Yes. You are able to download your finished floor plan in a number of different formats. The default format settings on the download page are as follows:
"Download for Web" button is a JPEG file, perfect for viewing on a web site (but not best for use when printing)
"Download for Printing" is set to a GIF file, which is a high quality file that produces a crisp printed image. It’s typically this button that is used to download the floor plan and inserted into an estate agency software solution (although it’s worth checking which format your software provider prefers to support).
To change the settings click ‘Your account’ then ‘Change preferences’ and select ‘Formats’ from the drop-down menu. Here you can change the file format that each button downloads by clicking the drop-down menus and selecting your preferred file type. Don’t forget to click the ‘Save changes’ button at the bottom of the page.
NOTE: In addition to the above download option there is the option to download files as WMF. EMF and even with the floor plan image already in Word. These download options are available just below the "download for web" button.

Simply click ‘Download for print’, ‘Download for web’ or one of the other options below these buttons (if necessary, see ‘Can I download my floor plans in a different format (i.e. JPEG)?’).

Click the ‘Open plan’ button just above the floor plan image and make your changes. Once made, click the ‘Plan complete’ button to re-process it.

Once you have created a room on the drawing plan page, simply click ‘Set wall length’ (on the right hand side of the page) and then click on a wall. A window will be displayed where you can manually enter the measurements of the wall you have selected. When you are finished drawing your plan, click the ‘Plan complete’ button. Prior to processing your plan you can check the measurements and amend them if required, or even remove measurements completely.
Note: By changing the measurements after clicking 'Plan complete', you will not affect the positions of walls within your drawing but are simply controlling the measurements stated within each room on the final plan.
Yes. You can upload your company logo at any time, to be displayed as a watermark on your 2D floor plans.
To do this, go to ‘Your account’ then ‘Change preferences’ and select ‘Watermarks’ from the drop-down menu. Set all your preferences then upload your logo by clicking the ‘Browse’ button. Once this has finished, click the ‘Upload’ button below then save the changes. Any floor plans you produce from this point onwards will include the watermark. However, if you have any finished plans that you want changing, you will need to reprocess/resave them.
Very similarly you can remove the watermark at any time by going back into your preferences and removing the link to you logo in the ‘Upload new image’ field.
You are able to add kitchen and bathroom units to your plan by dragging the relevant icons in to place. However, in order to show furniture on your plan you would need to order a 3D Floor Plan and/or Walkthrough, where the system automatically inserts soft furnishings for you.
The Walkthroughs guide the viewer from room to room where they are able to experience the property with different furnishings, decoration and flooring types as the tour progresses – you are also able to upload photographs of the property that can be displayed at the relevant points throughout the tour. 3D Floor Plans are still images created with the same 3D software as the Walkthroughs, where they can be ordered as furnished or unfurnished depending on your preference.
3D Floor Plans and Inside 3DGE are usually processed within a few hours. Once ready they an email is sent with the plan attached although it’s also available to download from within your account as well.
3D Walkthroughs generally take up to 24 hours to process, however often they’re ready the same day!
