Frequently asked questions
What type of drawings can I use?
Floor plan and elevation drawings in PDF, PNG or JPG. These can be scans of paper drawings or digital exports from CAD.
How does it know the height of a building from a floor plan?
Storey heights can be set per floor plan. For more precise, real heights of individual windows and doors, upload elevation drawings alongside your floor plans.
What if something comes out wrong?
Every generated model can be reviewed and corrected in the 2D editor before you download it — see Editor tools & shortcuts. If an element was detected incorrectly, it's quick to fix by hand.
How accurate are the results?
Results are accurate enough to save significant time on tasks that don't require millimeter precision, even on real-world drawings of varying quality. Always review the generated model before relying on it for detailed work.
Which parts of a building can be modeled?
Walls, windows, doors, floor slabs and spaces, output as IfcWall, IfcWindow, IfcDoor, IfcSlab and IfcSpace. Matching elements share a common type across the model — for example, all exterior walls of the same construction share one wall type.
Are the exported models compatible with Revit, Archicad and similar software?
Yes, with any software that supports importing the industry-standard IFC format. Importing into Revit or Archicad through their built-in IFC importer converts the model into fully editable native objects.
Which formats can I export to?
IFC 2x3, IFC 4x3, Excel, CSV and JSON. Let us know if you need a specific format for the software you use.
Where is my data stored and processed?
In datacenters located in the European Union, in line with standard data protection practices.
How am I charged?
Generating and previewing a model is free. You're charged only when you download it, based on the number of billable BIM objects (walls, windows, doors and similar elements) it contains — see Pricing & billing.
