What is Drafted?
Drafted generates AI house floor plans from a room list and lot shape, then adds 3D models, exterior renders and furnished views. Projects can be shared with family or builders, and designs export to PDF, AutoCAD DXF, IFC and Revit.
Drafted is a web-based home design tool that turns a short list of requirements into floor plans. A user picks the rooms they want (bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen, dining and so on), sets a house shape and target size on a lot, and the system produces five candidate layouts with room dimensions. Each design pairs a schematic plan with a furnished view, and a 3D model and exterior renders can be generated with chosen materials, colors and architectural style. The audience is mostly people planning a house who want to explore ideas before paying for professional drawings, along with builders, architects and anyone managing client projects. A linked use-case guide on the site covers preparing for a meeting with an architect, which reflects that positioning: Drafted is framed as a way to arrive with concrete layouts rather than a blank page. In practice the workflow runs in five stages: define rooms and footprint, generate and compare options in 2D and 3D, edit the chosen layout, furnish and render it, then export. Editing covers walls, doors, windows and openings, and specific areas of a plan can be selected and regenerated to try different arrangements. Exports include PDF, AutoCAD DXF and IFC files, and floor plans can also be generated directly inside Revit, which makes the output usable in professional design software. Collaboration and organization are built in. Projects can be shared with a spouse, family, builder or architect, who can review the same options and see changes as they happen. A single account can hold several projects, whether a personal home or a set of client jobs, each keeping its own room list, plans and saved designs. Among alternatives, Drafted sits between general interior-design visualizers and full CAD or BIM suites. It generates layouts from scratch rather than asking the user to draw them, yet still hands off to standard architectural file formats. The homepage cites more than 160,000 users and over 11 million plans generated, and coverage from outlets such as TechCrunch and Business Insider.
