INK TO BRICK vs Maket: existing plans and new layouts

Maket covers both new layouts and existing-plan recognition. The choice is not simply generation versus editing: test the source and handoff your project requires.[1][5]

Task by task

Your taskINK TO BRICKMaket

Price and accessYour first floor is built in 3D free. Pay to edit it and save. Floor packages start at USD 4.99 for a purchased floor, with optional Pro and Studio subscriptions.[4]Free starter credits; subscriptions include different upload allowances and paid downloadable exports.[2]

Recognize an existing planReview the reconstructed structure and correct supported elements with chat or Expert controls.[5]Its recognizer describes uploaded plans becoming editable walls, rooms and openings.[3]

Generate or preserveStart from the supplied drawing or supported model; inspect geometry before making design changes.[6]Offers new plan generation as well as upload and refinement.[1]

Deliver the resultChoose from the project’s supported exports and share a saved revision with its review context.[5]Paid plans list PDF, DXF and render exports; Pro describes human-validated uploads.[2]

See the editing workflow

For a generated arrangement, compare how you would inspect the level structure and make a specific spatial change afterward. The examples show the sample building’s level list and a native wall being drawn, rather than a generated image being painted over.

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

Floors, ceilings and stairs

Automatic floors and ceilings, drawing your own slabs, adding levels, moving between them, and placing stairs.

Walls, fences and columns

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

Separate reconstruction from design exploration

For an existing apartment, first check whether the model keeps the original walls, openings and dimensions. For a new house, judge the proposed layouts against your brief. Those are different tasks, even when the same application offers both.

What we reviewed

We reviewed Maket’s current product, recognition and pricing pages. We did not use a paid upload or its human-validation service. Vendor accuracy language is not our independent measurement.[7]

Sources and scope

The cited vendor pages support the capability comparison. Any direct demo observation is identified in the article; this is not a matched-source accuracy benchmark. Product details can change. Unavailable sources are identified, and older claims are not treated as current limitations. Check the linked plan, price and export details.
