I've been getting heady ideas about building a floor plan after watching this video....

[![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/3X/b/f/bf6149260cf0d7622852a81eb7c6f2e0a83c0a02.jpeg "Home Assistant Floor Plan using the Picture Elements Card - Easy light dimming and color support") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RhkEiQ_jrI)

I'm not entirely sure I have the time to learn how to do everything in that video and also not sure I want to....

I'm thinking a 3D model with spot lights and led strips that can colour and brightness are enough.... The room doesn't necessity have to change colour at well, although it does look cool..

I've been reading through the forum and found this :  
node-red-contrib-ui-svg

But from reading up on it, it looks like it does 2d not 3d drawings.

I guess worst case I can draw a 3d floor plan, make it the background image and then add lights and figure out how to add led strips.

Does anyone have good examples of projects to share on this?

Also, would be good to hear what the art of the reasonable is vs what's possible, as I don't want this to become an enormous project.

I'll keep reading through this forum to see if I've missed anything and add it to my post.

Edit: useful tutorial [http://mhallock.blogspot.com/2017/04/custom-node-red-dashboard-overhead.html?m=1](http://mhallock.blogspot.com/2017/04/custom-node-red-dashboard-overhead.html?m=1)
