0:03As architects and interior designers,
0:04we're constantly moving between ideas,
0:07drawings, and visualizations. And the
0:09faster we can iterate, the stronger our
0:11projects become. The ability to
0:13transform 2D drawings into clear 3D
0:15visuals, test furniture options, or swap
0:18finishes instantly can completely change
0:21our workflow. Whether we're working on a
0:23client presentation, submitting a
0:24tender, or participating in an
0:26architectural competition. In this
0:28tutorial, I'll walk you through five
0:30powerful AI prompts inside Rayon that
0:32will help you design, visualize, and
0:35refine your projects faster than ever
0:37before. From generating aometric
0:39drawings to creating custom CAD blocks,
0:41producing realistic 3D renders, or even
0:44replacing furniture or materials, these
0:47prompts will save you hours and unlock
0:49new creative possibilities. If you want
0:51to follow along and try each of these
0:53prompts for yourself, you can create a
0:54free account on Rayon Design. The link's
0:57below. So, let's jump straight into
0:59prompt one. Whether you need 3D
1:00axonometric views to help your clients
1:02better understand your drawings, or you
1:05prefer working in 2D and 3D in parallel
1:07to develop your design concepts, Rayon
1:10now offers the fastest way to turn your
1:12floor plans and sections into Axo views
1:15with a single click. Architects and
1:17designers typically start with 2D
1:18drawings before investing time in full
1:203D modeling. While 3D is essential for
1:23spatial clarity, it often comes later in
1:26the process once your concepts are a bit
1:28more resolved. But now you don't have to
1:30wait. Rayon is the fastest way to create
1:32perfect architecture drawings. You can
1:34import your DWDs, your PDFs and images.
1:37You can edit or redraw them accurately
1:39from scratch or you can create your own
1:42from a template which is provided. When
1:44you're ready to see your work as an
1:45Exxon view, we can open up the AI chat
1:49tab. We can click plus and we can take a
1:52screenshot directly from the drawings on
1:55our canvas. So I can do this from a
1:57floor plan for example.
1:59So I can create a screenshot of this
2:02floor plan. Then I can use the prompt
2:04create axonometric
2:07view from this floor plan.
2:13[music] Rayon will generate the
2:15axonometric view automatically and when
2:17it's ready we can preview it. So you can
2:19see there it's extruded up the floor
2:21plan and created our axonometric view
2:24which looks perfect. We can then choose
2:26to reuse the image or insert the image.
2:28And there it is directly into our
2:31canvas. Now let's try one using the
2:33elevations. So again I can do add a
2:36screenshot.
2:38Choose a screenshot here which then
2:40lives in our AI panel. Again I can use
2:43the prompt create
2:47aometric view from these elevations.
2:52Press enter.
2:55And here we have an axonometric view. We
2:57can preview that, review it. I can
3:00insert that image. With that inserted,
3:02we can place it on our canvas um into
3:04our client presentation or into our
3:06design workflow. We can continue to
3:08refine the axonometric by prompting AI
3:10to adjust it. So something like the
3:13design, the materials or the FFN. So
3:16let's for example add another screenshot
3:19of our metric and we can say add a
3:24subtle
3:26green color to the trees and remove the
3:33cars from the garage.
3:38So that's obviously looking back at that
3:41axonometric that we've created and then
3:43adjusting it with the AI.
3:46So again, we can preview that. You can
3:48see the colors been added to the trees
3:50and the cars have been removed. So
3:52again, I can insert that image. I could
3:55replace my previous one.
3:59You know, if I wanted to, I can even do
4:01things like um upscale the image using
4:05Rayon's AI tool.
4:10Stay tuned for even more prompts coming
4:12up later in the videos. Architects often
4:14design bespoke furniture or specify
4:16unique projects from different brands,
4:18but accurately representing those items
4:21in floor plans can be timeconuming. So,
4:23we typically drop in generic CAD blocks
4:26and clarify the real project later in
4:28our spec sheets. With Rayon,
4:29representing the actual CAD blocks you
4:31need becomes effortless. Whether it's
4:33generating a CAD block from an image of
4:35a real product or creating a custom
4:37block using just a text prompt, you can
4:39do it in seconds. Okay, so we're going
4:41to open up the AI panel on the left hand
4:43side and we're going to click the
4:45toolbox icon which is down here and
4:48we'll go to generate product. From here,
4:51you can either describe the CAD block
4:53that you want by using a text prompt or
4:55we can upload an image of an item that
4:58we're going to recreate precisely and
5:00Rayon will do the rest. is even going to
5:02generate a complete block family
5:04including the top, the front, and the
5:06side views. So, it's ready to use
5:08seamlessly in plan sections and
5:10elevations. So, for this kitchen scene,
5:13we're going to say um an espresso
5:16machine. Say I want that to sit on the
5:19counter. Rayon will firstly create an
5:21image of an espresso machine and then it
5:24will translate that into a catalog. So,
5:26there we have it. There's the example
5:28image.
5:30So, it's going to remove the background,
5:32bake the 3D object, vectorize the
5:34projections, and then estimate the block
5:36dimensions before it brings it in as a
5:37CAD block.
5:42And there we have it. So, we've got the
5:45um coffee machine, we've got our three
5:47different views. I can import that block
5:50family into my block library, which I'll
5:52do now. Um, and then I'm going to import
5:55the front view here.
6:00There we go. Spot on.
6:04Place that on the worktop. Obviously, I
6:06can do things like change the line
6:08types,
6:10the widths. For example, I could even
6:13add a fill, something like that. Okay,
6:15but what about if I had an image of a
6:17product that I wanted to match? So,
6:19again, I'll go to toolbox. I'll go to
6:21generate product and I can add a file.
6:25So this um stool for example,
6:29it's quite attractive funky terraso
6:31stool. I can add that in and it will do
6:34exactly the same process. So remove the
6:36background, bake the 3D object,
6:37vectorize it, and then estimate the
6:39dimensions.
6:43And there we have it there. So we've got
6:45our top, side, and front views. Um we
6:48can import that directly into our block
6:50library. Um, and I can insert the
6:52elevation as a block straight away.
6:58Once again, I could um adjust the line
7:00weights if I wanted to. So, just go into
7:02the block and change the line weights.
7:06And again, that will be living inside
7:08our block library. So, you can see there
7:11it's named stool. We can find that in
7:14our list here. And we have those
7:16different views. And because we've got
7:18those top, front, and side, they
7:21seamlessly go into our plan section
7:23elevations perfectly. And if you're
7:25wondering to yourself what the block
7:26library is, it's the library of 10,000
7:29blocks that live within Rayon. And these
7:32are a whole host of different elements
7:34from things like furniture. You can have
7:37top, front, and side views of already
7:39built into Rayon. So check it out. In
7:41architecture and design, speed matters.
7:43Whether you're trying to win over a
7:44client, prepare a competition entry, or
7:46pull together a school project, being
7:48able to communicate a clear and
7:50compelling vision quickly can be a
7:52gamecher. That's where Rayon's AI steps
7:55in. It cuts out hours of manual work,
7:57lets you explore more ideas in less
7:59time, and helps you take on more
8:01projects without compromising quality.
8:03Once your floor plans and sections are
8:04ready, you can generate a clean,
8:06realistic 3D render from any viewpoint
8:08directly from the AI panel with just a
8:11single click. Okay. So, in Rayon's AI
8:13panel again on the left hand side, we
8:15can open the toolbox and we can go to
8:18stylize and we're going to choose a
8:20realistic look with our render
8:23selection. So, we'll do stylize render
8:26and then I can add content. So, by
8:28adding a screenshot of this floor plan,
8:30for example,
8:32and that will directly upload it to
8:34Rayon's AI tool.
8:39So you can see there it's it's created
8:42um a realistic model view um of the
8:46floor plan and I can insert directly
8:49that into rayon for example
8:53or I can adapt it. So I could describe
8:56things that will adjust the elements
8:59within the image. So I could say for
9:01example um make the image brighter,
9:11add a wooden background,
9:15um and remove cars from image.
9:23There we go. So we've lightened up the
9:24image. We've added in a different
9:26background um and removed those cars.
9:29And once again, I can insert that into
9:32my drawing or I could upscale it or I
9:35could keep amending it um as I see fit.
9:39And we could do exactly the same thing
9:40as a elevation. So we could select um
9:44this elevation here again. We'll go to
9:45our AI chat. We'll go to the toolbox.
9:48We'll go to stylize render. And then I
9:52will add
9:54a screenshot
9:57here.
10:01And we can preview that
10:03and I can adjust as I see fit. So I
10:06could say um brighten the image
10:12and change the wooden cladding for
10:18black stained timber.
10:25Preview that there. And
10:28I can perfectly insert
10:31into my drawing.
10:34And you'll notice how it keeps all the
10:36geometry exactly the same. Um, which is
10:39spot on.
10:41We even got our two little figures in
10:43there as well. Now, let's move to the
10:45final two prompts, which are focused on
10:47enhancing existing renders and images
10:49for the projects. Once you have a render
10:51you like, the next challenge is testing
10:53different furniture, lighting, and decor
10:55options without starting your
10:57visualization from scratch. Maybe you
10:59want to see how a specific armchair fits
11:01the space or compare pendant lights or
11:03try out a new interior style, all
11:05without rebuilding the scene manually.
11:07And with Rayon, you can update your
11:08render instantly. It's a fast, intuitive
11:11way to experiment, impress clients, and
11:13make confident design decisions. So we
11:15can jump back to one of the projects
11:17that we looked at previously and take
11:19one of the existing renders for example.
11:21So we can upload an image of an asset
11:23that we want to test whether it's an
11:25armchair or a pendant light or any sort
11:27of decorative element and we can go to
11:29the AI panel and we'll upload that
11:33screenshot of our render first. So add
11:36screenshot. I'll take a screenshot of
11:39this render and then I can add a file.
11:42So let's take a stall that we had
11:44earlier and I can say swap the green
11:51sofa for this blue
11:55store.
12:00So we can see that there we can preview
12:02it and I can insert
12:06that into our image. Similarly, I could
12:09do, you know, exactly the same thing
12:12with one of these renders. So, again, I
12:15can do add a screenshot. I can add
12:19a file. So, say it's this pendant light.
12:23So, add this pendant
12:30hanging above
12:32safe.
12:39We can see that there that's been added
12:41in. And again, we can insert
12:46our image. You know, I could even change
12:49that further by adding it again
12:55and say um something like uh change the
13:00style of this room to be
13:06scandi for example.
13:09So we can completely shift the interior
13:11style by using a really simple prompt.
13:18So we can very quickly iterate on what
13:20we're doing, you know, and show the
13:22client a number of options for, you
13:25know, interior styling, for example, and
13:27Rayon updates the scene accordingly.
13:29Now, let's move to the final prompt
13:31where we'll take the renders even
13:33further with custom materials and
13:34finishes. Once your render is in place,
13:36one of the fastest ways to elevate or
13:38refine your design is by testing
13:40different wall finishes, materials, and
13:43textures. Whether you're exploring paint
13:44colors, wallpapers, [music] wood panels,
13:47tiles, or custom patterns, changing
13:49materials manually can be slow and
13:51repetitive. With Rayon, you can swap
13:53materials instantly, making it easy to
13:55compare options, refine concepts, and
13:57present polished variations to your
13:59clients. So now we can upload an image
14:02of a material that we want to apply,
14:04such as a wallpaper pattern or a wood
14:06texture or tile finish. So, we go to the
14:09AI panel and we can upload a screenshot
14:12of the material. So, I've got this
14:15bright patterned wallpaper. Um, we take
14:18a screenshot of the image. So, this is a
14:22render from the [music] template.
14:24And then we can use a prompt like uh
14:27replace the wall material
14:32with this wallpaper.
14:39So in seconds, Ray maps the exact
14:41texture onto the walls, adjusting the
14:43lighting and the perspective to the
14:45same. I can insert that into the image
14:47here. And we can try it again exactly
14:49with the floor. So again, I can
14:54I can add my image. I can add my
14:59material. So it's this green terratzo.
15:03And I can say replace the floor material
15:07with this TAT type.
15:15We have a new floor material. We can
15:17insert that in to the image. It really
15:20is incredibly useful for exploring
15:23interior design options, testing
15:24material pallets, and building mood
15:27boards directly from the render. And
15:29that wraps up the five most powerful AI
15:32prompts. every architect and designer
15:33should be using. With these tools, you
15:36can go from 2D drawings to axonometric
15:38views, build custom CAD blocks, generate
15:40photorealistic renders, and refine
15:42interiors with new furniture, decor, and
15:44materials, all just with a few clicks.
15:47If you've been looking to speed up your
15:49workflow, impress your clients, or
15:50explore more design options in less
15:52time, these prompts are a gamecher. And
15:55the best part, you can try all of them
15:57right now. To test every prompt from
15:59this video, go ahead and create your
16:00free account on Rayon Design using the
