3Dillo for architects

Show the client the house, not just the plan.

3Dillo turns your floor plan into furnished, lit 3D stills and a walkthrough video, read straight from the drawing.

3Dillo is the 3D product from the makers of CADdillo, on 3dillo.ai. Same account, same credits. Opening and exporting DWG/DXF is always free.

The problem

Where client reviews stall

Clients cannot read a plan

They approve a drawing, then meet the room for the first time when it is framed. The surprise lands on you.

Presentation models eat hours

Building, furnishing and lighting a model for one meeting is time nobody bills well.

Every revision resets the visuals

Move a wall and the renders from last week no longer match the set.

How 3Dillo solves it

From your drawing to a walkthrough

  1. 1

    Start from the plan you drew

    A DWG or DXF floor plan. Walls, doors, windows and rooms are read from the drawing itself.

  2. 2

    3Dillo furnishes and lights it

    Each room is furnished and lit, then rendered as photoreal stills and a walkthrough from the front walk through every room.

  3. 3

    Revise, then render again

    Send the changed plan and it is rendered again: a re-render is 100 credits, the same as the first.

Every image on this page is a 3Dillo render of a floor plan. Watch the full 3D house walkthrough.

Answers

3Dillo for architects: questions

Can 3Dillo render a floor plan I drew in my own CAD software?

Yes, from a DWG or DXF file. 3Dillo reads the walls, doors, windows and rooms from the drawing, so the 3D house follows your plan rather than a remodelled copy. To have your own plan rendered: open the studio, sign in free and open your DWG or DXF: it shows in 3D, and Render (100 credits, or included with Premium) makes four photoreal stills of its walls and shell right there. For furnished rooms and a walkthrough video, have Dillo draw the plan and render it. For your own DWG or DXF furnished and walked through, send a note from the contact page: we reply by email, you attach the drawing to that reply, and we deliver the renders.

Do I have to build a 3D model first?

No. 3Dillo does the modelling, furnishing, lighting and rendering from the floor plan. The renderer underneath is 3Dillo's own build of Blender, the open-source 3D suite, and you never have to open it.

What does a client review package from 3Dillo contain?

Photoreal stills of the rooms as PNG images and a walkthrough as an MP4 video that follows a path from the front walk through every room.

Can I put the renders in proposals and client presentations?

You keep the rights to your drawings and to the renders made from them (3Dillo terms of service). Rendered files are kept for 30 days and then deleted, so download what you want to keep.

Are 3Dillo renders construction documents?

No. The renders are visualisations of the drawing, not construction documents, and they are not stamped or checked against a code.

What happens when the design changes after a review?

Send the edited plan to be rendered again. A re-render after an edit costs the same 100 credits as a first render, so every revision can have current visuals.

What does a client walkthrough cost?

On pay as you go, every 3D render is 100 credits, flat: a set of photoreal stills or a walkthrough video, a first render or a re-render after an edit. Credits for a render that fails are given back automatically. Pay-as-you-go credit packs are $10 for 100 credits, $20 for 250, $30 for 500 or $50 for 1,000, with no subscription. 3Dillo Premium is $99 a month, or $950 a year (20% off). Founding offer, limited time: for the first 12 months it includes unlimited AI floor plan drawings and unlimited 3D renders (photoreal stills and walkthrough videos), with AI edits included and the price locked. Unlimited is subject to fair use and available rendering capacity. The founding offer runs 12 months from signup; renewals are at the then-current Premium terms. For teams and firms, Consulting starts at $499 a month (runs on dedicated cloud GPU capacity; priced on seats and usage; scoped with your team by inquiry); a Premium account is for one person and is not shared across a team. Every new account starts with 50 free credits and no card; those are for trying the AI drafter, and a render needs a credit pack or Premium. Full details are on 3dillo.ai/pricing.

How long does a render take before a client meeting?

There is no fixed turnaround: renders run on a shared GPU queue, a set of stills is quicker than a walkthrough, and at busy times both take longer. A walkthrough is well over a thousand rendered frames; the ranch house walkthrough at caddillo.com/3d-house-walkthrough/ is 1,606 frames, 67 seconds at 24 frames a second.

Is my client's drawing kept private?

To render a drawing, 3Dillo builds a scene file from it (walls, rooms, openings and furniture positions) and renders it on its own machines first; when they are busy, the job runs on rented GPU servers at RunPod in their Secure Cloud data centers, and the scene file and output are deleted from that server when the job ends. Scene files and renders are stored for 30 days, then deleted.
