AI Shop Drawings

Frequently Asked Questions

What does our site do?

Currently our site allow you to submit a set of architectural drawing and once processing is complete, you will recieve an AutoCAD and PDF file of the cabinetry within those drawings.

Is this just a simple pdf to cad converstion site?

Absolutley not! Our site allows you to customize drawings based on your standards. You tell us what hardware you are using, provide your cad template, etc. You will recieve AutoCAD drawings with plan, elevation and section views.

Are these drawings "Submittal Ready"?

In all honestly, probably not. As we continue to develop the AI model that is used, and we expand the features offered, we are confident we will continue to get closer and closer to being submittal ready. First assessment is that these are 90% + submittal ready drawings. Manual (human) review / verification and tweaking is to be expected.

How much time will this save me?

It is hard to provide exact metrics as they depend on your drawing process. Initial indicators show at least a 75%-80% time savings over traditional drawing processes.

How do I submit a project?

You must be a registered user to submit a project. Once you have registered, a user account complete with a user dashboard will be created for your personal use. From there, simply login and click on the Submit Project link contained in your dashboard. Fill in the required details and upload your drawings. You'll receive a confirmation once submitted.

Where can I update my client standards?

Once logged in, visit your Dashboard and click the "Update Standards" link under the Client Standards section.

Can I make revisions after submission?

Yes, once your project is processed, you’ll be notified and can request changes as needed before final approval. We are also working to be sure that if you have frequest changes, the AI model is "re-trained" to meet your needs.

How do I retrieve my finished drawings?

Once a project is marked "Completed," a download link will appear on your dashboard under the respective project.

How can I suggest new features?

Visit the Feature Requests page to submit your ideas and vote on existing requests. We also allow "voting" on feature requests by our users to make sure we are implementing the most requested features for our community.

How long does it take to process my drawings?

Drawings are processed on a first come first serve basis and are placed in a work queue upon submittal. Wait time will depend on the project qty and size in line before you. With that said, our system can draw approximately 10 cabinets a minute. So a 600 cabinet project can be done in about an hour with complete plans elevations and sections. This is per user session. We can accomodate multiple users at once. Our system is available 24 hours a day.

How much does it cost?

Since we are still in the final stages of development, we have not determined our pricing structure yet. What we can tell you is that you will be paying only for actual processing time. Usage of our 3d Configurator is free, interactions in your client dashboard are free, etc. Only the actual computer processing time is tracked and billed. Time spent waiting in queue is not billed.

What is the plan for the future?

Our current focus is on submittal drawings for the cabinet industry. We have not decided if we want to tackle adding millwork (i.e. nurses stations, reception desks, etc). We will be adding the ability to provide material takeoffs and even an estimating module to our system. Eventually we want to expand the site to include steel drawings as well as glass and glazing drawings. If there is anything else you are interested in seeing, please submit a feature request.
