Intro

Your home doesn’t stop at the front door. With the floorplan designer you can map out the spaces around your property too, gardens, patios, balconies, terraces, driveways and pools, so your Zendo looks and feels like the real thing. Outdoor areas are drawn on the same floorplan as your rooms. You can add them to any floor, so a first-floor balcony or a rooftop terrace works just as well as a ground-floor garden. Outdoor areas can be drawn by using the floorplan designer. To add them:

1. Tap (Settings).
2. Tap “Rooms & Floors”.
3. Tap “Redesign”.

Landscape

A landscape is the ground around your home, things like grass, paving, gravel, decking or water. To add a landscape:

1. Open the floorplan designer.
2. Select the “Landscape” tool.
3. Draw the shape of your outdoor area on the canvas.
4. Pick a material (grass, paving, gravel, decking or water) from the side panel.

You can keep drawing to extend your outdoor space as far as you like, there’s no fixed boundary.

​

Pathways

Pathways are great for driveways, garden paths and footpaths.

1. Open the floorplan designer.
2. Select the “Pathway” tool.
3. Draw a path by setting its length and width.
4. Pick a material (paving, gravel decking or grass) from the side panel.

​

Pools and water features

Swimming pools, ponds, lakes and other water features are all a landscape made of water, so you can shape them however you like.

1. Select the “Landscape” tool.
2. Draw the shape of your water feature.
3. Choose the “Water” material from the side panel.

​

Balconies and terraces

Balconies and terraces are drawn on the floor they belong to. Each floor is its own plan, so add a balcony to the floor it sits on. A rooftop terrace is simply a floor with outdoor surfaces and no indoor rooms. To draw one:

1. Select the “Wall” tool and draw the edge of the balcony or terrace.
2. Select the material of your ledge from the side panel (e.g. railing, glass railing or low wall/parapet).
3. Select the “Landscape” tool and add the floor surface (for example decking or paving).

​

Patios and verandas

Patios and verandas are ground-level outdoor areas, so they’re just a landscape surface.

1. Select the “Landscape” tool.
2. Draw the shape of your patio or veranda.
3. Pick a material (for example paving or decking) from the side panel.

​

Outdoor furniture

Outdoor objects work just like indoor furniture, drop them in and position them where you like. Using the “Objects” tool, you can add:

• Sofas
• Dining tables and chairs
• BBQs and grills
• Outdoor lounge chairs (like pool loungers)

​

Detached structures

Sheds, pool houses and detached garages are drawn just like your main house, using walls, floors, doors and windows. There’s nothing special to learn, draw them the same way you’d draw any room.

Add accessories to your outdoor areas

Once your outdoor space is drawn, create a matching room (like “Garden” or “Patio”) in Rooms & Floors so you can add and control accessories there, outdoor lights, electric gates and more.
