Uploading Plan Images
Archvisio can use your architectural drawings as reference for generating renders. Upload floor plans, elevations, sections, or any technical drawing to give the AI a precise structural reference.
Supported Formats
- JPG / PNG / WebP — Directly uploaded and processed
- TIFF — Supported for high-resolution scans
- PDF — Multi-page PDFs are automatically split into individual images; each page becomes a separate plan image you can select
For best results, use clean scans with good contrast. Hand-drawn sketches work too — the AI is good at interpreting rough drawings.
Uploading a Plan
- Open your project and click Add plan in the left panel
- Drag and drop your file or click to browse
- Once uploaded, the image is stored securely and a thumbnail is generated automatically
- Click the Describe button (✨) to have Claude AI analyse your drawing and generate a text description — this helps the AI understand what it's looking at
Using Multiple Plans
You can upload several drawings per project — different elevations, floor plan, section, etc. When generating a render, select which plans to include. Multi-reference models (Nano 2, GPT Image 2.5, Seedream 5 Pro) can use all of them simultaneously for more accurate results.
AI Plan Description
The Describe feature sends your plan to Claude Vision which generates a structured text summary: building type, number of floors, architectural style, key features. This description is automatically included in the render prompt, improving accuracy — especially for models that rely on text instructions.
You don't need to describe every plan. It's most useful for complex or unconventional drawings that the AI might otherwise misinterpret.
