Plan to 3D
Floor plan to 3D model
Upload a PDF, a scan or a screenshot of a floor plan and get 3D back — either a presentation-ready axonometric view in about a minute, or real geometry with walls, openings, stairs and a roof that you can edit and export.
4 credits ($0.35) for a 3D view · 25 credits ($2.19) for editable geometry
A plan in, a 3D view out
This is the fast route: Plan to Model extrudes the plan into an axonometric view in the style you pick — black card, white card, clay, wooden, architectural sketch or a 3D software render look.
Input
OutputIt is the right tool for a brochure page, a listing, an Instagram post or a quick spatial explanation in a meeting. It is the wrong tool if somebody is going to ask you to move a wall, because there is no wall to move — only pixels.
Or turn the plan into geometry you can actually change
Load the same plan into the Astra Modeller as a reference and it reconstructs the layout as parts rather than pixels.
Walls become walls. Doors and windows become real openings with glazing. Floors become slabs, the upper slab gets a genuine stairwell void, and a flat, gable or hip roof goes on top. You can orbit it, switch floors, read a labelled 2D plan and a room schedule, recolour the finishes for free, undo, and export a validated GLB.
Every repair the plan cleanup made — a room slid back inside the footprint, an overlap resolved, a wall squared, a duplicate merged — is written out as a design note you can read. Nothing is quietly corrected behind your back.
Which route to pick
| Plan to Model (image) | Astra Modeller (geometry) | |
|---|---|---|
| What comes back | An image of a 3D axonometric view | Named parts: walls, openings, glazing, slabs, stairs, roof |
| Can you edit it after | No — re-run with different settings | Yes, in plain English, and colours are free |
| Exportable file | The image | Validated GLB (SketchUp / 3ds Max scripts are experimental) |
| Price | 4 credits ($0.35) | 25 credits ($2.19) |
| Room schedule and 2D plan | No | Yes, free, with CSV and PDF export |
| Client share link | Share the image | Free read-only /m/ link, Android AR, no account needed |
| Good for | Brochures, listings, social posts | A concept you will keep changing |
How it works
- 1Start from the plan you already haveAn estate-agent floor plan, a scanned drawing, a screenshot or a PDF all work. If it is a PDF, page 1 is rasterised in your browser at up to 2048 px, so the server only ever receives an image and no PDF tooling has to be installed anywhere.
- 2Pick the output you needIf you want a picture for a brochure or a listing, use Plan to Model — it returns a 3D axonometric view in a chosen style. If you want something you can walk through, change and export, load the plan into the Astra Modeller as a reference instead.
- 3Check the layout against the originalBoth routes reconstruct the layout; neither measures it. Compare room by room against the drawing before anything goes to a client, and treat every dimension as a concept figure.
- 4Take it onwardFrom geometry you can export a validated GLB, publish a free read-only share link with the 2D plan and room schedule, or render the current view photoreally for 4 credits ($0.35).

Questions people actually ask
Can I convert a PDF floor plan to a 3D model?
Yes. Page 1 of the PDF is rasterised in your browser at up to 2048 pixels and the image is what gets processed. Multi-page sets need the page you care about exported or the PDF split first.
Will the 3D model match my plan's real dimensions?
No, not reliably. A plan reference produces a concept reconstruction of the layout, not a measured drawing — every room size needs review against the original. If a dimension matters, type it into the brief rather than trusting what was read off the drawing.
What is the difference between the image route and the geometry route?
Plan to Model returns a picture of a 3D view — fast, 4 credits ($0.35), and you cannot edit or export the geometry because there is none. The Astra Modeller returns real parts: walls, door and window openings, glazing, slabs, stairs and a roof, exportable as a validated GLB, for 25 credits ($2.19).
How much does it cost?
A 3D view image is 4 credits ($0.35). A full home concept with editable geometry is 25 credits ($2.19), and a revision is 15 credits ($1.31). New accounts get 14 free credits with no card — enough for the image route straight away; the geometry route needs a top-up, the smallest being $5 for 50 credits.
Can I get a furnished 3D plan?
Yes. Plan to Life styles the plan with furniture and materials in one of fourteen interior aesthetics as an image, and the Astra Modeller can place simple primitive furniture blocks — bed, wardrobe, sofa, dining table, kitchen counter, appliances and sanitary fittings — as separately named parts at no extra cost.
Does it handle two storeys?
The Modeller handles one or two storeys, with a real stairwell void cut in the upper slab and stairs running through it. Footprints are rectangular; complex or curved plans are out of scope for now.
Can I export to SketchUp or Revit?
You can export a validated GLB, which most 3D tools import. The SketchUp Ruby and 3ds Max MAXScript exports are experimental import scripts rather than native .skp or .max files, and native application compatibility still needs testing. There is no Revit export.
