Draw a floor plan in your browser — a quick start

You don’t need a CAD licence or a desktop install to draw a clean, to-scale floor plan. With Tarkhan you open a browser tab and start drawing. Here’s the whole flow, start to finish.

1. Lay the walls

Pick the wall tool and click your way around the outline. Walls snap to the grid and to each other, and they share nodes where they meet — so corners close cleanly and a wall you begin part-way along another becomes a neat T-junction. Because walls are a connected graph, dragging a single node later reshapes everything attached to it.

2. Add doors and windows

Drop doors, windows and gates directly onto a wall. Each opening sits at an offset along its wall and rides along if you move or resize that wall afterwards. Set the width and height, and choose a door’s swing.

3. Furnish and label

Place fixtures from the built-in library — beds, sinks, sofas, counters and more, all drawn to real sizes. Close a loop of walls and Tarkhan detects the room and reports its area; give it a name and type whenever you like.

4. Dimension it

Walls already carry editable dimension strings. Add your own dimension lines between any two points, and text notes with leader arrows for anything that needs calling out. Click a length to type an exact value.

5. Export or share

When it’s ready, export the floor to DXF or SVG for CAD, print a to-scale PDF, or grab a PNG. Want to just show someone? Switch on a read-only share link — they can view the plan without an account.

That’s the core loop. Everything here is in the editor today — the features page lists exactly what’s available.
