Synaps Overview

Synaps is an architectural drafting platform that combines 2D CAD, AI floor plan generation and visualization in a single workspace. The company describes it as a replacement for AutoCAD-style tools, built so architects can move from a brief or a sketch to a presentation-ready plan without switching software. It reads DXF, PDF and image files, so drawings exported from Revit, AutoCAD or Archicad can be brought in and edited.

Key features

Floor plan drafting – multilayer walls, precise room shaping and editable, connected windows, doors and stairs
Floor plan tracer – converts photos, scans and hand sketches into editable vector linework
Floor plan generator – creates layouts from text descriptions using the proprietary Vecy-1 model
Live shadows – sun position and time-of-day controls for shaded plans
3D views and camera framing – lock and reuse angles across deliverables
Relight, resurface and restyle – change lighting and materials on visuals while keeping elements linked
Built-in libraries – hatches, materials and blocks for furniture, vegetation and fixtures

Who it's for

Synaps is aimed at architects, interior designers and small to mid-size practices that spend much of their time on plans and presentation drawings. The company reports tens of thousands of users and says several of the world's largest architecture firms are trialing the platform. A free trial is available, with paid plans listed on its pricing page.

How it works

A typical workflow starts with a brief typed into the floor plan generator or an existing drawing brought in through the tracer or DXF import. The architect refines walls, openings and rooms with standard drafting tools, applies hatches and furniture blocks, then switches to shadow, 3D and restyle tools to produce presentation images from the same model. Because elements stay connected, edits to the plan carry through to the visuals.
