Microsoft Visio is software for drawing diagrams. These include floor plans, electrical diagrams, flowcharts, org charts, building plans, floor plans, data flow diagrams, process flow diagrams, business process modeling, swim lane diagrams, 3D maps, and many more.

If appropriate for your needs, Visio can produce extremely helpful, slick, useful diagrams of all types, and these can provide the professional look you want for presentations, reports, audits, building plans, floor plans, documentation, and modeling better ways to do things. Visio includes a big library of shapes/symbols used in dozens of diagram types. These symbols represent specialized pieces of diagrams such as process flow diagrams, business process modeling, data flow diagrams, and many more. These are used widely in various fields for various purposes.

Microsoft Visio can be used in all below settings and more:
In Architecture: Create Floor plans, plumbing and electrical diagrams

In any field: A flowchart, which can take various forms, can be used to document and analyze a process; standardize a process for efficiency and quality; communicate a process for training or understanding by other parts of the organization; and identify bottlenecks, redundancies and unnecessary steps in a process and improve it.

In software engineering and business analysis: Data flow diagrams (DFDs) can provide a focused approach to technical development, in which more research is done upfront to get to coding. Business analysts use DFDs to analyze existing systems and find efficiencies. Diagramming the process can uncover steps that might otherwise be missed or not fully understood.

In business: Business Process Modeling and Notation (BPMN) is targeted at participants and other stakeholders in a business process to gain understanding through an easy-to-understand visual representation of the steps. At a more involved level, it’s targeted at the people who will implement the process, giving sufficient detail to enable precise implementation

In chemical engineering or process engineering: A Process Flow Diagram (PFD) is a type of flowchart that illustrates the relationships between major components at an industrial plant. Diagrams can serve to document, analyze, audit, or model a better way.

Thank you that was so helpful. My biggest struggle was figuring out how to use the space feature and size it correctly. Showing me the autosize feature was so helpful! Thank you!

[victorwestmann]

Loved the video! Really well done, detailed, and greatly explained. Thank you!

[brucewilliams]

Thank you very much. I have used Visio for many years but not for floor plans. I was getting strange dimensions for my rooms that made it very hard to work with. Now I understand how they expected to make the rooms.

Thank you for showing me " the door" to how Visio works with creating floor plans. Very informative.

[alicefreedom]

Very useful, didn't even know Visio could to that! thank you for sharing, that's gonna make my next project so much easier :D

Thanks so much for this video; your voice is so clear and the explanation is super! I'm creating a plant layout. This floor plan video will do. Thanks

Thank you for the info what verson are you using

[jerbear]

Does it have electrical symbols to add in after floor plan is created?

Hi, I have always been interested in learning how to use Visio. Now I have it, but I already use AutoCAD and other software for Architecture. Do you prefer using Visio over the others? Is it better in any way? Thanks!

[azashukri]

Thanks. I just learned the autosize feature

Do we need to set up the page before starting any work like or we can start directly on the screen after US units set. Thx

Hey Vad... Good Video, but I have some questions. Can I edit a room so its not rectangular or square but has its corners cut off so it winds up having six (6) sides? And is there a way to spec an outside 6" wall once a room has been created with 4" walls on the inside? Next, where do I find a template for a garage door? Last question (today LOL)... If you want to create a floor plan for a whole house, is it best to outline the overall house shape and plug in rooms where they belong, or would you create all the rooms and simply paste them on a blank page... then maybe group or merge all the rooms? TIA for the advice and help.-Mike

Hi, great video. Is there also a way to link something like something like Azure AD so that someone could click on the seat and know who is sat there in the office?

[ninoramos]

rest assured that I will indicate the proper credits for the video. I will wait for your permission. Thank you sir in advance. It will be a big help to me and to my students.

I have been using SmartDraw for many years. How does Visio handle wall sizing such is 6" (5.5) and 4" (3.5) walls?

When trying to add dbl bi-fold doors in an L shape the y-axis door wont allow me to position it close and keeps snapping down to the centre of the x-axis one. how do I fix this?

[jenigodwin]

Good idea I wanna need your more ideas

[kashman]

Do you have a tutorial on how to create you own custom fence or custom line?

[ninoramos]

Good day... may I ask the permission to use this video in my computer class? It will be posted in Edmodo where my students can view your video.
