AI 3D model generation (in development)
This feature is in development. The 3D modeler already shows a prompt box for describing a piece, but it is disabled until AI modelling is ready. Today, models are built from parametric archetypes and exported as GLB.

Can Arcvelle generate a 3D model from a text description?
Not yet. AI 3D model generation is in development, and the prompt box in the 3D modeler is disabled until it is ready. It is intended to turn a short description into a furniture model. Today you build models from parametric archetypes by setting dimensions, then export GLB or add them to Arcvelle Studio.
What it will do
Planned features
Planned: describe a piece
The intention is that you type a description, such as a low oak bench with two shelves, and get a model back. The prompt box is disabled until then.
Planned: used like any other model
Generated pieces are meant to be added to Arcvelle Studio in the same way as parametric models. This is not available yet.
Available now: parametric archetypes
Choose a furniture archetype in the 3D modeler and set its dimensions to build a piece that fits.
Available now: a library of 80+ models
Arcvelle Studio includes over 80 parametric models across 11 categories, from living and dining to outdoor and structure.
Available now: GLB export
Export models from the modeler as GLB files, or send them straight into a design.
How to
What you can do today
Step 1: Open the 3D modeler
Choose the archetype closest to the piece you have in mind.
Step 2: Shape it by dimension
Set width, depth and height and the other parameters until it matches what you need.
Step 3: Use the result
Download it as GLB or add it to your project in Arcvelle Studio.

Use cases
Who it is for
Unusual pieces
Today, get close with a parametric archetype. Once available, a prompt is intended to help with shapes the archetypes do not cover.
Blocking out a room
Use library models and archetypes now to block out a room's furniture before choosing real products.
Sharing models
Export GLB from the modeler for use in other 3D software or a web-based viewer.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Why is the prompt box visible if it does not work?
It marks where AI modelling will appear once it is ready. It is disabled so it cannot be mistaken for a working feature. Everything else in the modeler works today.
Will AI-generated models have accurate dimensions?
Not automatically. Shapes generated from a description will be approximate, so check any piece against real measurements before relying on it. Parametric models built today follow the exact dimensions you enter.
Can I upload a 3D model I already have?
Not at the moment. Uploading your own GLB files is another feature in development. Models currently come from the built-in library or the parametric modeler.
What can I export from the modeler today?
GLB files, which carry a model's shape and materials in a single file. You can also send the model directly into Arcvelle Studio.
Does using the modeler cost anything?
No. The 3D modeler is free to use today and, like the rest of Arcvelle, runs in your browser without an account.
