Sell the house before you pour the slab.

Turn each floor plan you build into furnished, lit 3D stills and a walkthrough video that starts at the curb.

The problem

Where a plan book loses buyers

Buyers choose from line drawings

A plan book asks people to imagine a house from a black-and-white plan, and most cannot.

Model homes are expensive

You cannot build a model of every plan, so most plans are sold without one.

Options are hard to show

A larger kitchen or an extra bedroom changes the house, and the brochure still shows the base plan.

How 3Dillo solves it

From your plan library to walkthroughs

  1. 1

    Send each plan

    DWG or DXF floor plans from your library. Walls, doors, windows and rooms come from the drawing.

  2. 2

    Get the house, outside and in

    Furnished, lit stills of the rooms, the porch and the deck, and a walkthrough from the curb through every room.

  3. 3

    Render the options too

    Draw the option into the plan and have that version rendered: 100 credits per render, flat.

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

Answers

3Dillo for builders and construction firms: questions

Can 3Dillo render every plan in my library?

Yes, one plan at a time, from DWG or DXF files. Each render is 100 credits, so a library is priced by the number of renders. 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.

Does the walkthrough show the outside of the house?

Yes. The walkthrough starts at the curb and goes up the front walk and through the front door, and exterior stills such as the front porch and the back deck are rendered from the same plan.

Can buyers see an option, such as an extra bedroom?

Draw the option into the plan and have it rendered as its own version. A re-render after an edit costs 100 credits, the same as the first render.

Can I use the renders in brochures, signs and ads?

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.

Is a 3Dillo render a construction set?

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

What does it cost to render a plan?

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 it take to render a plan from my library?

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.
