These past few weeks we have reserved for doing some serious housekeeping regarding Floorplanner. We are focusing on solving small issues and bugs that we haven’t solved earlier because they were either too small or too time-consuming. Many of these were cause for small irritations for users and for ourselves.

We did identify over 180 points for improvement and did already tackle about 60% of them in the past weeks. Some are very small and hardly noticeable (like an extra pixel or space) but others improvements are more significant. Below you can find some of the bigger improvements that we did recently:

Improved textures
We have worked a new way to generate textures. Using the new method textures are spaces are filled up much quicker with textures. This means designs load and update quicker in your browser. Also we added some new textures: sand, water and bark.

Room bug
There was still an ugly bug that made unwanted areas appear in drawings when you deleted or did redraw your spaces. This is now history because we found and solved the bug that created floors under the walls and it seems this bug doesn’t appear anymore.

Grouping & Locking
By holding the SHIFT key you can select multiple furniture elements; This makes it possible to perform operations at multiple elements at once. By locking elements you can make items non-editable & non-movable. Useful to avoid stairs, doors and windows from being changed unwanted.

New furniture
We added new fitness machines, balconies, cupboards,pillows, swimming pools and a set of Halloween items


And more…:
Other improvements: you can split walls quicker by holding the CTRL-key and clicking on a wall. Also we added a duplicate button for textitems, and we solved some minor bugs with the space drawing tool.

We are still busily working on fixing other points in the coming weeks so please let us know if you see small bugs we need to work on.
