One upload. One minute. A navigable 3D space — rotate, swap materials, share with the client.
Converting a 2D architectural plan to 3D with AI is a process where you upload a 2D floor plan file (PDF, JPG, PNG, or a SketchUp screenshot) and the system automatically builds a navigable 3D space — you can rotate, swap materials, and walk through it. On Boardspace this takes one minute without manually building a model. The tool complements — not replaces — traditional planning software like SketchUp or Revit, but for most client-presentation needs it saves hours of work.
The main use is client presentation. Instead of asking the client to imagine how the 25 sqm living room will look from a flat 2D plan — you show them a 3D walkthrough that starts at the apartment entry, turns into the living room, and continues to the kitchen. The client understands immediately. First approval cycles shrink from two weeks to a few days.
A secondary use is self-check by the designer. A 2D plan can look great on paper, but the moment you rotate it to 3D you may find the kitchen-living transition is too narrow, or the east window too large. Catching problems in planning saves tens of thousands of shekels in execution.
Once Boardspace has built the 3D model, you can rotate it 360°, move the 'camera' through the space, and save specific angles. From a flat 80 sqm floor plan you get 6 presentation-ready camera angles in one minute.
Material swap: click on a floor / wall / ceiling and pick from the menu. Tile floor → oak parquet, white wall → concrete accent wall. Changes propagate live across the model.
Save and share: export to image (PNG / JPG), to a walkthrough video (MP4), or to a DAE file you can open in SketchUp. The canvas link goes to the client, who can rotate the space themselves in the browser — no download.
AI is not an accurate CAD model. If you need millimeter-grade dimensional accuracy — Boardspace doesn't replace SketchUp or Revit. For client presentation, the AI 'good-enough' quality is more than sufficient. For contractor handoff, complement with CAD software.
Quality depends on input quality. A 2D plan with clean lines, clear dimensions, and a defined scale yields much better results than a hand-pencil sketch. The more standard the input, the better the output.
Supported formats: PNG, JPG, single-page PDF, screenshot from SketchUp or AutoCAD. Drag onto the Boardspace canvas.
Right-click the image and pick 'Floorplan to 3D.' The system auto-detects walls, openings, and partitions.
The 3D model is built automatically. Speed depends on plan complexity — an average apartment finishes in 60-90 seconds.
Click a floor or wall and pick a material. The library includes ceramic tile, parquet, stone, concrete, and paint colors.
The 'Share' button generates a canvas link. The client can rotate, move the camera, and comment — all in the browser.
