Planner 5D

Planner 5D is a consumer home- and interior-design app that lets you sketch a floor plan in 2D and view it in 3D as you go, without CAD training. You lay out walls and rooms, drop in furniture and decor from a catalog of thousands of items, adjust materials and colors, then generate a rendered image of the result. It runs in the browser and as apps on iOS, Android, Windows, and macOS.

Its AI angle is a room/layout generator that proposes furniture arrangements from a text description or basic inputs, giving beginners a starting point to edit rather than a blank canvas. Compared with pro tools like SketchUp, Chief Architect, or Sweet Home 3D, Planner 5D trades precision and technical depth for approachability — it’s aimed at homeowners and hobbyists more than architects who need construction-grade drawings.

Key Features

Best For

Homeowners planning a renovation, renters visualizing furniture before buying, and interior-design hobbyists who want quick, good-looking room mockups without learning professional CAD software.

Limitations

Planner 5D is a visualization tool, not a precision drafting package — measurements and detailing aren’t meant for actual construction documents, so architects and builders will outgrow it. The best renders and the full item library sit behind the paid plan, and the AI layouts are convenient starting points that still need manual refinement to look intentional.
