3. Depending on the material, you may be asked if you want to place it on the Walls, Floor, or both.

Can I Try Different Floor Materials With AI Render?

Yes. With AI Render. 

AI Render is a feature in the RoomSketcher Web Portal that turns your RoomSketcher 3D views into photorealistic images and lets you explore different design ideas. You can explore different flooring materials in a photorealistic image without changing the material in your RoomSketcher project.

After creating an AI Render, use a text prompt to describe the flooring you want to try. For example:

Replace the flooring with wide-plank light oak hardwood with a matte finish. Keep everything else the same.

You can also upload a reference image of a flooring material and tell AI Render where you want to use it.

Tip: Be specific about the material, color, finish, and the area you want to change.
