Design Studio

AI Floor Plan Generator — Draw Walls, Get a Real 3D House

Design Studio is a free, browser-based floor plan tool. Draw walls in 2D and a live, editable 3D model of the house builds itself; edit it by chat, get rooms, areas, and schedules automatically, print sheets, and export DXF, IFC, or GLB to keep working in your own CAD software. Import a DWG, DXF, PDF, or a photo of an existing plan to start from what you have.

Free on every account · 0 credits to draw, edit, and export · New accounts start with 500 free credits.

How It Works

From a blank page — or an existing plan — to drawings and a model

01

Draw walls, or import what you have

Sketch walls in 2D and a live, fully editable 3D model of the house builds itself as you go. Already have a plan? Drop in a DWG or DXF from any CAD app, a PDF, or a photo of a printed plan, and keep working from there.

02

Edit by chat, get rooms and schedules for free

Tell the studio what to change in plain English — add a room, move a door, raise the roof. Room detection, floor areas, and door and window schedules generate automatically from the walls you've drawn.

03

Export drawings, sheets, and the model

Elevations, sections, print-ready sheets, and a rough cost estimate come straight from the same model. Take it with you as DXF, IFC, or GLB — or send a plan image to Floor Plan Render (100 credits) for a coloured, furnished presentation plan.

What's Included

A model, not just a picture of one

Draw walls, get a house

Sketch walls in 2D and a live, fully editable 3D model of the house builds itself as you go — not a picture of a house, a model you keep working in.

AI edits by chat

Tell the studio what to change in plain English — add a room, move a door, raise the roof — and watch the model update.

Rooms, areas & schedules

Room detection, floor areas, and door/window schedules generate automatically from your walls. No separate takeoff.

Drawings & a rough budget

Elevations, sections, print-ready sheets, and a ballpark cost estimate from the same model — schematic drawings and rough numbers, not construction documents.

Export to your tools

Take the model with you as IFC, DXF, or GLB and keep working in your CAD, BIM, or 3D software. Schedules export as CSV.

Walk it and share it

Walk the model in first person in the browser, preview it in VR with a headset, and share a private link your client opens without an account.

Who It's For

Built for everyone who has to agree on a layout

Architects

Block out a scheme in minutes, get the areas and schedules without a takeoff, and hand a DXF or IFC to the production model when the direction is agreed.

Interior designers & remodelers

Import the existing plan from a DWG, PDF, or a photo, move the walls that are moving, and show the client a 3D house instead of a 2D drawing.

Builders, developers & homeowners

Test a layout, see a rough budget move as the plan changes, and export a plan an architect or engineer can pick up.

No credits needed

Open Design Studio and start drawing

Drawing, editing, and exporting are free on every account. Sign in and the studio opens in your browser — nothing to install.

Pricing

What the rendering side costs

Design Studio is free. If you also want coloured presentation plans, Floor Plan Render is 100 credits per plan — the same price as every other render tool.

Starter

$29/mo launch price

3,000 credits every month — about 30 rendered plans. Archify watermark included. Unused credits roll over while you stay subscribed.

Pro

$79/mo launch price

10,000 credits every month — about 100 rendered plans. Watermark-free downloads and the video tools. Unused credits roll over while you stay subscribed.

Every plan also includes exterior and interior rendering, virtual staging, 3D models, and more at their own per-run cost. See current plans and one-time credit packs.

FAQ

AI floor plan generation, answered

Is the AI floor plan generator really free?+

Yes. Design Studio — drawing walls, editing by chat, room detection, schedules, elevations, sheets, and DXF/IFC/GLB export — never spends credits, on the free account and on every paid plan. Credits are only used by the rendering tools, for example sending a plan image to Floor Plan Render for a coloured presentation plan.

Can it generate a whole house from a text description?+

It generates from what you draw and edits from what you say. Start a plan — even just the outer walls — and the AI assistant will add rooms, move doors, raise the roof, and rework the layout from plain-English instructions. We don't claim it conjures a finished, code-checked house from one sentence; a tool that promised that would be describing a demo, not a workflow.

Can I import a plan from AutoCAD, Revit, or SketchUp?+

Drop a .dwg or .dxf straight in and it opens as an editable house — walls become real walls. From Revit or SketchUp Pro, export a floor-plan view to DXF and drop that in. A PDF or a photo of a printed plan also works as a starting image. Closed formats like .rvt, .skp, and .3dm can't legally be parsed by a third party, so Archify gives you the exact export steps instead of pretending.

What can I export, and will it open in my CAD software?+

DXF (any CAD app), IFC (Revit, ArchiCAD, and other BIM tools), GLB (any 3D or real-time app), print-ready PDF sheets, elevations, sections, and CSV schedules. Design Studio is built as a schematic design tool that hands off cleanly, not as a replacement for your production software.

Are the drawings and the cost estimate accurate enough to build from?+

No, and the tool says so. Elevations, sections, sheets, and the budget are schematic: the right walls in the right places at the dimensions you drew, and a ballpark number to steer early decisions. Construction documents, structural design, and code compliance still come from your licensed professionals.

How is this different from Floor Plan Render?+

Design Studio makes the plan; Floor Plan Render makes it pretty. Floor Plan Render takes any plan image and returns a coloured, furnished presentation plan for 100 credits with the wall layout preserved — it doesn't know about your model, it reads the picture. Draw in Design Studio, export a PNG, render it when you want the presentation version.

Is there a free way to try it?+

Design Studio itself is free, so the whole floor-plan workflow costs nothing. New accounts start with 500 free credits. That covers a few presentation renders of the plans you draw — no credit card required to sign up.
