AI Floor Plan to 3D SketchUp ModelBeta

How it works

Plan to Model runs inside SketchUp, through the Taagh AI plugin.

1. 1

   Install the plugin

   Download the plugin, install it from Extensions → Extension Manager, and sign in with your Taagh AI account.

2. 2

   Upload a plan image

   In SketchUp, open Extensions → Taagh AI, choose the Plan to Model tab and upload your plan image.

3. 3

   AI analysis

   The AI reads the plan in about 3–7 minutes. You can close the panel while it works.

4. 4

   Build the model

   Check the preview and the scale, then build the model in SketchUp.

What you get

• Walls, doors and windows at real scale, plus furniture as simple blocks.
• Your SketchUp model units are not changed.
• One Undo removes the whole build.

Plan requirements

• The uploaded 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 plan 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.
• For the best result, convert the AutoCAD PDF export to a PNG or JPG image with a long side of about 4,000 px (at least 2,000 px).

Use cases and limitations

Plan to Model is built to give you a fast starting point, not to replace an engineer’s review. It helps most with:

• Blocking out a building from a plan image, for example an AutoCAD export. Instead of drawing every wall and opening by hand, you get a base model and continue in SketchUp.
• Checking the layout of interior projects. Furniture is placed in the model, which helps you judge placement and circulation space.
• Preparing a scene for rendering. The model opens in SketchUp, so you can render it with the same Taagh AI plugin.

Limitations

• Plan to Model is in beta, and the quality of the result depends on following the Plan requirements above. Always compare the dimensions and details of the model with the original plan.
• The output is a base model. Furniture is simplified and the result is not a finished model.
• The input must be a floor plan image, not a photo of a space.

Frequently asked questions

Which floor plans work with Plan to Model?

A floor plan image: a direct AutoCAD export or a high-quality scan, with one floor per image. Diagrams, angled views, perspectives and isometrics cause errors. See Plan requirements above for details.

What do I get from a plan?

A 3D model built in SketchUp from your plan image, with walls, doors and windows at real scale and furniture placed in the model. It is a base model that you can keep editing in SketchUp.

How long does the analysis take?

About 3–7 minutes. You can close the panel while the AI works.

How much does it cost?

See the Cost section on this page. A failed analysis is not charged.

Does it replace an engineer’s review?

No. Plan to Model is in beta and gives you a base model. Always compare its dimensions with the original plan and have the result reviewed before relying on it.
