Start with drawings that describe the house.
Use a legible PDF containing the relevant floor plan. Elevations help establish heights, and sections can explain spaces that the plan alone cannot describe. A roof plan provides additional exterior context. If you have a current architectural set, upload that coherent set rather than combining unrelated revisions.
Vector PDFs are generally easier to read than flattened scans. A photograph of a sketch, a listing floor-plan thumbnail or an unreadable scan may not provide enough geometry to build a usable model. The free preview is the place to discover those limits before purchasing renders.
- Floor-plan dimensions, doors, windows and room labels are readable.
- The sheets describe the same house and revision.
- Elevations or sections are included when available.
- You know which assumptions you need to check in the model.
Review the basic 3D model before choosing finishes.
Upload the PDF, let the studio build its basic model, then explore the rooms. Check that walls, openings, room labels and heights make sense against the drawings. A readable room name helps you jump to the kitchen or great room, but an unreadable label can still appear as a numbered room.
The model is an extracted starting point, not a certified construction model. Missing or ambiguous information may remain assumed. If the room outline or an important opening is wrong, changing the material prompt will not fix that underlying reading. Review the geometry first.
Make a shot list instead of repeatedly starting over.
Move into the room and frame the view you actually want to evaluate. Save the camera shot to the house, give it a useful name, and add notes. Capture several deliberate perspectives: an entry view, a seating view and a view toward the kitchen often answer different design questions.
Keep the room and camera consistent when comparing finish options. A library of saved views makes it easier to compare oak versus painted cabinetry or warm versus cool flooring without accidentally changing the composition at the same time.
- Great room: seating wall, glazing and connection to dining.
- Kitchen: island, cabinet wall and circulation path.
- Bedroom: entry perspective, bed wall and major windows.
- Bathroom: vanity and the relationship to the shower.
Choose your shots, then render them yourself.
Select the saved shots you want to render. Choose the room type, design direction, light and rendering preference, then add material notes. Fast is useful while exploring ideas; Quality is the option to try when presentation detail matters. Neither changes the need to inspect the result.
Basic 3D modeling and saved camera shots are free. A $99 purchase adds 12 renders to one house, shared between interior and exterior views. A successful new generation or AI image revision uses one render; failed generations are returned to that house allowance. There is no subscription.
Use versions to make decisions, not just attractive pictures.
A completed rendering appears as a thumbnail in the house collection and account library. Open it to see the full Rendering, its Original model shot, or the Comparison slider. The slider is a review option; the full rendering is the default view.
Select a saved version when you want to revise it. Name the material or object to change, and state which walls, openings and camera composition should remain. The edit creates a new version with its prompt and source version, while earlier images remain available. AI can still alter details that you wanted to preserve, so compare each result with the original.
EXAMPLE PROMPT / ADAPT TO YOUR SHOT
Change only the kitchen cabinet finish to warm white oak. Keep the island location, wall layout, window and door openings, and camera composition unchanged. Use soft daylight and restrained furnishings.
Common questions
Can I make an interior rendering from a floor plan without a room photo?
Yes, when the PDF contains enough readable geometry. The studio builds a basic 3D model first, and you capture interior camera views to use as AI rendering references.
Is the 3D model free?
Basic 3D modeling, exploration and saved shots are free. Photoreal AI renders and successful image revisions use the paid house allowance.
Is every wall and window guaranteed to match?
No. Drawing extraction can be incomplete, and AI can change details. Check the basic model before buying and compare the generated images with the original shot and drawings.
Can I save different design options?
Yes. Saved camera shots, renderings and edit versions remain associated with your account and house. Each successful AI revision uses one render.
