How to upload a floor plan and add floors
Load the builder’s PDF, pick the right page, crop it, and add a tab for every level of the house.
Builders send plans as multi-page PDFs, phone photos and screenshots. robot takes all of them and trims them down to just the plan.
Upload the plan
- 1On an empty floor, tap Upload your floor plan.
- 2Pick an image (PNG or JPG) or a PDF. A photo of a printed plan is fine.
- 3robot trims the white margins off for you.
Other file types won’t load. If you see Unsupported file, save the plan as a PDF or image first.
Pick the page from a PDF
- 1robot shows Reading your PDF… while it opens the file.
- 2Under Pick the page with the plan, tap the page you want. Each page is labelled Page 1, Page 2 and so on.
- 3You’ll crop to just the plan next.
One PDF often has every level in it. Upload the same PDF on each floor and pick a different page each time.
Crop and rotate
- 1Drag the crop box so it covers just the plan — leave out the title block and notes.
- 2Tap ⟳ Rotate if the plan is on its side.
- 3Tap Crop & place →. Or tap Use as-is to keep the whole page.
Replace or remove the plan image
Once a plan is loaded, you’ll see Replace and Remove plan at the top right of the canvas. Replace swaps in a new drawing — handy when the builder sends a revision. Remove plan asks you to confirm first.
Your placed products stay where they are when you replace the image. Check they still line up with the new drawing.
Add, rename and delete floors
New plans start with one tab called Ground floor. Each tab shows a dot when it has a plan image, and a count of the items on it.
- 1Tap + Add floor to add a level. It’s called Floor 2, Floor 3 and so on.
- 2Double-click a floor tab to rename it — e.g. First floor, Garage, Granny flat.
- 3Upload that level’s plan on the new tab.
- 4To remove the level you’re on, tap Delete floor and confirm. Every item on that floor goes with it.
The product list, the PDF and the quote all count items across every floor. The plan PDF prints one page per floor.
No drawing? Sketch the walls
- 1On an empty floor, tap ✏️ Draw a floor plan — or open Tools → Draw walls.
- 2Drag to draw a wall. Walls snap straight.
- 3Tap Done in the banner when you’re finished.
Draw walls is turned off on a floor that already has a plan image.
Measure a known wall
robot works out the plan’s scale from measurements you label. Open Tools → Measure, tap two points (the ends of a wall you know), then type the size — e.g. 3600mm — and tap Done.
You need at least one measurement before robot can work out square metres for heated floors.
