A guide to using site plan software

Creating your own site plan has never been so easy! Draw your site plan to scale with HomeByMe in the space of a weekend. The intuitive, user-friendly software interface makes the process simple and fun. No prior design experience is required, you can get started straight away!

Begin by drawing the outline of your site plan, the floor plan of the home and the surrounding garden areas. Add plants, features and furnishings to the outdoor areas and furnish the interior of the home. View the measurements on the plan including surface areas and wall lengths and heights. HomeByMe site plan software can be used for a variety of projects such as landscape design projects, backyard renovations and home improvement projects.

View your site plan in 3D while you arrange, rotate and replace furniture until you find the perfect combination for your design. Once your site plan is complete, you can take a virtual tour in 3D, by switching to the first-person viewing mode. Move the avatar around your home and garden to visualize your project in 3D. Generate realistic 3D rendered images of your project and 360º views to share with your friends, family and project associates.

Types of Site Plans

2D Site Plans

2D site plans are great for providing an outline and broad view of a property as seen from above. Both indoor and outdoor features are included, such as staircases, doorways, main furniture and outdoor plants. Choose whether or not to show measurements and surface areas on your 2D site plan.

3D Site Plans

View your site plan in 3D to visualize your design in more detail, including colours, textures and home decor. 3D site plans add dimension to your project and allow you to imagine how your design will come to life, which is especially helpful when planning a home renovation or landscaping project.

First-Person 3D Visualisation

Tour your site plan in 3D by switching to the first-person viewing mode. Visualizing your project in a first-person perspective allows you to imagine yourself in your new space. Create realistic 3D rendered images and 360º views of your project, which you can share with building contractors and project associates.
