Capture View
Takes a snapshot of your current 3D viewport and stores it in the gallery. The capture is what the AI uses as its base image. Re-capture any time you change the view or model.
Style Settings
- Drawing Type: render, sketch, 3D print, floor plan, section, elevation, detail
- Style: photorealistic, watercolor, pencil, diagrammatic, clay, exploded axonometric
- Time: morning, midday, golden hour, sunset, night
- Season: spring, summer, autumn, winter
- Sky: clear, overcast, stormy, night sky with Milky Way
- Materials: hints you can pass to guide the render
Compare
Side-by-side or slider comparison between the original captured view and the AI-generated result. Useful for spotting elements the AI invented or lost.
Sketch
A full annotation canvas with pen, text, shapes, eraser, stamps, and layers. Draw over a view to guide the next generation, or start from scratch using geometric shapes to rough out a concept before letting the AI visualize it.
Place on Layout (Archicad)
One click drops the selected generated image into an Archicad Layout as a drawing or image object. No need to save externally and re-import.
Credits and resolution
Generations consume credits, and the exact cost depends on the look and quality you choose: it's shown in-app before you generate. Starter renders up to 1K, Pro up to 2K, and Ultra up to 4K. Unused credits roll over depending on your tier: none on Starter, 1 month on Pro, and 3 months on Ultra.
Data and privacy
Your generations, images, videos, the source image, and prompt, are saved to your private gallery in Google Cloud, tied to your account, so you can revisit and download them. You can delete any item, or export or delete everything, anytime; if you cancel, your gallery is kept 90 days (with reminders), then deleted. Architools does not train AI on your content; per Google's API terms your inputs and outputs are not used to train Google's models, and other AI providers we use (specialist models hosted on fal.ai) are governed by their own terms.
2-Point Perspective correction
In 3D Viz mode, toggle 2-Point Perspective to straighten all vertical lines: the AI simulates a tilt-shift lens so walls, columns, and window frames stay perfectly plumb, removing the keystoning you get from a tilted camera. Available in 3D views only: it's disabled for orthogonal plans, sections, and elevations.
In-app Help and auto-save
A built-in Help palette documents every control, and Settings lets you choose an auto-save folder so each generated image is written to disk automatically (default: Documents\archiVisora).
Open from any window
Launch the archiVisora palette from any Archicad context: 3D, floor plans, sections, elevations, details, worksheets, and layouts.
