# Custom Furniture Upload

<details>

<summary>Can I upload my own furniture?</summary>

Yes. The Custom Furniture Uploader lets you bring your own furniture into laiout. You can upload Revit (RFA) files, which the platform reads and adds to your furniture library alongside the built-in catalogue. Once uploaded, your custom furniture is available to place in any project. During upload, you set key attributes for each item including model name, brand, seating capacity, cost and carbon data. Your custom pieces then appear in the furniture drawer and are used in generated layouts, with accurate 2D and 3D representation.

<summary>Do I have to provide 3d model to upload furniture?</summary>

The Custom Furniture Uploader currently supports Revit (RFA) files, which include 3D geometry. When you upload an RFA file, the furniture is displayed in both 2D and 3D views and is included in 3D exports (Revit, IFC, OBJ). If you need to upload furniture that you only have in 2D format, contact the laiout team at <info@laiout.co> to discuss options.

Once saved, the furniture appears in your company library and is available across all projects in your organisation.
