0:02In this video, I'm going to show you the
0:04fastest way to turn a simple 2D floor
0:07plan into a clean AI generated 3D
0:10axonometric view. We'll explore multiple
0:13architectural and interior options from
0:15exterior facade axos to interior section
0:18AXOs, trying out different material
0:20finishes, bringing real products
0:22directly into our renders, and
0:24assembling everything into a polished
0:26client ready presentation package. I'll
0:28be using Rayon Design, a fast, modern,
0:30and intuitive browserbased CAD tool. You
0:33can create a free account to follow
0:34along in real time, or you can come back
0:37to this workflow and apply it to your
0:39own projects whenever you're ready.
0:40Let's dive in. You can import and edit
0:42any document type in Rayon from DWG,
0:45PDF, and images. Then completely edit
0:48and redesign them. Now, let's refine and
0:50redesign this file. We can use Rayon's
0:53stylizing panel and block library. It
0:55makes this process super streamlined.
0:58You can take your drawings from concept
0:59to construction set all in one place
1:02with Rayon as I did here. But now the
1:04real magic happens. Let's take this
1:06document set to the next level with our
1:083D axonometric views. Rayon's AI panel
1:12will help you design, visualize, and
1:14refine your projects faster than ever
1:15before. From generating aometric
1:18drawings to creating custom CAD blocks,
1:20producing realistic 3D renders, and even
1:23replacing furniture or materials, you
1:25can try endless prompts that will save
1:27you hours and unlock new creative
1:29possibilities. Okay, let's have a look
1:31at the elevation. So, we can use the AI
1:35panel which is on the left hand side
1:36here. So, where it says AI chat. So,
1:38we're going to open up the panel and
1:39what I want to do is go to the toolbox
1:42and say generate image. So this is a
1:44sort of primer for the AI to understand
1:47what you want it to do. So we'll go to a
1:49screenshot and I'll do a screenshot of
1:51my front elevation and I'll say create a
1:563D hexonometric
1:59view. There we have it. So I can preview
2:03that. You can see here it's created a 3D
2:06view of our building of our elevation
2:09and I could insert that image directly
2:11into my canvas. So you have that there.
2:14So that obviously gives the client or
2:16another team member a much better
2:18understanding um how the building might
2:20look in three dimensions. The other
2:22thing we can do
2:24is right click on that and say reference
2:26in chat. So then that references that
2:28image back into there and we could add a
2:31style to that image. So at the moment
2:32it's just taking that 2D line quality,
2:35but I can go down to stylize and I could
2:37give it a realistic look and feel. So
2:39have a sort of render style. Let's try
2:41that.
2:43There you have it. So, we have a
2:45realistic render start to that. Now, I
2:47could adjust that image for example. So,
2:49I could change the lighting, make it a
2:51daytime image rather than nighttime
2:52image. Let's try that. Go to more
2:55actions. We'll say reuse. So, this then
2:58puts it back into the chat. We'll say
3:01make this a daytime
3:04image.
3:07Perfect. Now, I could bring that into my
3:11canvas. You can see it keeps the
3:13geometry perfectly um aligned with the
3:16original drawing. And I could say maybe
3:18instead of timber I want that to be
3:20brick work. So we could say again I
3:22could right click on that image. I could
3:24say reference in chat and then I could
3:26say change timber cladding for red
3:31brick.
3:35So again I can insert the image. So we
3:37could start doing some option studies.
3:39So different materials for example you
3:42can see very very quickly you have a
3:44different type of image you know you've
3:46gone from that 2D elevation to a 3D
3:49understanding of it and then realistic
3:52material options. So we can do exactly
3:54the same thing with our internal view.
3:56So we'll jump over to this section view.
3:58So this is a um internal section of an
4:01apartment for example. So we've got a
4:02living space, a kitchen space um and a
4:04dining space. And I can jump over to my
4:06AI chat. So again on the left hand side
4:09if we do new thread that creates a clear
4:11sort of space go to toolbox I'll say
4:14generate image I can add a screenshot
4:17and I'll take a screenshot of my section
4:20and I'll say create a 3D
4:24exometric
4:26this section
4:29press enter
4:34so you can see here it's made an
4:36assumption it's extruded ed out that
4:38that view and created a 3D looking axo.
4:42So again, I can easily insert that in. I
4:45can take a better look. Yeah, I think
4:48that's a pretty good representation of
4:49our our section there. So exactly the
4:52same thing. So I can right click on this
4:54and I can say reference in chat. And
4:56again, we'll try this with a realistic
5:00render style. And obviously with that,
5:03the um the software is having to make a
5:05lot of assumptions. So, it's having to
5:07take this, you know, grayscale drawing
5:09and, you know, make an assessment of
5:10what materials it sees fit. The really
5:12great thing is that we can then take
5:14that forward and adjust those materials
5:16as we want.
5:18So, we have here. Yeah. Amazing. So,
5:21again, we could say brighten
5:26the image for example.
5:29We can insert that into our canvas. And
5:32again, we can start thinking about
5:33different materials. uh reference in the
5:35chat and I could say make the kitchen
5:40slashback
5:42a green
5:44tile for example.
5:50Yep, looks good. Um, and then maybe
5:55make the kitchen cabinets
5:58dark stain
6:02timber.
6:06So, I can insert that. You can see it
6:09keeps the geometry um all the same,
6:13which is exactly what you want. And just
6:16adjust the materials. Another really
6:17cool thing I can do is um search for uh
6:22patterned wallpaper
6:25um plants for example.
6:29Let's go with something jazzy.
6:32So I could copy that image, paste it
6:35into So I could reuse this image. Then I
6:39could take a screenshot
6:42of this
6:44and I could say add this
6:48green wallpaper to the living room.
6:55So there it should be referencing one
6:57image and placing it into another.
7:04Wow.
7:07I mean that's quite full on but you get
7:09my point. Similarly we could swap out
7:12the furniture. So maybe I'll find a
7:16sofa for example.
7:28Okay
7:30this one. So again
7:33I could copy that image. Paste that in.
7:37Maybe I'll do it with the one without
7:39the funky wallpaper. Um, so reference
7:43that image. Add in the screenshot of the
7:47sofa.
7:49And I can say swap the sofa for this
7:54orange
7:55sofa. Or maybe swap the sofa in the AXO
8:03for this orange sofa. Let's see what
8:05happens.
8:09There we go. Nice orange sofa.
8:16We can also do a similar thing with
8:18another piece of furniture like the
8:19dining table for example. So again I
8:21could find
8:23um
8:25contemporary
8:27metal dining table for example.
8:36I could copy that in
8:41and I'll go to my AI panel. I can
8:43reference this image in the chat. I can
8:46reference the table as well. And I can
8:49say replace the wooden dining table with
8:54this orange
8:59table.
9:12Okay, so we got a nice orange sofa and a
9:15nice orange table. The other really good
9:18thing we can do is to transpose those
9:21into 2D. So, for example, I could take
9:24my two new pieces of furniture
9:27and I could say I'll create a new thread
9:31and I'll reference this in the chat. I
9:34can go down to toolbox and I can say
9:36generate product
9:39and we can go and press send.
9:43So, this will now be reading that image.
9:46It removes the background. it generates
9:48a representation of that image and then
9:51it draws the top side um and front views
9:54of the block and creates a CAD block out
9:56of it. Now you can see how fluid the AI
10:00processes, you know, when you're testing
10:02ideas. Um but obviously if you're
10:04putting in bespoke furniture, being able
10:06to transpose those into 2D very quickly
10:08and update your technical drawings is a
10:10real um timesaver.
10:15So there we go. generated a 2D CAD
10:18vector block the image and it's
10:20estimated the sizes and I can insert
10:22that
10:25into here.
10:28There we go.
10:32And I can easily just replace
10:36that with this sofa. Obviously in this
10:38block family for example you know I
10:41could start adding a fill for example. I
10:45can even add a nice orange color if I
10:48wanted to.
10:51There we go.
10:55I can do exactly the same thing with the
10:57dining table. So, let's run the process
11:00again. So, we go to toolbox, we go to
11:03generate product. So, then it
11:05understands the process that's already
11:07built in. I'll reference that in the
11:10chat. So, it's now looking back at that
11:12dining table. and I'll go to generate.
11:19So exactly the same thing. I can insert
11:21that
11:22in here. You can see there it's
11:24understood the sort of scale of the
11:26table. Let's say we hide that one. I can
11:30change the line weights in here. For
11:32example, make it a bit stronger. Add a
11:36fill in here. We can add in a color.
11:39Again, a nice tasteful orange.
11:48And exactly the same thing, I could
11:49bring in the floor plan as well. And
11:52again, if you're bringing in your own
11:54furniture, um, we could also add
11:56something like a leader which describes
11:58what it is. So I could copy the name
12:02from here. Copy that in. I can even set
12:05it as a hyperlink. So I could set the
12:09URL for example in the hyperlink
12:12location
12:14and then when you go to click on that it
12:16takes you to the actual piece of
12:18furniture. I think that's pretty uh
12:20helpful. Perfect. Okay. Now with these
12:22ideas illustrated so clearly thanks to
12:24the AI panel let's put them together
12:26into our document set. Okay. So we have
12:29this document set as part of our overall
12:31presentation and we can start bringing
12:33in those AI generated images into the
12:35drawing set. Um so this is our paper
12:38canvas. I can add some new views um back
12:41to our plan or section in our building.
12:44So you can see here just by creating
12:46that view I can see back to my canvas.
12:48So I could add in my elevation onto here
12:52for example. We can set our scale.
12:57Maybe we'll call that one 200.
13:00So we can have that on one side. And
13:03then maybe we've got our axonometric
13:05view on the other side. I could scale
13:07that up.
13:10I can crop that. That looks pretty
13:13helpful. So you have an understanding of
13:14the um overall building. I could even
13:18take that view and you know, maybe I use
13:20one of these as my front cover image. I
13:24can align that nicely. Maybe we could
13:27even show these material studies as
13:30little vignettes that go alongside that
13:33we're able to explore different ideas
13:36very quickly and communicate them pretty
13:39seamlessly. And similarly, I can do the
13:41same thing with the internal views. So
13:43again, I'll go to new view.
13:46I go to section this time and you can
13:49see those sections that we created.
13:53I can change my view boundary and I can
13:57change the scale. So maybe we'll say
13:59these are 1 to 50. You can see those
14:02annotation leaders that I showed you
14:04earlier. I'll change the crop boundary
14:06on this. And then I can duplicate my
14:09view and then I can start having a look
14:10at some of these aometric views. Let's
14:14go for our latest one with our orange
14:17sofa and table. So we could have this
14:20view down here for example. And then I
14:23can even, you know, start grabbing some
14:26of these elements as well. You can start
14:29building up a a pallet of different
14:32furniture. And the really helpful thing,
14:34this is all in one browser. So I'm doing
14:36all my AI, all my drawing and all my
14:39presenting all in one tool. Exactly the
14:41same thing with the mood board for
14:43example. So, you know, I can take my
14:46views from earlier where I've
14:48referenced, you know, things like this
14:51very funky wallpaper and I can even
14:53reference these pieces of furniture with
14:57it as well. I think that sits pretty
14:59well as an overall presentation. And so
15:00we've got our intro, a description of
15:03the different plans, the apartments, the
15:05overall look and feel, some different
15:06details, and then you've got these very
15:09clear um and hopefully really helpful
15:12visuals um and 3D axonometrics. Now,
15:16with the pages complete, we can easily
15:18share our finished document with our
15:19teammates or publish a presentation
15:22ready to be viewed by our clients. Okay,
15:24so we can share that presentation. So
15:26you'll see over in the right hand side
15:27there's a share button. So we'll start
15:30with access to a teammate for example.
15:33So I can provide access to a teammate
15:37using their email
15:39and I can set them as either a editor,
15:42an admin or a viewer. So obviously if
15:45they're a viewer they can have a look at
15:46the presentation but they can't edit it.
15:48Um editor obviously means they can. So
15:50I'm going to set it to viewer and I'm
15:52going to invite. So now looking as um my
15:55different identities. So you know I've
15:56invited myself into this. I can look at
15:58the models that have been shared with me
16:00and I can see that apartment scheme
16:02here. So you can see here now I can view
16:05all the drawings or the presentation
16:06that were shared with me and I can do a
16:07couple of things with that. So I could
16:10measure. So I can use this measure tool
16:13to check any measurements. I can check
16:16areas for example.
16:19Yeah. So that will calculate an area.
16:21But I can also add comments and
16:23annotations. So I can add a comment for
16:25example and I could say something like
16:28uh can we do one more material study for
16:34the facade
16:37um
16:39white render
16:41with dark reveals
16:44and I can post that and then that will
16:47come up in the designers toolbar.
16:50Similarly, I could annotate. For
16:52example, say here
16:55I could add a comment to that and say,
16:59can we
17:01take the tile all the way up? So then
17:05there's clarity. So I have my comment
17:07and I also have my annotation. And then
17:09jumping back into the original side, I
17:11can then go to the comments tab and I
17:14can see my comments there. So if I click
17:16on the comment, it will show me where it
17:17is, what it is. So you have what it is
17:20in reference to and then we have message
17:22can we do want more material study um
17:24and then I can respond to that and I'll
17:26say sure we do
17:31I can even add an emoji to that if I
17:33wanted to. Similarly
17:36on this one can we take the title all
17:38the way up? Um we looked at that but
17:44this felt like a better option. So once
17:48again, all of your messaging, your back
17:50and forth with your team or your boss um
17:53is all within the same piece of
17:54software. And then finally, once those
17:56elements are resolved, we could share a
17:58presentation. So once again, we'll jump
18:00over to the share button. So rather than
18:02in the access tab, we go over to
18:04presentation and we'll just slide this
18:07little slider. This will give us a link.
18:09With that link, we could send it to our
18:11client for example, so over email um and
18:14they can open it directly in their
18:15browser or I can open it directly in my
18:17browser here. So I'll go to open now.
18:19It'll take a second just to load up.
18:21There we have it. So we have our front
18:22page,
18:24we have our plans, more detail plans,
18:27some detail section and elevations,
18:30our overall plan, lighting layouts.
18:32We've got our material boards which
18:34we've updated with those um images. We
18:38have our elevation, those material
18:40studies from AI, and our 3D axonometric
18:43from AI. And then our detail sections,
18:46our furniture, and that final detail
18:48view that we created very simply with
18:50AI. And the really great thing is if I
18:52go back, if I was to make a change, for
18:56example. So I said, oh, actually, I want
18:58this to be the timber option. All I'd
19:01need to do is go to share again
19:03presentation and I click this little
19:05update button and that will keep that
19:07same link but it'll update the
19:09presentation. So any of the updates I
19:11captured you know that you're going to
19:13be presenting the latest and you're not
19:15needing to provide your client with
19:16another link. All very simple all within
19:19browser. So again I can update I can
19:22open and that presentation has been
19:23updated. Perfect. And that wraps up this
19:26workflow for turning a simple 2D drawing
19:29into a complete AI generated 3D
19:31axonometric view styled material
19:34variations, real product render inserts,
19:36and polished architectural
19:37presentations, all inside Rayon. With
19:40this approach, you can explore design
19:41options faster, communicate ideas more
19:44clearly, and deliver client ready
19:46visuals without leaving your browser. If
19:48you're looking to speed up your process
19:50or elevate the quality of your
19:51presentation, this workflow is a huge
19:53timesaver. To try everything I showed in
