What it is

DreamPlan Home Design Software helps plan and visualize homes, interiors, and outdoor spaces, including landscaping, decks, and pools. It supports floor plans for houses, condos, and apartments, with the option to create a plan from scratch or import one and trace it. Designs can be viewed in 3D, rendered 2D, or blueprint view, and multi-floor design is supported.

For outdoor layouts, users can reshape terrain and add trees, plants, shrubs, gardens, decks, patios, and pools. Interior layouts can include 3D furniture, fixtures, appliances, and decorations, with colors, materials, and textures available for customization. The software lists JPG, PNG, OBJ, STL, 3DS, and PLY among supported export or import formats, and can export a web viewer in HTML. Screenshots can be shared through Google Drive, OneDrive, or Flickr. DreamPlan is available for Windows, macOS, and Android. Its free version is for non-commercial use and requires no signup. Help options include video tutorials, a manual, a forum, and technical support contact.
