INK TO BRICK vs FloorPlan API: editable models or data

FloorPlan API targets extraction for software applications. INK TO BRICK supports reviewing and developing an editable project. Choose around the next task: consuming data or correcting and presenting a space.[1][3]

INK TO BRICKReviewed October 7, 2026

Choose INK TO BRICK if

A workflow for review, supported element editing, layout alternatives, presentation and export from a saved revision.[3][4]

Choose FloorPlan API if

A focus on structured plan data can suit an application that needs extracted geometry. Confirm access: the site reported paused sign-ups on October 7.[1][2]

Price and availabilityFloor packages start at USD 4.99 for one floor. Your first floor is built in 3D free. Pay to edit it. Pro and Studio include MCP; API access is arranged separately.[5]Paused sign-ups and a waitlist were visible at review. Confirm service availability before budgeting an integration.[2]

Continue with existing modelsImport IFC and supported models, retaining recoverable native editing and objects for other geometry.[4]The reviewed pages focus on plan extraction; we did not verify an imported-model editing workflow.[1]

The output you needAn editable project for reviewing architecture, objects and layout options.[3]Plan geometry data for a software workflow.[1]

What was testedThe illustrated comparison uses our authored duplex to show editing. It is not a conversion of the demo’s source.[6]We selected Studio Apartment in the public demo: it showed three rooms, 500.2 sq ft and three symbols. This was not our plan or an accuracy test.[6]

See the editing workflow

For an API or model-file workflow, compare the review interface as well as the file. These captures show the expert tools and linked plan/3D views on the authored sample duplex. Imported geometry needs a separate check of which objects and controls remain editable.

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

The editor at a glance

The top bar, the nine side tabs, the view toolbars, the bottom toolbar, the inspector and the command palette.

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.

Choose by the next operation

If your application needs room polygons or extracted geometry, evaluate the API schema and access. If you need to correct an opening, compare furniture and share a version, test those editor tasks before choosing.
