Guides for turning a floor plan into a 3D model.

Step-by-step guides for converting PDF and image floor plans, connecting Codex and API workflows, checking the result, and exporting to Blender, SketchUp, CAD, AR and 3D printing.

Reading order

  1. Connect Codex to INK TO BRICK with MCP

    Connect Codex to the INK TO BRICK MCP server, authorize read access, and understand which project and Design Option tasks it supports.

  4. How to convert a PDF floor plan to a 3D model

    Convert a PDF floor plan to 3D: prepare a one-page PDF, preserve scale evidence, check the reported status and a second dimension, and diagnose source or reconstruction errors.

  5. How to check doors and windows after an AI floor plan conversion

    Missing doors or windows can come from source ambiguity, reconstruction errors, or hidden geometry. Five checks separate those causes and explain what you can correct.

  6. Five details to check in a 3D room model before planning furniture

    A 3D room can look right while its measurements stay unresolved. Check scale, the route in, real furniture sizes, what is unknown, and one question per layout.

  7. SVG, PDF, DXF, DWG, GLB or USDZ: which floor plan export do you need?

    Twenty exports in four groups: drawings, 3D models, data and images. What each format is for, who reads it, and which plan includes it, in one table.

  8. Convert a PDF or JPG floor plan to DXF or DWG

    Upload a PDF or JPG floor plan, get a conceptual 3D model, then export a layered DXF or DWG drawing at the paper size and scale your CAD handoff needs.

  9. Floor plan to Blender: import a 3D house model as GLB or OBJ

    Export GLB, glTF or OBJ from a floor plan model and import it into Blender. Check scale, axes and materials, plus the DAE limit in Blender 5.
