  • Updated

RoomSketcher’s AI Convert lets you upload a computer-generated blueprint and instantly turn it into a fully editable floor plan. The AI detects walls, doors, and windows and creates a project you can refine in the RoomSketcher App by adding materials and furniture.

AI Convert is available for all users from web portal

You can follow the steps below, watch the video, or join one of our AI Floor Plans webinars to see it in action.

 


The steps below cover:

AI Convert is currently in beta, and we’re continually improving it.

How Do I Use AI Convert?

To use AI Convert, upload your plan, set the scale, and start the AI conversion to get an editable floor plan. Once created, open the project in the RoomSketcher App to edit it. Below, we'll walk you through all the steps.

And the best part: Your first AI conversion is free!
 

Step 1: Upload Your Blueprint in AI Convert

The first step is to upload your blueprint. You can use any computer-created plans, e.g., architectural plans or old blueprints. Please note that hand-drawn plans are not possible (yet!).

  1. Sign in to your web portal from a computer, tablet, or phone.
  2. Click New Project and then Upload Plan.
  3. Select your file. You can upload JPG, PNG, or PDF formats.
    If you have a multi-page PDF, you can select the page in the next window. 
  4. If the plan looks slightly crooked, click Straighten to let our AI Agent fix the alignment.

  5. Rotate if needed, and crop out any extra space by dragging the handles and clicking Crop.
  6. When it looks right, click Done.
     

Step 2: Scale the Blueprint

In this step, you tell AI how large your floor plan is. With the "Set Length" option, you set the length of one wall, and AI will be able to set the correct measurement scale:

  1. Drag the Scale Bar along a wall that you know the exact length of.
  2. Click Set Length. A new window opens where you set the length, i.e. you tell AI how long this wall should be.

  3. Enter the known measurement and click Done.

Tip: In the Set Length window, click the settings wheel in the top left corner to adjust your personal preferences. You can, for example, adjust the measurement units if needed (feet/inches, metric, or inches only).

  2. Review the available settings, such as kitchen style, window types, and window top height.
  3. Click Convert to start the AI process.

 

Step 4: Preview the Converted Floor Plan

Once the preview appears, explore your results using:

  • Blueprint to view the original
  • Mix to compare before/after
  • 2D to see the result which, once saved, will be editable in the RoomSketcher App.

  2. Enter a Project Name and choose a floor name.
  3. Click Save again to store your new editable floor plan.

Note: Saving a converted floor plan costs 5 Credits. Don’t worry, you’re only charged if you decide to save it. If you don’t like the AI’s result, just cancel and it won’t cost you anything.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I use AI Convert with a Free subscription?
Yes! AI Convert is available for all RoomSketcher users. Just sign in to your web portal - your first AI Convert is free! After that, you can continue using AI Convert with Credits, available for purchase in the top-right corner of your web portal.

What if the AI conversion isn’t perfect?
You can edit the floor plan in the RoomSketcher App after conversion. Walls, doors, windows, and stairs can all be adjusted. Plus, you can add furniture and material to create professional 2D and 3D Floor Plans. And should the AI conversion didn't turn out as expected, you can always cancel it in the preview and you won't be charged for it.

Does AI Convert detect furniture?
AI focuses primarily on walls, doors, windows and stairs. You can easily add furniture afterward in the RoomSketcher App.

What is Set Length?
“Set Length” is the step where you help RoomSketcher’s AI understand the size of your blueprint. During the AI Convert process, you’ll drag the Scale Bar along a wall whose real-world length you already know. When you click "Set Length," a pop-up appears where you enter the exact measurement. This tells the AI the correct scale for your entire floor plan, ensuring that the converted plan has accurate wall lengths and room proportions.
