Capturing Closets / Wardrobes
Wardrobes and built-in closets can be added to your floor plan to represent recessed storage spaces within a room.
Wardrobes and closets are measured exactly the same way as a door opening. They are captured during measurement as a special door type and then refined afterward using the editing tools.
You do not need to measure inside the wardrobe or closet space.
Capture the Opening
Capture the wardrobe or closet opening in the same way you would measure a door.
You can use any supported door measurement method that best suits the opening and surrounding space.
Note: Wardrobes and closets use the same measurement techniques as doors. For supported opening methods and active reference point guidance, see Capturing Doors.
Workflow
Confirm the first edge or jamb of the wardrobe or closet opening
Select Closet / Wardrobe
Measure the opening exactly as you would a door
Switch the active reference point if required
Confirm the opposite edge or jamb
The wardrobe or closet opening will then appear in the floor plan.
After the second pause point is confirmed, the app automatically returns to Wall mode.
Best Practice
For the most accurate results:
Use the same technique you would use when measuring a door
Place LX1 flat and fully still during each pause point
Switch the active reference point when needed to match the opening edges
Choose the method that provides the cleanest and easiest access to the opening
Do not measure inside the wardrobe or closet space
The shape and depth are refined afterward using the editing tools.
Define the Wardrobe / Closet Space
After measuring:
Tap the wardrobe or closet in the floor plan
Tap Edit Closet / Wardrobe
Drag the side markers to align with the opening edges
Drag the back marker so it aligns with the inside wall edges
Tap Apply
The editable area represents the internal usable floor space.
This works similarly to editing stairs.
Wardrobe / Closet Styles
You can change how the wardrobe or closet appears in the floor plan.
Available styles may include:
Swing
Sliding
Open
The selected style updates instantly.
Important
Measure wardrobes and closets exactly the same way as doors
Use the same placement and active reference point workflow as a door opening
Do not measure inside the wardrobe or closet space
Shape and depth are refined afterward using the editing tools
Editing affects appearance and displayed dimensions only
Wall geometry remains based on the original LX1 measurement
Result
Once defined:
The wardrobe or closet appears as a recessed space within the room
Dimensions display directly within the drawing
The floor plan updates automatically
Measurement continues in Wall mode and you can continue measuring or select another feature if needed
Key Tip
Think of wardrobes and closets as:
Measured like a door — refined through editing.
Capture the opening during measurement, then use the Edit Closet / Wardrobe tools to define the shape, depth and appearance afterward.
