Foyr’s design tools shorten the time it takes for anyone to go from initial client meetings to final client presentations, and not without good reason. Your masterpiece doesn’t have to be the one that takes months to design – it can be something you design on the fly, during your peak creativity period, using Foyr Neo.
With a super intuitive, cloud-based engine that makes designing feel like a cakewalk, and helps you bring out your creative genius, your possibilities are endless.
How is it possible? We unpack the secrets in this blog.
Foyr Neo Features to Streamline Your Design Workflows
If your design process takes weeks for a single client for a single design, you need to amp up your efforts and do them in half the time using Foyr Neo. Cut down on repetitive, time-consuming, mundane tasks that don’t add any value by optimizing design workflow with Foyr tools.
1. Organize Projects Right and Manage Them in One Place
No need to clutter your laptop memory with numerous files and versions of the same designs. Ace project management with Neo, without investing in any other tools with high pricing. You have unlimited cloud storage space to save multiple drafts, and iterations and group them into project-wise folders. Retrieve any design in minutes, even when during a client meeting, and show the client other interior design projects you’ve worked on to show the versatility of your interior design business.
2. Use Room Layouts and Design Templates For Quicker Turnarounds
Carry on with your design process without having to wait for creative genius to strike you – especially if your client’s design needs and budget warrant a quick turnaround and you aren’t able to muster as many design ideas as you’d like to.
Choose from an ocean of 10,000+ design layouts and templates by typing in any room you want (interior or exterior), shortlist from a vast selection, and open one or many. If you fancy the entire template, use it directly, or if you want only a few products from the template, shortlist the ones that catch your eye, and use them in your 3D floor plan creator. Boost productivity with Foyr design software tools starting today.
3. Avoid Back and Forth Changes By Visualizing Every Inch
Designers and contractors frequently disagree on how practical the design is and what needs to be changed to suit the floor plan and make construction easier. If the space hasn’t been properly visualized and planned taking every need and code into consideration, once the client signs off on the design, the contractor is sure to call you and ask for changes.
This back and forth goes on until the design is ready to build. Or, in some cases, there have been instances where the design didn’t turn out the way the client wanted in the first place and the built structure had to be torn down to be rebuilt – what a colossal waste of time, money, and heartbreak for the client!
Wipe out all these revisions by bringing the vision you have to reality and analyzing the design and every inch of the space, ensuring 3D visualization software, walking through the design inch by inch, and viewing the space from different angles, heights, fields of view, and lighting. Foyr Neo helps you do exactly that, and then some.
4. Avert Safety Risks Easily By Assessing the Impact of Light and Shadows
As a designer you consider lighting and shadows thoroughly when you sketch your initial design, but sometimes, intruding walls, columns, or furniture may cast shadows that may go unaccounted for. Or, shadows and light entry points and natural heating points may not be accounted for seasonal differences.
For homes with children, and the elderly especially, adequate lighting is paramount. Similarly, for garages, exteriors, and entryways, shadows in the wrong places or a lack of lighting can pose severe safety risks.
Whatever space you design, take time to assess its look and functionality, and how various elements of the design interact with each other in the home design under different lighting conditions – natural (sunrise, sunset, cloudy, rainy, windy, wintery) and artificial (cool and warm lighting). Assess sun movement, and design interiors accordingly, while having a range of lighting options to experiment with.
5. Search for Any Product with Any Features You Want or Create Afresh
If your client is all in for hot-off-the-oven products and wants their home to set the trend, you may have a tough time finding the right products to populate your designs with, especially if you’re a beginner to the interior design industry.
The opposite is true too – if they want a super-traditional home with yesteryear products, it can be challenging to get them in the design. No matter what the case is, you need a robust library replete with 3D products for every design style. You get such a library in Foyr Neo – 60,000+ pre-built 3D models with impeccable detailing, and those belonging to famous brands.

6. Auto-Punching Feature to Design Sinks and Cavities
Designing a kitchen and having lots of things planned for the design? It’s easy to miss certain important details such as punching holes for the sink and cavities in the wall or countertops. Foyr Neo’s kitchen design software helps you out with its auto-punching feature, to aid you in your design process.
7. Place Walls Easily with Wall Snapping and Ruler Features
Drawing walls after uploading your floor plan onto Neo’s 3D floor planner doesn’t have to be an arduous task where you accidentally oversize, elongate, duplicate, overlap, or diminish the size of adjacent walls. You never know which missed detail will cost your client heavily, so it’s best to work with an AI-powered interior design tool like Foyr Neo whose algorithms help you out with an auto wall snapping feature to ensure your walls are placed within boundaries and are within scale.
Use the up and down arrows to move forward and backward in the design, or zoom in and out in the 3D mode. The left and right keys help you move in any direction, to assess the design in all its glory. One of the other ways to navigate through the design is to use a single click on any product to see its property box and edit it.
Alternatively, you can double-click the product and the screen will instantly zoom in to help you see the product. Another way to navigate is to use the pen tool that can easily move you around however you want. None of these navigation methods takes more than a nano-second to process – no waiting time, delays, or glitches during transitions – that’s what happens when you choose an intelligent, intuitive, and artificial intelligence-powered interior design software like Foyr Neo.
9. Copy, Paste, and Import Any Texture Into the Design
If you want the impossible made possible – a super specific product in a different color palette, finish, or material, simply upload the texture, pattern, or color onto Foyr Neo, and apply it to the design, or copy the texture from an existing material and paste it onto the product you want customized.
10. Take Renders in a Few Minutes
The walkthrough mode in Neo is crafted with precision. Once you open the walkthrough dashboard on Neo, it allows you to choose between a high-density mode or low-density mode, and add or move cameras around the space to finalize the kind of views you want to offer to your clients. If you don’t want many cameras, delete them.
In the 3D view, you can also rotate the camera views and set the frame from which you want to start the full video walkthrough or focus your photorealistic render. You can make any camera the starting point. Click on preview to check all angles and fine details are set in place. After that, start the 3D rendering process. The entire design will be ready in a few minutes, and uploaded onto your Foyr Neo gallery, ready to be ravished.
Even today, you’d see so many in the design industry draw their initial concepts and sketches on paper, then recreate them on other legacy interior design software, take renders, show them to their clients, and then come back and carry out the changes again in their sketches and keep repeating the lengthy design cycle to no avail.
Foyr Neo simplifies it big time – take quick 4K, high-quality renders or walkthroughs after taking a preview, and quickly generate a shareable link, paste the same onto your email, and send it swiftly for the client to review on the fly. How convenient for everyone! No repetitive tasks, or double work for anyone!
