A SHORT GUIDE TO YOUR WORKSPACE
From an idea
to a clearer plan.
Choose a starter layout, edit it, explore it, then keep the version you like. RoofNurture helps prepare a concept to discuss with your builder or design team.
Decorate and render your concept
Select a room, then choose Decorate & materials, or use Decorate this room inside Walkthrough. Apply the Dark Timber, Modern stone, Coastal oak or Warm minimal shortcut to one room or the current floor. Edit floor, wall and ceiling materials; choose an accent wall, trim color, texture repeat size and roughness. Lower roughness gives a glossier finish. Save finishes to see the result in the live walkthrough. Undo restores earlier choices.
In Decor & art, place and edit rugs, plants, floor lamps and framed concept images. Widths, heights and positions use feet. Board offsets run along the chosen wall; boards must fit a solid wall area clear of doors and windows. Rugs can sit below furniture. Plants and lamps block movement, so review placement and access in Walkthrough.
In Concept images, choose a supplied estate illustration or upload PNG, JPEG or WebP up to 15 MB. Uploads are resized to at most 1,024 pixels on their longest side and stored on this device, with a limit of 20 custom images. Use the image beside the live model, place it as a framed board, or use a cropped sample as a surface texture. The uploaded picture does not automatically reconstruct its architecture or extract materials. Image choices and finishes save in project JSON and cloud revisions; custom image files stay on the device. Download each custom image for backup. On another device, upload it again and reassign it. Clearing site data removes custom images.
Open the decorated estate study for a ready-to-explore interpretation of the supplied Dark Timber palette, with rugs, plants, lamps and concept boards. Original source allocations remain available separately. PNG renders and 360° room panoramas include materials and visible boards. OBJ exports include simplified decor geometry; image textures, material maps and lighting are excluded. The WebGL walkthrough displays textures; its basic graphics fallback only shows room colors.
Start with the right workspace.
My workspace contains your private cloud projects, profile and five reusable starting layouts. ChatGPT manages sign-in. You can explore and edit locally before signing in; private cloud saving, profiles and AI drafting require sign-in.
Shape the plan.
- Select a room from the list or the 2D plan. Edit its name, dimensions, position, height and floor finish in Room properties.
- Open Edit & floor tools to duplicate rooms, align them, move them by a grid step, and add or duplicate floors.
- Turn Room drag on in those tools. Drag a room in 2D to move it on the grid. Drag empty space to pan. Use Undo and Redo to compare changes.
- Add doors and windows to a room wall. Proposed connecting doors work when room boundaries touch. Moving rooms can break a shared-wall connection.
- Add furniture manually or review suggestions. Suggested furniture avoids existing furniture and a small doorway buffer; inspect the result yourself.
Explore what you changed.
Use 3D model for a cutaway overview, then Walkthrough to look and move inside rooms. Choose daylight, warm or neutral lighting. Fast view is the default; Detailed shadows adds room shadows. Natural field of view provides a narrower view than the default wide lens. The model includes floor patterns, baseboards and simple ceiling details.
Save a camera to revisit it against later edits. Download a normal model view or a 2:1, 2048 × 1024 panorama from one camera position. Open the panorama in a compatible panorama viewer. A panorama captures one room position; it does not create a linked tour or photo of an actual property.
Use an upload or AI draft.
Convert PDF reads labeled rectangles from vector drawings, then asks you to confirm their scale. The AI panel can draft a small layout from a brief, propose a selected-room edit, or make approximate rectangles from a plan image. It can miss or invent rooms. Review its preview before applying. The public pilot has five AI attempts shared across the pilot each UTC day, including failed attempts.
Keep your alternatives.
Edits autosave on your current device. Projects creates named private cloud revisions. Compare a revision with the workspace to see room, opening and furniture changes. The dashboard opens the latest saved revision. Download JSON for a portable backup. Uploaded reference images and PDFs must be reattached after reopening; they are not included in cloud revisions.
Bring the concept to someone else.
Project review provides a printable presentation of your current geometry. SVG exports contain the selected floor, while OBJ exports contain its wall surfaces and furniture in feet. Decorative renderer details and light settings are not part of OBJ geometry. The Dark Timber showcase has ready-made downloads of the example study.
