Drafto is an AI floor-plan-to-render platform. You upload a floor plan, sketch, or elevation, generate a photorealistic view in chat (typically about 30 seconds), then refine selected regions in Studio.
It is built for real estate marketing and architectural presentation—not as a replacement for CAD, BIM, or production render engines.
Upload a clear 2D floor plan (PNG, JPG, or PDF) to Drafto, describe materials and lighting in chat, and generate a photorealistic spatial or room view. Then compare against the source and edit marked areas in Studio if needed.
Start from the room plan or sketch, not from a blank prompt. In Drafto, upload the plan, ask chat to keep layout and openings, then generate a furnished interior and refine finishes with Studio region edits.
Yes, when the sketch lines are readable. Upload the sketch to Drafto, tell chat to keep massing and viewpoint, describe materials and light, then use Studio for local revisions.
Use Enscape (or similar real-time engines) when you already have a live 3D model in SketchUp, Revit, or Rhino and need design-companion feedback. Use Drafto when you start from a floor plan, sketch, or elevation image and need a fast client- or listing-ready frame in the browser.
Many teams use both at different stages. See the sourced comparison for workflow differences.
In Drafto Studio, open an approved render, select the zone with lasso or marquee, and describe only that change in chat so unmarked architecture stays intact.
Drafto is strongest at plan-first furnished listing visuals: upload a unit floor plan and generate interiors for vacant or off-plan marketing. Empty-room photo staging is related; dedicated empty→staged gallery assets publish as they are added.
No. Drafto runs in the browser. Export or screenshot a viewport, or upload a floor plan or hand sketch, then continue in chat and Studio.
No. Drafto is a visualization and marketing layer. CAD, BIM, engineering, and construction documents remain authoritative for dimensions, systems, and compliance.
Most jobs finish in about 30 seconds depending on resolution and queue load. Higher resolutions take longer and use more credits.
