CAD to 3D Real Estate Visualization

Turn CAD and architectural drawings into 3D marketing. Export from AutoCAD, Revit, or SketchUp—get photorealistic renders, virtual tours, and catalogs in minutes. Your drawings stay the source of truth.

From CAD to Marketing in Three Steps

No re-modeling in 3D software. Export your plan, upload, and use the generated visuals across every channel.

Export from Your CAD or BIM Tool

Export floor plans from AutoCAD, Revit, SketchUp, or any design software as PDF, PNG, or image. Drafto reads the layout—rooms, dimensions, doors, windows—and builds 3D from your existing drawings. No need to remodel in a separate 3D package.

Upload and Generate

Upload the exported plan to Drafto. The AI identifies spatial relationships, room types, and proportions and generates photorealistic interior and exterior renders, interactive 3D models, and marketing materials in minutes. One source file, multiple outputs.

Use Across Marketing and Sales

Use the generated visuals in listings, brochures, investor decks, and websites. When the design changes, export the updated plan and regenerate—no need to keep a separate 3D model in sync. CAD remains the single source of truth.

Outputs You Get from Your Plans

One export produces multiple asset types—so marketing and design stay in sync without duplicate work.

Photorealistic Renders

High-resolution interior and exterior renders suitable for print and web. Use for brochures, boards, presentations, and listing imagery. Same quality you would expect from a manual render pipeline, without the manual step.

Interactive 3D and Virtual Tours

Generate 3D models and virtual tour experiences from your 2D plans. Share links with clients and investors so they can explore the space before construction or photography. Ideal for off-plan and pre-sales marketing.

Catalogs and Project Websites

Drafto can produce sales catalogs and SEO-friendly project pages that combine renders, tours, and copy. All derived from the same CAD export—so marketing stays aligned with the latest design without duplicate production.

Who Benefits from CAD-to-3D Workflows

Anyone who already produces floor plans and needs marketing or presentation visuals without a separate 3D pipeline.

Architects and Designers

Present design intent to clients and developers without maintaining a separate visualization pipeline. Export from Revit or AutoCAD when the design is ready and get client-ready visuals in minutes.

Real Estate Developers

Turn construction documents into sales and investor materials. Keep marketing in sync with design changes by re-exporting and regenerating when plans are updated.

Marketing and Sales Teams

Receive consistent, high-quality visuals from the same plans the project team uses. No waiting for 3D artists or reconciling different file versions—one export, one workflow.

Why Keep CAD as the Source of Truth

No Duplicate 3D Models

You don’t maintain a separate 3D model for visualization. When the design changes in Revit or AutoCAD, you export again and regenerate. Marketing always reflects the latest plan without manual sync.

Fast Turnaround

Renders and tours are generated in minutes, not weeks. Ideal for deadlines, investor updates, and last-minute client requests. No waiting for a 3D artist or render farm.

Easy Revisions

Design iterations are part of the process. When plans are revised, export and re-upload to get updated visuals. No per-revision fees or long handoff cycles.
