Use the Home Plan template in Visio Professional and Visio Plan 2 to draw new house plans or remodeling plans, experiment with new kitchen and furniture arrangements, or draw plans to add a new room to your home.

  1. On the File tab, click New, and then click Home Plan.

  2. Choose Metric Units or US Units, and then click Create.

    By default, this template opens a scaled drawing page in landscape orientation Wide page . You can change these settings at any time. For more information, see Change the drawing scale.

  3. Create the basic exterior wall structure in one of the following ways:

    Use room shapes.

    1. From the Walls, Shell and Structure stencil, drag one of the room shapes onto the drawing page.

    2. Resize the room shape by dragging the control handles Control handle image - yellow diamond and selection handles Selection handle image on individual walls.

    1. From the Walls, Shell and Structure stencil, drag exterior wall shapes onto the drawing page.

    2. Resize walls by dragging an endpoint ( Begin point image - green square with X inside or End point image, which is plus sign in a green square ).

    3. To connect walls, drag an endpoint ( Begin point image - green square with X inside or End point image, which is plus sign in a green square ) of one wall to another wall.

      The endpoints turn red when the walls are glued. Intersections between two walls are cleaned up automatically.

      Note: For walls to join properly, Glue to Shape geometry must be selected in the Snap & Glue dialog box.

    2. From Building Core, drag building core shapes, such as stairs, onto the drawing page.

  6. Add doors and windows.

    1. From the Walls, Shell and Structure stencil, drag door and window shapes on top of walls.

      Doors and windows automatically rotate to align with the wall and glue to the wall. They also acquire the wall's thickness and move with walls when you reposition them.

  7. After you assemble the building shell and wall structure, you can add electrical symbols and dimension lines.

    Add electrical symbols.

    1. From the Electrical and Telecom stencil, drag wall switches, outlets, and other wall fixtures onto wall shapes.

    2. Release the mouse button when a red square Red box showing glued connection point image appears, indicating that the symbol is glued to the wall. Wall fixtures automatically rotate to align with the wall and glue to the wall.

    1. Right-click a wall, and then click Add a Dimension.

    2. Reposition dimension lines and dimension text by dragging a control handle Control handle image - yellow diamond .
