Plan to Model (beta)
From a floor plan image to a SketchUp model
Plan to Model reads a floor plan image with AI and builds it in SketchUp — walls, columns, doors, windows, glazing, floor and furniture. One analysis costs 50 tokens (beta price), including every rebuild of that plan. You are charged only if the analysis succeeds.
Before you start
- The image must be an AutoCAD plan (direct export) or a high-quality scan. Diagrams, angled views or perspectives of the plan, isometrics and similar images cause errors in the analysis.
- We recommend that the drawing shows a few interior dimensions that do not overlap the furniture.
- Remove extra lines and notes, and the title block.
- Convert the AutoCAD PDF export to a PNG or JPG with a long side of about 4000 px (at least 2000 px, at most 8000 px; up to 40 MB).
- One floor per image.
Step by step
- 1
Open the Plan to Model tab
In SketchUp: Extensions → Taagh AI, then the Plan to Model tab.
- 2
Choose the plan image
Press Choose plan image…. Under Options set the ceiling height, door height, window sill and head heights, and whether to add furniture and a ceiling slab.
- 3
Analyse the plan
Press Analyse plan (50 tokens). It takes about 3–7 minutes. You can close the panel or even SketchUp — the analysis continues and shows up again here.
- 4
Review the analysis
Press Open review window. Check the preview (walls, doors, windows, glazing, furniture) and the scale.
- 5
Confirm the scale
If the scale was read from the plan, press Confirm scale — or Reject scale and measure it yourself: click the two ends of a length you know (a dimension line, a wall or a door) and type its real length.
- 6
Build in SketchUp
Press Build in SketchUp. Building is free. The model is one group at the model origin, with Walls, Columns, Glass, Floor and Furniture inside (Ceiling only when chosen). One Edit › Undo removes the whole build; your model units are not changed.
Rebuild and recent plans
- Change options and rebuild — change heights or furniture and build again, free. Tick Replace the previous build of this plan to swap the old build for the new one.
- Recent plans — your recent analyses are listed in the tab, so you can build them again later.
- Doors coming out at an odd width usually means the scale is wrong — use Fix scale.
- If part of the plan has no floor, it did not close into rooms — usually a missing wall or window. Check the preview.
If the analysis fails
When an analysis fails, you are not charged.
| Message | What to do |
|---|---|
| This type of plan isn’t supported yet | The AI could not read this plan reliably. Try a cleaner AutoCAD export with one floor per image. |
| The analysis took too long | It was stopped after 12 minutes. Please try again. |
| Temporarily unavailable | Plan to Model is paused for a short while. Try again later. |
| Not enough tokens | Top up your tokens, then analyse again. A plan that was already read is instant. |
| Daily limit reached | You have reached today’s limit for plan analyses. Try again tomorrow. |
| Can’t reach Taagh | Check your internet connection or VPN, then try again. |
| The build failed | Your model was not changed. Try building again. |
Frequently asked questions
+How much does Plan to Model cost?
One analysis costs 50 tokens (beta price), including every rebuild of that plan. Building in SketchUp is free, and a failed analysis is not charged.
+How long does an analysis take?
About 3–7 minutes. You can close the panel or SketchUp; the analysis continues and resumes in the tab.
+What plan image works best?
A direct AutoCAD export (or a high-quality scan), one floor per image, with the title block and extra notes removed, as PNG or JPG with a long side of about 4000 px.
+Can I undo a build?
Yes. The build is one group, and a single Edit › Undo removes it. Your model units are not changed.
