In development
AI floor planner
An AI floor planner that reads a plan image and draws the walls for you is in development and is not available yet. What works today: trace over an uploaded image or PDF at its true scale, let the Studio detect rooms from your walls, and furnish them with Smart Layout.

Does Arcvelle have an AI floor planner?
Not yet. AI recognition of plan images is in development and cannot be used today. In Arcvelle Studio you can trace over a JPG, PNG, WebP or PDF plan set to its true scale, rooms are detected from the walls you draw, and Smart Layout, a rules engine rather than an AI model, can furnish them.
What it will do
Planned features
In development: plan recognition
The aim is to read walls, doors and windows from an uploaded plan image and draw them as an editable starting point for you to check. It is not released.
Available now: tracing
Upload an image or the first page of a PDF and draw over it. Setting a PDF's scale, such as 1:100, places it at true size.
Available now: room detection
Rooms and their areas are found automatically from enclosed walls. This is geometry, not AI, and works on any plan you draw.
Available now: Smart Layout
Furnish a room or the whole plan in one of 10 interior styles using placement rules for 9 room types. It is a rules engine, not a language model.
How to
What you can do today
Step 1: Upload your plan
Add a JPG, PNG, WebP or PDF of the layout you want to work from.
Step 2: Trace the walls
Draw over the image by hand, checking a measured wall against the drawing as you go.
Step 3: Furnish with Smart Layout
Pick a style and let Smart Layout place furniture, then adjust anything you want to change.

Who it is for
Digitising an existing plan today
Tracing takes longer than automatic recognition would, but gives you a plan you have checked wall by wall.
Quick furnishing ideas

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Can Arcvelle turn a picture of a floor plan into walls automatically?
Not today. Automatic plan recognition is in development. You can upload the picture and trace the walls over it by hand, which gives you an editable plan at the scale you set.
Is Smart Layout an AI feature?
No. Smart Layout follows written placement rules for nine room types and ten interior styles. It does not use a language model. A planner based on a language model is a separate feature that is in development.
Is anything in the Arcvelle floor planner automatic today?
Yes, two things. Rooms and their areas are detected automatically from the walls you draw, and Smart Layout can furnish a room or a whole plan in a chosen style.
How accurate is a traced plan?
It is as accurate as the source drawing and the scale you set. Estate agent plans are often approximate, so measure at least one long wall yourself and compare it with the drawn length.
When will AI plan recognition be released?
There is no release date to announce. This page will change when the feature is available, and until then it is marked as in development.
