Make Floor Plan

Product Introduction

1. Overview: Make Floor Plan is a cloud-based, AI-powered architectural design platform that functions as a hybrid generative and manual floor plan creator. It operates within a standard web browser, eliminating the need for complex CAD software installations like AutoCAD or Revit.
2. Value: The primary benefit is democratizing early-stage spatial planning by allowing users to instantly visualize and iterate on layout concepts from multiple input modalities—text descriptions, hand-drawn sketches, or manual object placement—all within a single, unified workspace.

Main Features

1. Text-to-Plan AI Generator: Converts plain-language prompts describing room counts, dimensions (e.g., '3-bedroom house with a 20x15 ft living room') into clean, labeled 2D floor plans. It supports multiple output styles including technical line drawings, colored 2D layouts, and 3D isometric views.
2. Sketch Cleanup & AI Visual Editing: Uses computer vision to transform uploaded rough sketches or existing floor plan images into polished, vector-style diagrams. Features controlled editing where users can select parts of a plan, describe changes, and generate new versions without overwriting the original, maintaining a private version history.
3. Interactive Editable Canvas & 3D Preview: Provides a manual drafting interface with tools to place parametric objects like walls, doors, windows, and furniture. Any 2D plan can be previewed dynamically from a bird's-eye or isometric 3D angle for spatial validation before exporting to PNG or print-ready PDF formats.

Problems Solved

1. Challenge: The high barrier to entry and time investment required for professional Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and Building Information Modeling (BIM) software for conceptual design stages.
2. Audience: Homeowners planning renovations, real estate agents creating listing materials, interior designers drafting concepts, and builders/architects needing quick client communication tools.
3. Scenario: A real estate agent needs a clean, professional floor plan for a property listing within an hour. Instead of hiring a drafter, they upload a rough sketch, use the AI to clean it up, add standardized symbols on the canvas, and export a client-ready PDF.

Unique Advantages

1. Vs Competitors: Unlike single-function AI generators or complex CAD suites, it combines generative AI (text-to-plan, sketch cleanup) with a practical manual editor and 3D preview in one tool. This covers the entire early workflow from ideation to presentable draft without switching platforms.
2. Innovation: Its 'Controlled AI Visual Editing' is a technical edge, allowing non-destructive, instruction-based modifications to specific plan elements. This preserves original assets and creates a branched version history, a feature uncommon in lightweight web-based design tools.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What file formats can I export my floor plan in? Make Floor Plan allows you to export your final designs as high-resolution PNG images for digital use or as print-ready PDF documents, suitable for professional presentations and construction documents.
2. Do I need any design or CAD experience to use this tool? No prior CAD experience is necessary. The platform is built for users of all skill levels, utilizing plain-language AI prompts and an intuitive drag-and-drop canvas, making architectural drafting accessible without a steep learning curve.
3. How does the AI handle specific dimensions and room requirements? The text-to-plan AI generator is engineered to parse natural language descriptions containing precise metrics and room lists. Inputting prompts like 'a 1200 sq ft apartment with a 12x16 master bedroom' will yield a proportionally accurate 2D layout reflecting those constraints.
