Drawing tools for asbestos enclosure planning

From rooms and walls to airlocks, NPUs, signs and routes — AsbestoPlan gives asbestos teams a clean, fast workflow for visual planning.

The solution

One tool for 2D plans, 3D visuals and asbestos-specific assets

Built around how asbestos teams actually work — from estimator to supervisor.

Build rooms, walls and storeys

Draw rectangular or polygon rooms, connect walls and set their height, thickness and materials. Organise the building into storeys.

Shape roofs and ceilings

Choose flat, mono-pitch, gable, hip and specialist roof forms. Set pitch, direction, coverings and edge trims, then inspect the result in 3D.

Add enclosure zones

Mark the work area with a coloured zone. Add walls and sheeting separately to represent its physical enclosure. Grass and road surfaces provide site context.

Configure airlocks and baglocks

Choose chamber sizes and stages, with straight, left-turn and right-turn layouts for two- and three-stage units. Check the layout in 2D and 3D.

Show floor and wall polythene

Apply room floor polythene and place sheeting with its own size, slope, colour and opacity to communicate the enclosure layout.

Drag-and-drop assets

Drag library assets into the 2D plan or 3D scene, or click to place them in the active view. On touch screens, use the asset drag handle.

Add waste, transit and safe routes

Coloured route lines that read clearly on any plan.

Add signs, barriers and equipment

Temporary site fencing, warning signs, vacs, DCUs and welfare units.

Room and wall measurements

Show wall lengths, room spans, area and perimeter. Labels update with the drawing; visibility controls let you show the detail you need.

2D and 3D in sync

One shared scene model. Move it in 2D and it updates in 3D — or use Split view to watch both at once.

Layers and visibility

Toggle building, zones, routes, signs and equipment layers per project.

Undo, redo and autosave

Undo and redo edits during your session. Changes save automatically while connected; the save indicator confirms their status.

Project dashboard

Cloud-saved projects with statuses, client/site details, thumbnails, notes and search. Paid subscriptions also support read-only snapshot links.

Export visuals

Export PNG/JPG from either view. Paid plans add clean high-resolution images, PDF and 2D SVG. Include an optional scene key and title block.

One shared scene

Build once. View it in 2D or 3D.

Move an item in the 2D plan and it updates in 3D. Move it in 3D and the 2D plan updates too. There is only one project — no duplicate models to maintain.

2D Plan Mode

Document-ready 2D visuals

Clean enclosure plans with asbestos-specific symbols, dimensioned walls and snap-to-grid drawing.

3D Enclosure Mode

Inspect the layout in 3D

Generate 3D views of walls, enclosures, airlocks, baglocks, NPUs and site equipment.

Export-ready visuals

Export PNG/JPG on every plan. Paid plans add PDF and 2D SVG. Add a key and title block in separate sheet margins. The sample below is an exported drawing for a fictional project.

Asset library

Built-in asbestos enclosure asset library

217 asbestos-specific 2D symbols across 15 categories — airlocks, baglocks, NPUs, DCUs, vacs, fencing, signs, skips and more. Many include a matching 3D model; drag any asset into the scene and switch between 2D and 3D thumbnails.

Generic planning assets: AsbestoPlan assets are generic visual planning symbols created to help communicate enclosure layouts, equipment positions, routes and site setup. They are not manufacturer-specific product drawings, approved safety signs, legal signage, equipment specifications, compliance certification, RAMS, plans of work or substitutes for competent professional judgement. Users must ensure all real-world equipment, signs, labels, controls and documentation meet current legal, project, company and manufacturer requirements. Read the full product disclaimer.

Floor plan backdrop — paid plans

Trace enclosures over an existing floor plan

On any paid plan, upload a floor-plan image and set its scale by resizing it or calibrating a known distance. Trace manually, or try assisted wall and opening detection (Preview) on clear plans with horizontal and vertical walls. Review suggested windows, door types and swings before creating editable geometry. The image can also appear beneath the 3D model as a reference.

  • Upload PNG, JPG or WebP

    Drop in a survey scan, an architect drawing or a quick site sketch — uploaded straight to your project.

  • Set the real-world scale

    Enter the floor plan width and height in mm, or calibrate against a known distance. Check your traced dimensions against the source drawing.

  • Opacity, position and rotation

    Fade the backdrop to a guideline, nudge it into place and rotate it to align with your grid.

  • Lock it once aligned

    Locking the backdrop prevents accidental drag while you trace your enclosure on top.

Colours & materials

Customise colours to match the job

Change polythene, wall, zone and route colours in a few clicks. Each placed object stays independent — recolouring one item does not change the rest of the project.

  • Common polythene colour presets — clear, white, black, royal blue, green, red and orange — so teams can match their own company standards and project conventions.
  • Set a material and colour for all walls of a room, or adjust individual wall sections.
  • Highlight zones and routes in your own colours to suit each plan.
  • Individual object changes stay local. Room-wide controls deliberately update all of that room’s walls, including shared walls.
