Drawing
The drawing
Upload a floorplan or photo. DeepCAD recognizes the structure and dimensions to transform the drawing from 2D to 3D.
Before you begin: the answers you need.
What can I upload?
PDF, PNG and JPG — including photographs of a printed sheet and scans of old drawings. Multi-page PDFs let you choose the sheet to work on. You do not need a DWG, an IFC or any CAD source file.
How does it know the scale?
From the dimensions already printed on the drawing. If the drawing does not carry any, you draw one length you know and everything else follows from it. Until then it will not show you an area — it says it cannot measure yet rather than inventing a number.
How accurate is the detection?
Accurate enough to skip the tracing, not accurate enough to skip the review. You see how sure DeepCAD was about each element, and anything it got wrong takes seconds to fix. The machine does the tedious pass; you do the judgement.
Can I import an IFC?
Yes. Architecture and building services from the IFC land in the same measured space as any other plan: you can quantify, navigate, furnish and ask the assistant about them. You can export the result as IFC, OBJ or STEP.
How does the LiDAR scan work?
You walk the room with the DeepCAD scanner app on an iPhone or iPad with a LiDAR sensor. It captures walls, doors, windows, floors and furniture with their real dimensions and sends them straight into a project. From that moment it behaves like any other plan.
Is this a BIM tool?
Not an authoring tool. BIM starts from a model; DeepCAD starts from whatever you actually have — a drawing, a room, a partial IFC — and produces a measured, navigable space from it.
What comes out at the end?
An IFC, OBJ or STEP file for whatever you work in next, a printable solid checked against what your printer can hold at the scale you pick, and the quantities as data. The plan itself stays in DeepCAD as the source everything is rebuilt from.
Can the assistant change my plan on its own?
It can read the plan, highlight elements, hand you a selection and work out where a wall or an object would go. Geometry it proposes appears as a proposal — it becomes part of the plan when you accept it, and not before.
What happens to my drawings?
They are stored in your project, on Swiss infrastructure, private to you and your organisation. They are never used to train models. A plan becomes publicly readable only if you deliberately publish it, and you can withdraw that at any time.
Which languages does it work in?
The interface and the assistant both work in English, German, French and Italian, and the assistant answers in the language you write in.
