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

submitted 3 months 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 only ever used it for 3D printing but FreeCAD apparantly also has a floor plan functionality. I found this video that might give you some insights on how it looks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMk7pdnEnXM

When using FreeCAD for 3D printing, you don't necessarily have to add measures/constraints to everything, so I'd assume it's similar here.
