INK TO BRICK vs CubiCasa: phone capture and real-estate deliverables

CubiCasa starts with a property visit; INK TO BRICK starts with supplied drawings or models. They can serve successive steps when you need capture first and renovation review afterward.[1][5]

INK TO BRICKReviewed October 7, 2026

Choose INK TO BRICK if

Continue the design review from an existing drawing or supported model, after checking the captured source and its dimensions.[2][3]

Mobile capture and packaged listing deliverables.[1]

Task by task

Your taskINK TO BRICKCubiCasa

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]Compare turnaround and add-ons for the required deliverable.[1]

Input and starting pointUse the delivered drawing or supported model as an input for later reconstruction or project review.[2]An iOS/Android property scan is the documented starting point.[1]

Editing and interactionChat and Expert controls work on the same project. Native elements and imported objects expose different editing controls.[3][2]Web customization follows the delivered floor plan.[1]

Views and reviewInspect the plan and spatial views of the project; keep the source drawing available as reconstruction reference.[3]Offers 2D plans, 3D floor plans, tours and video products.[1]

Preservation and recoverySave accepted changes and compare alternatives; verify the source dimensions and openings after each architectural correction.[3]Check measured dimensions and missing spaces against site records.[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 CAD/model add-ons including DWG, DAE, OBJ and FBX.[1]

See the editing workflow

For a survey, scan or delivered plan, compare the measurements and views available for review. The measurement shown belongs to the sample model; Mixed view lets you relate plan position to height. Neither screenshot establishes measured accuracy for an uploaded property.

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

Measuring

Measure distances, angles, areas, perimeters and volumes, read any surface with smart measure, and add drafting dimensions in the Expert floor plan.

See the steps in the manual

Views and screenshots

Switch between plan, 3D and split, change how walls and levels show, preview and walk through the home, and save a picture of the view.

The sample duplex in Mixed view: the ground-floor plan on one side and the 3D model on the other. — Mixed keeps the plan and the model side by side.

Capture has its own acceptance criteria

Record inaccessible rooms and verify a few independent measurements during the visit. A complete-looking plan does not establish that every recess was observed. Ask how revisions are requested before promising a date to a client.

Listing output and a renovation project differ

A listing may need a polished labeled image, while a renovation needs openings and partitions you can change. Inspect a sample CAD or model add-on in the recipient application. A product called a 3D floor plan can be a presentation deliverable.

A complementary sequence

Use CubiCasa when someone can visit and the goal is capture or listing production. Evaluate the delivered drawing as a later INK TO BRICK input. We reviewed public offerings, without scanning a property, ordering add-ons or testing their exported geometry.[2][3]
