INK TO BRICK vs CBUILT7: sketch options and browser walkthroughs

CBUILT7 connects blueprint proposals and hosted model viewing. Decide whether your deliverable is a client walkthrough or a project in which you keep correcting architecture and comparing alternatives.[1][5]

Your taskINK TO BRICKCBUILT7

Access and cost scopeYour first floor is built in 3D free. Pay to edit it; saving and downloads follow the paid-floor or subscription terms on pricing.[4]Conversion result viewing follows payment confirmation on its product page.[1]

Input and starting pointStart from supported drawings, IFC or mesh files; check the import path before uploading.[2]Sketch/photo, canvas drawing or plan image/PDF.[1]

Editing and interactionChat and Expert controls work on the same project. Native elements and imported objects expose different editing controls.[3][2]Describes three or four blueprint variations with dimensions/heights.[1]

Views and reviewInspect the plan and spatial views of the project; keep the source drawing available as reconstruction reference.[3]Advertises browser walkthroughs and Meta Quest 3 viewing.[1]

Preservation and recoverySave accepted changes and compare alternatives; verify the source dimensions and openings after each architectural correction.[3]Distinguish uploading a model to present it from modifying native walls after recognition.[1]

Export and integrationBasic paid-floor delivery includes GLB and PNG/PDF; professional CAD formats depend on the plan. Check imported-object behavior in the recipient tool.[4][2]Lists FBX, OBJ, STL and glTF/GLB uploads for sharing.[1]

See the editing workflow

For an editable plan, inspect a wall operation and an opening operation. Drawing shows the running length; the door changes its swing within the same model. Use these specific tasks when comparing each tool’s documented controls.

The demonstrations use native elements in the sample duplex authored in INK TO BRICK.

Walls, fences and columns

Draw walls corner by corner, control snapping and continuation, reshape a wall, and draw fences and columns.

A wall being drawn on the plan beside the sample duplex, its running length printed next to it as the cursor moves along the grid. — The length follows the cursor until the next click fixes the wall.

See the steps in the manual

Doors and windows

Place doors and windows on a wall, choose their type and size, flip them, and open and close them.

The study door selected on the ground-floor plan, swinging into the study, then flipped to swing into the entry when R is pressed. — R flips a selected door to the other side of its wall.

Sketch proposals can change the source intentionally

If you want new blueprint options, judge circulation and the brief. If you want reconstruction, retain a marked copy of the source and identify which suggestions may change it. Do not approve a generated option as an as-built representation without checking those differences.

Walkthrough presentation and editing have separate acceptance

Test the share link on the recipient’s device and review navigation through a narrow doorway. Separately establish how a missing opening is corrected and whether the corrected version replaces the shared scene. VR viewing is valuable only if that presentation is your actual deliverable.

Review access before paying

We reviewed public documentation, without submitting a paid conversion or testing VR. Ask what can be inspected before payment and agree revision scope. Choose CBUILT7 for its documented presentation direction; evaluate INK TO BRICK for source correction, saved alternatives and supported model imports.[2][3]
