    Does the AI "understand" the 3d geometry of the VW model at all or is it simply looking at a 2d image of it and doing its stuff from there?

    When you press that "refresh button" behind the scenes is taking a screenshot of the model, pure pixels, that's part of the process to understand, if you take a screenshot of an obscure blob with no edges, creating something from it requires you to type or explain what it is. So, nope, this thing is not smart enough to know automatically what you have on screen is a: kitchen or a skyscraper or a ketchup bottle, it needs some help. 
    A 2d image is valid, a napkin sketch is valid, a massing model is a start, a detailed 3d model helps.
    I am always on the look out for prompt formulas, I found this recipe that works for architecture, but also applies to other fields.

    I think these last few images look great! When I try the prompt, I get wildly different results

    The images I am posting here are just the few that I felt like I nailed it. Took me more than 20 tries. I found that starting with the creativity slider at 0 sort or matches the lines in the source image (screenshot) but gives no so interesting sketching results, and in many cases adds unwanted heavy lines. Moving the slider to 100% provides super better quality but then it looks nothing like the original model. So, I went down to 60,50,40....but then I thought, since my goal is just to create doodle sketches, no precision is necessary, so raised it up to 60,70 until I got something better.

  3. Hello @Saml12 before I jump on answers, could you please explain your current steps/workflow you are testing for creating a masterplan? Can you also post an image of what you are going after? I am a very visual person, I'd get it better if I see what you are trying to replicate. Thank you

  4. At some point, and this is just an advanced suggestion, it maybe time to include ChatGPT.  Ask for help improving your original prompt, then edit it and paste in your prompt location. Don't forget to start incorporating things your do not want in your scene. Start with a high level of creativity and as you get results, lower it and find the happy medium between quality and precision.

  5. For our dear Landmark users and friends.
    For Landscape scenes. Here is a recommendation.  Help the AI Visualizer to narrow the type of style you are looking for. Not just leave it as watercolors or color pencils, that is a bit too vague because there are gazillions of watercolors styles everywhere and you'll always get random results. Instead, give the AI a hint by typing an artist you know. Then the AI will try to match the hand style of that person.
    Here is a test using a Park file and adding to the prompt an artist, Greg Rutkowski. Look him up and you''ll see the type of illustrations he goes after.
    You have to test and test by sliding that creativity level. The less creative, closer to your model but more restricted on the style. Too much creativity, AI style will be great but it will not resemble your own project. Just keep that in mind.

  6. Hello AI aficionados.
    I have for you a few extra prompts that are extremely simple, and trigger cool sketches for when you are in need to show your project progression.
    I am using a cafe file with lots of chairs, tables and overall everything that makes an interior project look interesting.

    I cannot import from mtexture. I am using Vectorworks Fundamentals 2022 running on PC. Do you know why? Please see attached screenshot! Thanks.

    We are investigating...

  8. My thoughts on why design layer scale not 1:1

    My personal approach to start drafting or modeling in a design layer:
    If the project is residential, then from the beginning I'll prepare my scale to be 1/4"  or 1:50 depending on the units. Why? because I am old school and I like to see that my line weighs match my final target plots (floor plans and sections).  I know, I know, things are different now when it comes to setting up viewports to match my desire output.
    Then again, if the task is a 3d furniture piece or just a simple flower base then, I could switch it to 1:5, just so I can see more detail when I zoom and also no line weighs necessary.
    The big rub for me is the 3dnavigation, I control the speed or sensitivity based on the scale. Moving in 3d in a design layer that is 1:1 (slow) is not the same to a model 1:50 or 1:50 or 1:300 in the case of a large city. Give it a try and you'll see what I mean.

  9. Over the years we have put a lot of effort on our dedicated webinars related to this topic:
    Lights, textures, cameras, renderings styles, all type of settings, resolution, rendering size, use of cloud, and lots of tips and best practices, and sample files.

    There is not one click solution for creating an incredible rendering, there are several variables depending on the desired result. Interiors, exteriors, day, night, etc?
    Please take a look at our growing gallery of webinars, it'll be worth it.
