CAD Blocks

CAD Blocks turns a product photo into a true-size CAD block for interior designers and architects. Paste the product's link, or add a photo, screenshot or PDF spec sheet. Type the width, depth and height, and get the plan, front and side elevations as one DXF in about 90 seconds. It works in AutoCAD, Revit, SketchUp Pro and Vectorworks. 3 blocks a month are free.

CAD Blocks Overview

Interior designers and architects spend hours drawing furniture they didn't design. Every sofa, chair and lamp on an FF&E schedule has to go into the plans and elevations, and most makers don't publish CAD files.

CAD Blocks draws them for you. Paste a link to the product's page, or add a photo, a screenshot or a PDF spec sheet, and type the width, depth and height. About 90 seconds later you get one DXF holding three named blocks: the plan, the front elevation and the side elevation, drawn true size in millimetres or inches.

It's built with a working interior designer, around how designers really draw:

  • Every view is fitted to the exact size you type
  • Hidden edges are dashed, and blocks sit on layer 0 or on I-FURN layers
  • The maker, model and dimensions travel with the block as attributes
  • Resizing a finished block is free
  • A free library of ready-made furniture blocks

The DXF opens in AutoCAD, Revit, SketchUp Pro, Vectorworks and Chief Architect. 3 blocks a month are free, with no card. Pro is $24 / £19 a month for 40 blocks, and Studio shares 150 blocks a month and one library between up to five people.

AI Architectures Floor Plans

AI Architectures Floor Plans turns a hand-drawn floor plan sketch, a phone photo of an old plan or a scan into a clean, professional 2D floor plan with straight walls, door swings, room labels and dimensions, in about 30 seconds. The layout stays as drawn. Plans download as an image or PDF, and as a DXF file (auto-traced vector linework) for AutoCAD, Revit and SketchUp. It can also generate a concept floor plan from a text description. Made by 20Vision GmbH, Vienna.

Synaps

Synaps is an AI-assisted drafting and design tool for architects, positioned as a browser-based alternative to legacy CAD. Users draw precise floor plans with multilayer walls and connected doors, windows and stairs, trace photos or scans into editable vectors, and generate layouts from text using Vecy-1, the company's own generative model. The same file then produces shaded plans, 3D views and restyled renders for presentations. Synaps is based in Vienna and was founded by Brendon Ahmeti, Kevin Cobaj and Agron Bajraktari.

Floor Plan Creator

Floor Plan Creator is a free online editor for designing home and office floor plans directly in the browser. Users draw walls, place furniture and switch to a 3D view to walk through the space before renovation begins. No download or account is needed - open the editor, sketch the layout and export or share the finished plan in minutes. It runs on desktop and mobile and suits homeowners, interior designers and real estate agents who need clear plans fast.
