AI Generate (Presentation)
Restyle the view you have framed, inspect the layout-check result, and save an image after checking it against your design.
AI Presentation is the default tool when you open Presentation mode on an account with access. It redraws the framed view in a selected style, such as Photorealistic, Watercolor or Sketch. The intended result retains the design layout, but generated images can differ from the model. The app reports its automatic layout-check result and offers correction actions where available. Inspect the image before presenting it. Each generation spends account credits as shown before confirmation.
AI Presentation is available only on plans that include it. If your plan does not, the Regenerate and Refine buttons do not appear on the canvas. Each render spends credits from your account balance. The Generate dialog shows the cost and your remaining balance before you start.
Open AI Presentation
Switch to Presentation mode. The AI Presentation tool (the Sparkles icon in the left tool rail) is selected when you enter, so the right-side panel and the canvas buttons are already in place. If you have switched to another presentation tool, click the Sparkles icon to return.
Choose a style on the Style tab
The right-side panel opens on the Style tab. Click a swatch to pick how the image is drawn:
- Photorealistic: lifelike photo render
- Watercolor: bold painted washes
- Marker: studio marker rendering
- Sketch: hand-drawn line art
- Masterplan: bird's-eye site overview
- Technical: construction line drawing
- Custom: you describe the look in the prompt
- Concept: loose concept art
The selected style guides how the image is drawn; inspect the result for changes to design details. Season, light and weather are set in their own tabs.
Configure the output in the Generate dialog
After choosing a style, open Regenerate or Refine. In Generate AI image, choose Shape and Resolution (Auto, 1K, 2K or 4K). You can add up to three Reference images and mark their purpose as Style, Material or Mood. References guide appearance; they do not guarantee layout preservation. Check the cost for the selected output before confirming.
Set the scene with Light, Weather and Season
The Light, Weather and Season tabs are the same environment controls used by the photorealistic mode, and the Control tab holds the same scene-content toggles. By default the render follows these tabs, so a golden-hour autumn view produces a golden-hour autumn image.
Click Regenerate (or Refine)
Two buttons sit in the bottom-right of the canvas. Regenerate renders a new image from your 3D model. Refine changes the image you are already looking at and is available only after you have generated one. Either button opens the Generate AI image dialog, whose banner states what will happen. Nothing is generated until you confirm.
Add an optional prompt and choose the environment source
The Prompt box is optional. Use it to describe what to change or add, such as light, weather, mood or people. The drawing style still comes from the Style tab. Leave it blank to render your design as it is. If your prompt names a different style or a different season, time of day or weather than your tabs, the dialog warns you. Under Environment, keep Use sidebar settings to take season, light and weather from the tabs, or choose Follow my prompt to describe those conditions yourself.
Pick a quality and check the cost
Under Quality, choose Standard or Best. With Standard selected, Generate 2 draft options requests two paid candidates and keeps the closest measured layout match. Review the total cost and Credits remaining before confirming. The dialog explains when generation is unavailable, including insufficient balance, a running generation or scene preparation. Use Buy more credits only if the available purchase options suit your account.
Generate and wait for the layout check
Click Generate AI image to confirm. Follow preparation and generation progress; use Cancel generation to stop a running request. The app then attempts a layout check. Where the render’s remaining work budget permits, a failed check can trigger one automatic corrective attempt at no extra credit charge. Read the final result rather than assuming every generation was checked or corrected successfully.
Read the layout result
The result banner distinguishes Layout verified, Layout differs from your design and Layout not checked. Verified means the automated check passed its rules; minor differences may still be reported. Differences can be outlined and Fix these areas offered when available. Not checked means comparison was unavailable or its budget was exhausted. These are automated assessments, not a guarantee of exact geometry, plant detail or photographic accuracy. Compare the image with the design before use.
Fix, compare, save or download
Fix these areas is free while the render still has free fixes left. A fixed image replaces the previous one only if it is closer to your design. Otherwise the previous image is kept and you are told so. When the free fixes are used up, the app suggests Regenerate instead. Regenerate in the result panel starts a new render straight away with the same settings, and it is charged like any other render. Click the image to enlarge it. Use Compare with 3D view to slide between the 3D view and the generated image, and Save to Document Centre to add it to your project deliverables. You can also download or copy the image. Earlier renders of this drawing appear in the Recent strip; click a thumbnail to bring one back.
Iterate cheaply, then finalize. Use Standard at Auto or 1K while you tune the style, light and season, then render once with Best and a higher resolution for the image you will hand to the client.
The layout check compares objects, their positions and their counts with your design. It reports objects that were added, removed or moved and plants whose number differs. Plant canopy shapes may be drawn more naturally than the 3D model and are allowed to differ; where each plant stands and how many there are is what gets checked. The check is automatic and can miss things, so treat an AI render as a visual impression, not a measured drawing. As the panel notes: AI-generated visualization from the model view. Verify against the planting schedule and drawings before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions
I can't find the Regenerate button. Where is it?
AI Presentation is available only on plans that include it. If your plan includes it, switch to Presentation mode and select the AI Presentation tool (the Sparkles icon) in the left tool rail. Regenerate and Refine appear in the bottom-right of the canvas.
How much does each render cost?
Each render spends credits from your account balance. The amount depends on the quality and resolution you choose, and on whether you ask for two draft options. The Generate dialog shows the cost and your remaining balance before you confirm. The automatic second attempt after a failed layout check does not cost you extra, and neither do fixes while the render has free fixes left.
What does "Layout differs from your design" mean?
The automatic check found objects in the image that were added, removed, moved or miscounted compared with your design. The app has already made one free extra attempt where it could and shows you the better result. Differences can be outlined where comparison data is available. Use Fix these areas when offered, or Regenerate for a new paid image.
Why does my render say "Layout not checked"?
The layout check could not run for this image, or the free checks for this render were used up. The image is shown, but it has not been compared with your design. Look it over yourself before presenting it, or regenerate.
Why do the trees look slightly different from my 3D model?
Generated foliage can differ from the model’s appearance. The layout check attempts to assess plant positions and counts, but it cannot guarantee that every plant detail is correct. Compare the result with the design and correct or regenerate an unsuitable image.
Does the season, light and weather I set actually change the image?
Yes, as long as Environment is set to Use sidebar settings (the default). Choose Follow my prompt only if you want to describe the conditions in the prompt instead.
Do my past renders stay in the Recent strip?
Yes. The Recent strip shows renders made for this drawing, including those from earlier sessions. Click a thumbnail to bring one back. Compare with 3D view is available only for renders whose 3D view is still held, such as those made in the current session.
