Import Your Venue's CAD Drawing — Design Your Event on Top of It
Got a DWG file from your architect or venue? Upload it to Floors.live, crop the floor area you need, and start placing tables, stages, and equipment at accurate real-world scale. Automatic unit detection and scale calibration — from CAD drawing to event layout in minutes.

- Files up to 50 MB processed in-browser via WASM

Automatic Unit Detection & Scale Calibration
Floors.live reads the INSUNITS header from your DWG file to detect the drawing's unit system — millimeters, centimeters, meters, feet, inches, or any of 14 supported unit types. The scale is automatically calibrated so that event objects placed on the drawing match real-world dimensions. You can also override the unit selection manually if the DWG header is incorrect.
- Automatic INSUNITS header detection (14 unit types)
- Smart defaults for common Israeli CAD practices (mm header → cm actual)
- Manual unit override for edge cases (mm, cm, m, in, ft)
- Auto-generated scale calibration line at import
- Pixels-per-unit calculation for accurate object placement
- Grid size automatically matched to the drawing's unit system
Crop the Exact Floor Plan Area You Need
Architectural DWG files often include site plans, multiple floors, utility diagrams, and title blocks. After the initial render, Floors.live shows a full preview of the drawing and lets you select just the area you want to import. Zoom in with the slider, choose an aspect ratio, and apply the crop. The output is a clean, focused floor plan — as vector SVG for infinite zoom quality.
- Full-drawing preview with interactive crop selection
- Zoom slider (1× to 5×) for precise area selection
- Aspect ratio presets: Free, 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4
- Vector SVG output — no pixelation at any zoom level
- Optional high-resolution PNG rasterization (up to 16,384 px)
- "Use Full Image" to import the entire drawing without cropping
Place Tables & Equipment on Your CAD Drawing
Once imported, the DWG floor plan becomes the background of your event layout. Place round tables, banquet tables, stages, dance floors, bars, AV equipment, and 40+ objects directly on the architectural drawing — all snapping to the calibrated scale. Add your guest list, assign seating, and share the final layout with your venue, caterer, and production team.
- 40+ event objects in 7 categories (tables, venue, AV, architecture, etc.)
- Objects placed at accurate real-world scale on the CAD background
- Guest list management with CSV import and RSVP tracking
- Auto-assign seating algorithm with relationship constraints
- Real-time collaboration — share a live link with vendors
- Export to PDF and PNG with scale bar and capacity table
