What happens when you upload an old drawing
You make a project for the home and upload one floor plan: a PDF, SVG, DXF, PNG, or JPEG file of 25 MiB or smaller. The conversion uses one available import. The file is checked, then the workflow reads the drawing, traces walls and spaces, closes gaps, saves the model, draws the base plan and raises the 3D model.
You can close the tab; the work continues on the server. The progress screen shows completed processing steps rather than estimating time remaining or measurement accuracy.
Processing can also stop without failing. Where the workflow cannot convert a drawing automatically, the screen says Not available yet. Any model that returns is still conceptual: drawing context and known lengths provide scale evidence, and supported homes can be rebuilt from a measurement into a fresh option. Existing drawn options retain their old scale; no accuracy tolerance is established. Compare its geometry with dimensions printed on the source and check the critical ones on site.
What to check before you plan anything on it
An old drawing describes a building as it was drawn, not as it stands today. A wall gets moved, a door gets filled in, and the page in the drawer records neither. Check the model against the drawing, and the drawing against the building, before you plan around either.
- Compare the model-space extent with an overall dimension printed on the drawing. If they differ, treat the model as an interpretation to correct, not as a measurement of the building.
- Take a tape to one wall on site, and make it the wall you most want to change. A mismatch is a reason to check the rest of the drawing; one matching wall does not verify the whole plan.
- Compare the space count and model-space area estimate with the home you know. A plan and a deed can disagree about area for ordinary reasons, which is its own subject: why your plan and your model disagree about the area.
Keep the source distinct from the proposal
Review the reconstruction before proposing changes. Design Options keep furniture and finish variants distinct from the source; the manual editor also allows direct conceptual wall and opening corrections. Keep an existing-conditions revision, label the proposal clearly and check scale and critical dimensions on site before ordering or building.
Design Options separate furniture and finish proposals from the source reference. The manual editor also exposes direct wall, door and window tools on the same canvas. Save and label conceptual geometry changes separately, then ask the responsible professional to check structure, services, permits and construction dimensions; the editor does not approve those decisions.
When the change you want is a wall
Many renovations begin by moving a wall. Keep the reviewed source as a reference, then use Expert tools for a conceptual wall or opening change. Guided shows common tasks and Expert exposes direct controls on the same model. Structural work still needs verified site conditions and a qualified drawing.
Plan the changes the editor supports
Use Design Options to compare furniture and finishes while keeping the reviewed reconstruction as reference. Processing a new physical floor uses one floor unit. Manual edits and alternatives on that floor are included; export formats vary by plan. The project creator or an assigned customer Editor with an available seat can use the export library, and only while the project is nonpublic. the pricing page explains current access.
If you are going to show this to a contractor
Say what it is before you open it. It is a conceptual model built from your drawing, and the model download does not include a quantity estimate or quote. The download is a GLB scene and a JSON room map of boundaries and doorway connections, each listed with its byte size and SHA-256, so you can identify the saved or compiled revision you handed over.
If the contractor wants dimensions to order from, verify them on site before placing the order. Reading a measurement off a drawing is its own job, and reading distances from a plan model covers what a conceptual model can and cannot settle.
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
Label existing conditions and the proposed revision separately. Give the contractor the chosen conceptual option, the source and a list of measurements and permissions still needing approval.
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.
