The uploaded floor plan is the wrong size

Set image dimensions or calibrate a known distance before tracing or detection.

Why this can happen

The image dimensions include its margins, and a printed scale is not enough after an image has been resized.

What to do

  1. Open Floorplan size and scale. If you know the whole image’s real-world width or height, enter it there, or use the resize percentage.
  2. For a known distance inside the image, use two-point calibration and enter that measured distance.
  3. Check another known dimension before starting detection or tracing.
  4. If the current image size is already correct, use Detect walls, openings & stairs directly; another calibration is not required.

Check before you continue

Changing the backdrop size does not resize existing walls or equipment. Verify important dimensions independently; image quality and margins affect the result.
