Create, save, rename, duplicate, and reopen projects, and read the save-status chip.
A project is one plant-room layout. Project management lives in the workspace File menu.
Creating and naming
New starts a blank project.
The project name shows in the breadcrumb and in the Project settings panel. Use Rename to
change it. The name is a property of the project, not of the room — it travels with exports as
the drawing title.
Saving
Save (Ctrl/Cmd + S) stores the current project.
Save as / Duplicate makes a copy under a new name.
Load project lists your saved projects to reopen; the full library is at /projects.
Autosave can be toggled On or Off — when on, your work is saved as you go.
Sign in to save & manage projects. Cloud save and Load project require an account with
a verified email. Signed out, the File menu offers only New and Sign in to save; your work
stays on this device until you sign in — see Save status.
Save status
A chip in the workspace header shows the current save state — Cloud saved, Saving to
cloud…, Edits pending, Not saved, or On this device — and explains what to do about
it. See Save status for what each one means.
If a saved project's layout can't be read back, a dismissible banner says so and opens an empty
document instead of failing silently.
Moving a layout between machines
There is no project-file download. To carry a layout elsewhere, save it to your account and open
it from any signed-in device, or export IFC and re-import it (with the losses listed under
Exporting).
On mobile
On a phone or narrow window Plant Room Studio is a read-only viewer: you can open and inspect
saved projects but not edit or save them. Build and save on a desktop-width screen.
