AI Convert is a fast and easy way to turn a blueprint into a floor plan. Sometimes, the result isn’t what you expected or the conversion may fail.
Here are the most common reasons and how to fix them:
- The Blueprint Isn’t Supported
- The Blueprint Is Too Blurry
- The Blueprint Has Too Much Noise
- The Blueprint Is Crooked
- The Scale Was Set Incorrectly
- The Blueprint Doesn't Have Enough Contrast
- Still Not Working?
The Blueprint Isn’t Supported
AI Convert works best with clear, computer-generated 2D floor plans.
Supported blueprints include:
- Architectural floor plan drawings (PDF, JPG, or PNG)
- Real estate listing floor plans
- Old scanned blueprints (as long as they are clear and readable)
Not supported blueprints:
- Photos of real rooms
- Hand-drawn sketches
- 3D images or renderings
- Elevation drawings (side views of a building)
- Perspective drawings
The Blueprint Is Too Blurry
If the image is low-quality, the AI may not correctly recognize walls and details.
What you can do:
- Use a higher-resolution image.
- If you took a photo, retake it in good lighting and make sure the blueprint is sharp and in focus.
The Blueprint Has Too Much Noise
Extra elements like text, stamps, or borders can confuse the AI.
What you can do:
- Crop the image to show only the floor plan and remove unnecessary areas (logos, notes, legends).
- Here is how to crop:
- After uploading your blueprint, grab a corner of the image and adjust the frame.
- Move it to include only the relevant part of the blueprint.
- When ready, click Crop in the top right corner.
The Blueprint Is Crooked
If the image is tilted, the AI may misinterpret walls and angles.
What you can do:
- Use the Straighten tool when uploading your blueprint, here is how:
- After uploading your blueprint, click Straighten in the top right corner.
- If it looks good, click Done.
The Scale Was Set Incorrectly
AI Convert needs one known measurement to scale your floor plan correctly.
How scaling works:
- You place a scale bar on a known length (for example, a wall or door).
- Then you enter the real-world measurement.
What you can do:
- Choose a clear, easy-to-measure element (like a wall or door).
- Enter the correct length.
- Double-check if you have the correct units (meters or feet).
Tip: If your blueprint doesn’t include measurements, estimate one (for example, a standard door width).
The Blueprint Doesn't Have Enough Contrast
If the blueprint has low contrast (for example, a grey background with faint lines), the AI may struggle to detect walls and details.
What you can do:
- Increase the contrast using an image editing tool (make lines darker and background lighter)
- If you took the photo yourself, retake it with better lighting
- Make sure walls and lines are clearly visible and stand out from the background
Tip: Clear black lines on a white background work best for AI Convert.
Still Not Working?
If AI Convert still doesn’t give you the result you want, you can:
- Try again with an improved blueprint.
- Or use another method like Trace or Draw from Scratch
