How to Lock Rooms and Hide Objects in Your Project (iOS)

Updated this week

The Planner 5D iOS app includes two helpful tools that make designing easier and more precise: Lock Rooms and Hide Objects. These options help you stay focused, avoid accidental changes, and build a cleaner floor plan.

What “Lock Rooms” Does

Lock Rooms prevents any rooms or walls from being moved or modified.
This is useful when:

  • Your layout is already finalized

  • You want to avoid accidental shifts while placing furniture

  • You’re polishing the design and want to keep the structure intact

Once enabled, the room layout stays fixed until you unlock it again.

What “Hide Objects” Does

Hide Objects temporarily removes all furniture and objects from your plan.
This feature is perfect when:

  • You want to focus only on the 2D layout or room placement

  • Furniture is blocking your view

  • You’re reorganizing the structure and don’t want visual distractions

Objects are not deleted — just hidden from view until you turn them back on.

How to Lock Rooms or Hide Objects

  1. Open your project in the Planner 5D iOS app.

  2. Tap the three dots (⋯) in the top-right bar.

  3. Select Settings.

  4. You’ll see two separate toggles:

    • Lock Walls

    • Hide Objects

  5. Switch either toggle on or off depending on your needs.

That’s all — you now have more control and flexibility when designing your project.
