Your first interior

From an empty room to walking through your own cafe in game, in eight steps. The build itself takes a few minutes.

Before you start

A SwisserAI account. The first build of an account is free; after that a design with 1 or 2 rooms costs 1,000 credits. You can try the builder without an account, but saving and building need one.
A computer with a mouse and a wide window. The builder does not work on a phone.
Access to your FiveM server files and its server.cfg.

The eight steps

We build a small cafe with a back office, name it Corner Cafe, and teleport into it on the server with /mlocornercafe.

1
Open the Interior Builder
In the sidebar open All tools and click Interior Builder. It opens on its own page, outside the workspace.
1. 1. Interior Builder: opens the builder on its own page
The builder sits under a short intro. Press Fullscreen in its toolbar, or F, so the whole toolbar fits on the screen.
1. 1. Build interior
2. 2. Fullscreen: the builder alone on the screen (F)

Name the design
Click the name field at the left of the toolbar and type Corner Cafe. The name becomes the resource name, mlo_corner_cafe, and the teleport command, /mlocornercafe.
1. 1. Design name: also names the resource
2. 2. Ground, + Floor
3. 3. 3D, 2D plan, Walk
From here on the design saves itself to your account a few seconds after every change.

Shape the rooms
The builder starts with one room of 10 x 7 m and a door to the outside. Press Rooms in the toolbar. The right panel now shows the room: rename it Cafe.
1. 1. Add room: attach another room
2. 2. Room name
3. 3. + exterior: another door to the outside
4. 4. Surfaces: floor, walls, ceiling
5. 5. Ceiling height
Drag the grip on the east wall one metre outwards, so the cafe is 11 m wide. The wall follows in 0.5 m steps; see resizing a room for a clip.
Press Add room and move the mouse along the outside of the cafe. The ghost of the new room turns green wherever it touches a wall. We click behind the north wall and rename the new room Office. The door between the two rooms is added for you.

Place the props
Press Furnish. Search the catalogue on the left, click a prop, move its ghost into the room and click to place it. Press R to turn the ghost before you click, and Esc when you are done with that prop.
1. 1. Search…: name or GTA model name
2. 2. Categories: click one to filter, again to clear
3. 3. 2,952 props
4. 4. Classic Sofa (3-seat): size in metres, footprint in cells
A round table is picked in the catalogue; its green ghost follows the mouse across the floor and a click places it. Two bistro chairs follow, turned with R so they face the table, one on each side. Played at twice the speed.
Our cafe has two shop counters with a cash register on top, a fridge and a coffee machine behind them, a sofa corner, two round tables with bistro chairs and two plants. The office has a desk with a laptop, a chair, a shelf, a plant and a cork board on the wall: 21 props in all.
