Comparing housing unit types before a sales presentation

Two unit types may have the same bedroom count but very different entries, storage, and usable living space. Build a clearly labeled comparison of the layouts before the sales team chooses which model and image to show a buyer. This is unit-type review, not an inventory or reservation system.

Compare alternative designs within one unit. Open the home and tool for this exercise. Options, edits and comments stay in this browser; starting your home does not transfer the sample. Your own project requires an account and the access described in pricing.

Compact two-bed, whole space: AI-generated visualization of the reference 3D model.
Two bedrooms share a bathroom behind an open kitchen and living space. AI-generated visualization; explore eight views and their source captures below.

What you can do

  • A navigable conceptual model for each unit type.
  • Separate saved furnishing and finish options within each type’s reconstruction.
  • A visualization tied to the captured source view and saved revision for each comparison.

Limits to keep in mind

  • No sales inventory, availability tracking, or reservation workflow. Keep approved areas, prices, and inclusions in the sales documents.
  • No certified dimensions or construction documents. Check the source and verify critical measurements on site.

Features you can use

One project per unit type

Keep each apartment or house layout in its own project with a clear type label and saved revisions.

Comparable model views

Inspect the entry, circulation, and furniture footprint in each model rather than comparing brochure images drawn at different scales.

Source-linked images

Keep each visualization tied to the captured view and saved model revision so an image is not mistaken for a different unit type.

For current controls and account requirements, use the editor manual.

Compare the model and the images

Choose an angle, then move the divider to compare the original 3D view with its generated image.

Label the source and the unit type

Create a project for each distinct apartment or house layout. Use a neutral type code, such as “Two-bedroom A,” and record the source drawing revision in your comparison notes. Treat a mirrored layout or changed door position as a different source to review, not as a furniture option. If you later publish, the project title and summary become public; leave buyer names and private addresses out of them.

Upload the complete plan for that type. Select the required PDF page and crop in the local preparation workspace first. A multi-floor building project can combine floors of one design; it does not turn alternative unit types into a sales comparison or availability list.

Compare the same questions for every type

RecordWhy it matters
Type code, source revision, and mirrored variantPrevents a furnished view from being paired with a different floor plan.
Entry, bedroom access, and storage locationsShows which routes and usable spaces change even when bedroom counts match.
The same furniture dimensions and intended useAvoids making one type appear larger by furnishing it with smaller pieces.
Quoted area and the boundary used to measure itKeeps the developer’s approved area separate from a conceptual model estimate.
Keep a unit-type comparison beside the approved sales documents.

Check the reported scale status and two independent dimensions against reliable plans for each model. Use comparable camera angles and furnishing assumptions when you review the types. A compact entry, a door swing, or a longer route to the bedroom may explain the difference better than a total-area figure.

Keep each comparison tied to its revision

Save the selected furniture and finishes within the correct unit-type project. If you generate a photoreal image from the current view, keep it beside its source capture and exact source GLB in the project gallery. Check the model for layout decisions; an image can add details that are not modeled.

Once the unit-type labels, source revisions, and comparison notes are settled, follow the public model release workflow for selling from a plan to review the public fields, preview the release, and publish intentionally. That page covers release updates and the limits of taking a public model down.

What the example demonstrates

In Isla de Pascua, original SketchUp and plan dimensions were refined through MCP/AI using photographs and video. It is a visual interpretation, not a certified survey or evidence of automatic conversion without review. Compare your model with your own source and record decisions that change the interpretation.

Your next decision

Compare the same entry, storage and living-space questions for each unit type. Match every published model and image to the approved sales drawing revision.

Guided shows common tasks and Expert exposes direct controls on the same canvas. Assistant changes require an available allowance. The drawing remains the reconstruction reference. The account, editor and billing application currently use English.

You see your home in 3D before you pay, and editing it needs a plan. A failed build goes back to your monthly builds. Check access and pricing before you begin.
