Convert a PDF floor plan to 3D

A PDF is a useful starting point when the original editable drawing is missing. Build3D Floorplans analyses supported drawing geometry so you can review the layout, edit it and open an interactive 3D view.

Prepare your drawing

Use the original vector PDF when available. Crop irrelevant cover sheets and keep labels legible. Select only the pages you need: a two-page conversion costs two credits if both pages succeed. Scanned pages depend on image quality and may need more manual correction.

A practical example

Imagine a two-page office drawing: a ground floor and a first floor. Select the ground floor first, confirm its one-credit cost, then review the detected spaces. Check a known 20 m outer width instead of accepting an arbitrary canvas size. Add the second floor when the first is correct.

Example input: a 20 by 12 metre layout with four spaces around a central aisle
Illustrative input, not a guaranteed conversion result. Use the known 20 m width to check scale; inspect every detected space before saving.

Review before publishing

Compare the result with the PDF. Confirm the overall width and depth, space boundaries, openings and labels. Correct missing or merged areas and inspect the private 3D preview before publishing. Changing an existing layout does not spend another import credit.

What to expect

A PDF drawing is not a ready-made 3D model. Perspective illustrations, dense hatch patterns, faint scans and overlapping annotations can confuse detection. The converter does not infer reliable structural heights from every drawing; set appearance and height in the editor.

Common questions

Can I convert a multipage PDF?

Yes. Select the pages to convert and review the cost before confirming. Successfully converted pages consume credits; failed units release their reserved credits. A deliberately requested new conversion is a new import.

Automatic drawing analysis, with you in control

Build3D Floorplans uses drawing analysis and OCR, not a trained generative AI model. It reconstructs supported geometry for you to review. It does not certify measurements or replace a construction survey.

Your floorplan stays private until you explicitly publish it. A public 3D viewer sends geometry to the visitor's browser; no web viewer can prevent screenshots or guarantee copy protection.
