How to Move 3D Floor Plan Items

Adding furniture, cabinets, appliances, accessories and more to your 3D Floor Plan is a great way to help your client fully envision their new space. Houzz Pro 3D Floor Planner makes it easy to move things left and right, up and down, or rotate the item's angle.

You can move items in both floor plan mode and dollhouse mode.

Floor Plan Mode

When adding floor plan items, you want to make sure everything is properly aligned with other items or with the wall. To do this, you can easily "snap" items into place and accurately line them up.

To snap your items into place, be sure to select the Snapping icon in your top toolbar.

Drag an item close to the item you want to align it with, such as a piece of furniture or a wall, and they will automatically line up right next to each other.

Here's a demonstration of lining up items in the floor plan mode.

If you don’t want an item to snap to another item, but still want it positioned close by, disable the Snapping icon in your top toolbar. Then, zoom in and place the item exactly where you want it. Zooming in enables you to position items very close together without snapping them to each other.

To rotate items in floor plan mode, click on the item and use the rotate ring — you can click and drag to adjust the item freely or snap in 45-degree increments.

You can also easily rotate your item 90 degrees at a time with just one click on the black 90 icon below the item.

Dollhouse Mode

To move items in dollhouse mode, select the item until the hand icon appears over the item. To move an item left or right, click and drag the item and move it in the desired direction. This works for windows and doors as well.

To move items up and down — for example, lighting placed on a wall — select the item until the hand icon appears over the item. Then, click and drag the item and move it in the desired direction.

To rotate items in dollhouse mode, select the item until the hand icon appears over the item. Use the rotate ring to click and drag to adjust the item freely or snap in 45-degree increments.
