INK TO BRICK vs Planovexa: AI layout concepts and editable projects

Choose between exploring a new house brief and developing a supplied plan or model. Both products describe editing; preservation and the next deliverable decide the fit.[1][5]

INK TO BRICKReviewed October 7, 2026

Choose INK TO BRICK if

Continue from a supplied drawing or supported model, inspect spatial views and correct native elements or imported objects in an ongoing project.[2][3]

Choose Planovexa if

Whole-home concepts, room redesign and reference-image styling in one workspace.[1]

Task by task

Your taskINK TO BRICKPlanovexa

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]Price the uploaded-plan workflow separately from repeated concept generation.[1]

Input and starting pointStart from supported drawings, IFC or mesh files; check the import path before uploading.[2]Image/PDF upload, a brief or a blank canvas.[1]

Editing and interactionChat and Expert controls work on the same project. Native elements and imported objects expose different editing controls.[3][2]Advertises editable projects and changes described in words.[1]

Views and reviewInspect the plan and spatial views of the project; keep the source drawing available as reconstruction reference.[3]Documents 3D exploration and style references.[1]

Preservation and recoverySave accepted changes and compare alternatives; verify the source dimensions and openings after each architectural correction.[3]Ask whether a room edit preserves accepted adjacent rooms; test the doorway that joins them.[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]Agree the downloadable file and destination before choosing it for a model handoff.[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.

A new brief and a source drawing need different checks

For a new brief, compare room relationships and whether an alternative resolves the program. For a supplied drawing, mark the entrance, terrace and unusual partitions before uploading. A plausible redesign can still change a detail you intended to retain.

Separate a style change from a layout change

Request a finish change first, then a single opening change. Revisit both rooms in the project rather than approving only the rendered view. In INK TO BRICK, review supported native geometry through chat and Expert controls; imported meshes require object-level decisions.[2][3]

Documented scope and a practical choice

This is a product-page comparison, without a signed-in Planovexa editor or export test. Shortlist Planovexa for whole-home concept exploration. Evaluate INK TO BRICK when the work must continue from a supplied model, with separate saved alternatives and a reviewed handoff.[2][3]
