Repair is an interesting and exciting process, butsometimes he stumbles over seemingly small things. Gray tiles or brown, will it be convenient to watch TV in this corner or not, a regular closet or a built-in one - all these are trifles compared to the overall volume of work, but they can prevent you from finishing the final stage of the renovation. Online interior planners exist for just such cases What is an online planner
The point of online interior planners is thatThese programs allow you to draw a three-dimensional plan of an apartment, virtually arrange furniture and see how it will look. They differ in the level of capabilities, but the basis is the same: the user selects a room layout, sets the parameters - and can see a three-dimensional model. Well, and then you can add furniture. Our opinion:
— It’s also good that there are a lot of free planners (in some cases you need to register on the owner’s website, in others you don’t). Simple planners
The simplest planners create a flat drawingpremises, most of us are familiar with from school drawing lessons. This is the simplest option - an analogue of a drawing with a pen on paper; it is usually needed if the room has architectural elements of a complex shape - fancy ledges, niches, etc., which are sometimes difficult to imagine "on your fingers".
Volumetric planners
The second option is more interesting, it allows you to createvolumetric color model. You can set the dimensions of the furniture and rotate them: try several options for kitchen units, move objects around the room in search, etc. You can also change the color of the wall and floor finish, move partitions, move windows and doors (this is often required by those who are building their own house) or look for the most convenient place for the switchboard.
Complex planners
But the most interesting option is the “advanced” ones.planners that allow you to create a full volumetric model of the room. In them, you can set not only the color and size, but almost everything: the shape of the furniture, style, any decorative elements, etc. What will the room look like if you move the partition and put a sofa in the pier, a green carpet, or vice versa, whether this wall should be painted a different color and if so, what color - all this can be seen. Our opinion: - The resulting model can be seen from all sides, rotated and even watched like a movie, if the program has the "virtual excursion" function.
Planners from furniture manufacturers
A special place among planners is occupied byplanners from major manufacturers (of furniture, windows, doors, partitions, etc.). On their websites, you can set the parameters of your room, and then “arrange” the furniture you like from the manufacturer’s catalog in it and see how it will look specifically in your case. The most famous of these planners is probably the IKEA planner.
Complex Layouts Planners Can Helpin cases where the room has a complex, non-standard shape. It will also help when planning artificial "difficulties" - when creating a niche, a bay window or a complex suspended ceiling. They will also come in handy in cases where you can't choose a piece of furniture - a kitchen set, for example. The ability to look in such cases is an indispensable option.
5 Popular Scheduler Programs and Opinionpro Professional computer design programs such as 3DMax, ArchiCAD and AutiCAD are not cheap and require time to master. Hobby planners, available for free or for a nominal fee, usually have a user-friendly interface, but their capabilities do not always meet the needs of even an amateur designer. Nevertheless, this is a great way to get inspired, to imagine in general terms how your apartment could look if you made certain decisions. Let's dwell on several popular Russian-language programs in more detail. 1. Google SketchUp Google SketchUP has a free and paid version. The main advantage of the program is a simple, intuitive interface and the ability to 3D model your own objects. It is quite easy to understand the toolbar, in case of problems there are tips, hints and lessons. The library of components (furniture, materials) can be replenished, and some solutions can even be made dynamic, for example, a door can open with a click of the mouse. The V-Ray plugin is a professional rendering system that allows you to turn sketches into full-fledged visualizations. Unfortunately, the free version will not allow you to transfer the result to another program or even add text to the image.
2.Planner 5D The program, or rather the web application Planner 5D, allows you to work on interior visualization through a computer or mobile device browser. It is nice that the audience of this Russian project in 2013 already amounted to more than two million users, 80 percent of them are homeowners, 20 percent are professional designers and realtors. Now the application is conditionally free, but you need to pay extra for using additional catalogs. Inga Azhgirey, interior designer: - The Planner 5D program has a good selection of materials and furniture. Many opportunities for creating projects in the most typical series of houses and excellent descriptions. Among the disadvantages, I will note the low accuracy of sizes; in real projects, every millimeter is sometimes important, but here it is not taken into account. inga-art.ru
3.Planoplan Planoplan is also a project of a Russian startup, an online service created on the basis of technologies used in video games, you can even "walk" through the ready-made visualization of apartments. The service catalog contains several thousand items of furniture, building elements and materials, even pet figurines are available. For amateurs, all the features are free, more professional options are paid, for example, additional lighting and creating room sections. Oksana Kashchenko, editor-in-chief of the etk-fashion.com portal: - Personally, the Planoplan program worked unstable for me, it gave errors and did not allow me to put the furniture in the right place. The catalog of free materials and furniture is too small for full-fledged work. Of course, when working with shareware programs, you need to understand that their main function is a general visual assessment of the project, you can’t control small details in them and they will not replace full-fledged drawings and professional programs.
4.VisiCon VisiCon is a simple program for designing kitchens, bathrooms, even exhibition stands and retail spaces. The basic version can be purchased for only 149 rubles, the professional version for 1,400. The standard catalog of 3D models of affordable furniture is not that big, only about 600 items, but all of them were created based on the products of Russian furniture companies and are distinguished by their realism. It is possible to download additional textures, including those created independently in graphic programs.
5.Roomtodo Roomtodo is a free program that works directly in the browser, without requiring downloading or installation. You can upload a drawing of a room, even of a complex shape, and simply outline the walls. The catalog of materials and furniture is still small, but the authors are working on expanding it and integrating it with the range of real manufacturers. They also promise to add automatic costing and the ability to post designs on social networks soon.
