How to change dimensions and measurement units

You can change the dimensions of rooms, walls, doors, windows, furniture, and other supported items in Planner 5D. Basic plan users can also change the available properties of catalog items that are marked as free on the platform they're using.

Before You Start

  • You do not need a Premium subscription to change the dimensions of free catalog items.

    • Basic plan users can edit the available properties of items that are marked as free on the platform they're currently using.

Please note: Free catalog items may vary by platform. An item that is free on one platform may require a subscription on another platform.

  • Selecting a single wall lets you change the dimensions of that wall only, while selecting the entire room applies the dimension changes to all walls in that room.
