Steps
01
Upload the elevation or exterior drawing
Orthographic elevations and clear exterior sketches both work when proportions are readable.
02
Specify materials and keep-list
Name cladding, roof, and glass. State that massing, openings, and viewpoint must stay.
03
Refine facade zones in Studio
Select cladding, entry, or planting areas and chat the change when clients ask for options.
Aim to keep
- Massing and silhouette
- Window rhythm
- Viewpoint / composition
Typically change
- Cladding and materials
- Lighting and sky mood
- Base landscaping context
Questions
No. Those tools still serve when you need live engine control, lighting analysis, or long animations. Drafto covers fast client-facing visualization from drawings and plans.
