Convert a JPG, PNG or PDF plan into an editable plan

If you already have a floor plan of the Dwelling / Housing unit, Visuary can automatically convert it into an editable plan: the walls are redrawn, without having to trace them by hand.

Import a plan

To import a plan:

1. From the page Projects, click on New project

2. Click on Import a plan. The Reference plan opens.

3. Click the button Click to browse and select your file, or drag it directly into the import Zone.

The plan must be in format .jpg, .png or .pdf.

Scale the plan

Scaling is required before you can convert the plan.

Scale the plan

To scale the plan:

1. Select the orange Dimension by its ends and place it on a known length on the plan. For maximum accuracy, choose the largest Dimension.

2. Enter the measurement in cm in the field "Scaling" located at the top left of your screen.

3. Click on "Validate".

Need to correct the scale? Redo the scaling from the tab Reference plan, then convert the plan again.

Warning: the Existing floor plan will be reset with this new scale.

To convert the plan:

1. Click on "Convert to editable plan (beta)"

2. Wait for the conversion. The message "Your plan is being converted. This may take a few minutes." is displayed.

3. Once the conversion is complete, the plan opens in the tab Existing floor plan.

4. The plan can be edited directly: you can start working on it.

Automatic plan import is limited according to your subscription:

• Without a subscription : 2 conversions

• Essentiel : 5 conversions per month

• Intégral : 20 conversions per month

Your counter resets on the 1st of every month. To see how many conversions you have left this month, hover over the "Convert to editable plan (beta)" button with your mouse.

Do you prefer to redraw the plan yourself? Click "Use as Layer" instead: the plan will serve as support for drawing over it.

Compare with the reference plan

Plan conversion is currently in beta: the result may require some adjustments.

Check the resulting plan by comparing it with the reference plan.

Compare with the reference plan

To compare the two plans:

1. Use the slider "Opacity" at the bottom of the screen to make the converted plan transparent and view the original plan underneath.

2. If necessary, correct the plan by drawing the missing walls.

We recommend setting the plan opacity to 60% which will let you view both the reference plan and the drawn plan.
