Manual Draw is available on all plans; AI Draw is for Plus and Pro plans only. In Event Design App, both turn a calibrated floor plan (a blueprint or venue drawing) into editable walls with height and thickness. Manual Draw is free: you click along each wall yourself. AI Draw uses credits and detects walls automatically for you to review and repair.
A calibrated floor plan is only a picture. To build against it, you need real walls: editable geometry with height and thickness that your tables and chairs sit inside. There are two ways to get them, and both start from a calibrated plan.
Calibrate first. Neither option works without it. See Import and calibrate a floor plan.
📺 Trace Walls Manually over a Calibrated Floor Plan, Generate Walls from a Calibrated Floor Plan with AI Draw and Review and Repair AI-Detected Walls — three lessons covering everything below.
There are two ways to turn a calibrated plan into walls.
Manual Draw | AI Draw | |
|---|---|---|
Plan | Free on every plan | Available on Plus or Pro, uses credits |
How | You click along each wall | Wall detection runs on the calibrated image |
Best for | Clean, small or simple plans; full control | A large plan where tracing by hand is slow |
File types | Any supported image, including SVG | Raster only — PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF |
Result | Only the walls you draw | A first-pass shell you must review |
If AI Draw fails or gives you a mess, nothing is lost: switch to Manual Draw and trace the important walls.
Manual Draw is free on every plan.
After calibrating, choose Manual Draw. The plan lands on the floor and you are switched to Top view. Frame the whole drawing.
Click Wall draw in the bottom toolbar. The right panel opens on Create Wall and shows Idle.
Click the pen icon (Start creating). The status changes to Drawing.
Click a clear exterior corner for your first point. The next pointer position previews the segment.
Follow the major exterior boundary first: across the top, down the side, along the bottom, back up the other side. Add smaller interior walls afterward.
Click the check icon (Finish drawing), or right-click, to end that run. Start a new run for each separate interior wall.

Angle snapping. As you approach a horizontal or vertical direction, the preview snaps to it. That keeps lines straight, but a snapped line can still end at the wrong corner. Check each endpoint against the drawing.
Close your shell (the closed outer boundary of walls). If a corner is left open, select the short segment and drag its endpoint onto the existing corner. Check it in Top view. When the boundary is continuous, the room floor appears inside the closed shell.
Check in Perspective. Orbit the shell. Walls now have height and thickness. Look for odd directions, disconnected junctions, or a wall that sits on the wrong line of the drawing.
⚠ Only walls become geometry. Tables, chairs, room labels, stage details and door swings in the picture are still flat marks in the image. They are not furniture, openings or stage objects. Add those through their own tools.
AI Draw detects walls from the calibrated image (an automatic trace of your venue drawing).
Calibrate the plan and confirm the two points, the distance and the unit.
Click AI Draw once. AI Draw is greyed out until the calibration is complete.
The button changes to Drawing... and the panel shows AI Draw running. The status moves through Starting AI Draw worker... and then an analysis stage. Controls are disabled while it runs.
Wait. Follow that one request to a result or a final error message. Don't click again.
When it finishes, the detected walls appear directly in the editor as normal wall segments. In the Academy example, a hand-drawn hall produced 38 segments.
⚠ AI Draw uses credits, and the calibration screen does not show a price. Check your plan and credit balance before you start, and use the values your account shows. It is Available on Plus or Pro.
⚠ AI cannot fix a drawing that disagrees with itself. It uses your calibration as the truth. If the sketch's depth is out of proportion with its width, the walls will be too.

Treat the AI Draw result as a first pass. A line on a drawing may be a stair, a label or a door swing rather than a wall. Work in this order.
Top view, reference visible. Compare the outside boundary first, then the main interior dividers.
Delete what should not exist. In the Academy example, the stage front should stay open to the hall, but AI had built a full-height wall along it. Select the segment, confirm it is highlighted, and choose Delete Segment. The count drops from 38 to 37. The stage in the image stays.
Replace a misplaced wall. One divider sat above its drawn line. Delete it, drag the neighboring wall's endpoint to the true corner, then use Start creating to click the corrected corner and the matching exterior intersection, and Finish drawing. The segment count returns to 37.
Align the exterior. Drag endpoints onto the drawn boundary, working left to right across split segments. Moving one point can leave the next segment angled until its endpoint is aligned too.
Keep intended gaps open. Door swings mark openings. Leave those gaps.
Check properties and Perspective. A replacement wall defaults to the same thickness and height as the others (about 7.87 in thick and 110.24 in high in the Academy example). Confirm the junctions and heights.
Save the reviewed shell.
The Segments counter in the Create Wall panel shows how many you have. Use Clear all only if you want to start over, since it removes every wall.

AI Draw is greyed out. Calibration is incomplete: you need two points and a distance above zero.
AI Draw supports PNG, JPG, WEBP, or GIF. The file is an SVG. Re-export it as PNG or JPG, or use Manual Draw.
AI could not find usable wall segments. The drawing is too faint, noisy or low-resolution. Try a cleaner export or trace by hand.
AI Draw prompts me to upgrade (or says it is not on my plan). AI Draw is Available on Plus or Pro; free-plan accounts see an upgrade prompt. Manual Draw is free.
There are walls where there should be openings. Detection treats some lines as walls. Delete those segments and leave the gap.
A wall is on the wrong line, or a corner has a gap. Drag the endpoint onto the right corner, or delete and redraw the segment. Check Top view and Perspective.
My furniture and labels aren't objects. They are part of the image. Only walls are created.
I can't find the pen or check icons. They are in the Create Wall panel, which opens when you click Wall draw.
Manual Draw is free on every plan and creates only the walls you click, with full control, and works with any supported image including SVG. AI Draw is Available on Plus or Pro, uses credits, runs wall detection on raster images (PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF), and produces a first-pass shell you must review.
Yes. AI Draw uses credits and is Available on Plus or Pro, and the calibration screen does not show a price. Check your plan and credit balance before you start. If AI Draw fails or gives you a mess, switch to Manual Draw, which is free on every plan.
Your floor plan is an SVG, and AI Draw accepts raster images only. Re-export the drawing as a PNG or JPG and calibrate it again, or use Manual Draw, which works with SVG files. If you instead see AI could not find usable wall segments, the drawing is too faint, noisy or low-resolution.
No. Only walls become geometry from either method. Tables, chairs, room labels, stage details and door swings in the picture stay flat marks in the image, not furniture, openings or stage objects. Add them through their own tools, and leave gaps in the walls where door swings mark openings.
Drag the wall's endpoint onto the correct corner, or delete the segment and redraw it with Start creating and Finish drawing. Work in Top view with the reference visible, outside boundary first. Deleting an unwanted segment drops the Segments count, for example from 38 to 37, while the stage in the image stays.
Calibrate the plan and choose Manual Draw, then click Wall draw in the bottom toolbar and the pen icon (Start creating). Click the exterior corners, then the check icon (Finish drawing) or right-click. Close any open corner by dragging its endpoint onto the existing corner; the floor appears when the boundary is continuous.
