is printed at Auto instead, with a warning. See Export a print set.
From other places
| Export | Format | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Section | The section view: one section line on a sheet. | |
| Elevation | PDF, SVG, PNG or DXF | The Elevations view: the façade on a Letter sheet (imperial) or an A4 sheet (metric), as layered SVG, as a PNG image, or as DXF in centimetres. |
| Tour video | WebM | The 3D camera views bar: a recording of the fly-through tour. |
| Walkthrough video | MP4 or WebM | The 3D camera views bar: every room and round the outside, with captions. 1920 × 1080 at 30 fps by default; landscape, portrait or square; 720p to 1440p; 30 or 60 fps. |
| Room schedule | CSV | The plan summary chip at the top left: Export schedule (CSV). |
| Schedules | CSV | Schedules and budget in the account menu: Copy as CSV copies doors, windows, finishes, furniture and budget. |
| All projects | JSON | The projects page: Back up all projects saves every project in one file. |
Questions
Which format should I send to a contractor?
A print set PDF for printing, or a view-only page they can open on a phone. Send DXF if they work in CAD.
Do exports have a watermark?
Paid plans export without a watermark. On the free plan, exports may carry a FloorGen watermark, usually a small badge. A line under the export options says when an export carries it: in the Export dialog, by the elevation and section downloads, and in the Record step of the walkthrough video. A tour recorded from the 3D view’s saved views has no line of its own and carries the walkthrough video’s mark.
Which floors does an export include?
The 2D plan shows the open floor. SVG, DXF and the print set can cover this floor or every floor. glTF and the view-only page include every floor.
