Once you complete the space planning or have a rough idea, it's time to create a conceptual floor plan and roof to visualize the design.

For doors and windows, we will review the default settings to be efficient before they are placed in the plan. For stacked windows over doors or other windows, we will look at the best practice for placement. Once all the openings are placed, the plan dimensions will be updated and the schedules will be created.

Ceilings can add a unique look and design for a room. Going beyond flat, we will review trey, vault, shed and ceiling height options. Soffits and lighting will be used for depth and interest on an otherwise flat ceiling. Finally, we'll create a saved plan view for the purpose of generating a reflected ceiling plan.
