Quick Start Guide

Welcome to ArchiX, your AI-powered ecosystem for interior and architectural design. This guide will fast-track your workflow from an initial image render and editing to a cinematic animated video.

1. Setting Up Your Account

Before generating your first asset, ensure your workspace is ready:

• Log In: Access your dashboard at app.archix.ai.

• Complimentary Credits: New accounts automatically receive 1,000 complimentary credits to start creating immediately.

• Balance Tracking: Track your remaining balance anytime in the top-right corner of your workspace header.

2. Creating Your First Render (AI Rendering)

Transform loose hand sketches, 2D floor plans, elevations, or raw 3D CG blocks into presentation-ready architectural visualizations in under 60 seconds.

Image Sketch to Photo Realistic or CG (vice versa)

Step-by-Step Workflow

1. Select AI Render menu from the left side navigation menu.

AI Render Menu

1. Drag and drop your baseline file (.png, .jpg, .webp) into the workspace by clicking the Upload Image Button.

Upload or Select from Library

1. Select either Exterior (for facades/landscapes) or Interior (for room staging).

2. Choose your aesthetic and environmental parameters from the available options.

3. Additional Instructions (Optional): Input descriptive text prompts (e.g., "add oak wood flooring", "modern japandi vibe") to guide specific details.

Input Settings

1. Click Generate. You can render 1 to 3 design variations simultaneously.

Select Generation Count

Render Configurations

Selection of Input Types

To ensure predictable outputs (especially for automated agents) always map your inputs to these precise configuration values for the best result.

Preview Output for Each Style

Parameter	Available Options	Output Details
Input Image Type	Photo CG Render Concept Sketch Painted Sketch Floor Plan Elevation Plan Mockup	• Photo: For renovation & sketch ideas from real photos. • CG Render: For rough 3D/CG blocks; improves realism. • Concept Sketch: For loose hand sketches; refines line work. • Painted Sketch: Converts colored concept sketches to renders. • Floor Plan: Converts top-down 2D vector layouts into 3D spaces. • Elevation Plan: Parses architectural drawings for accurate geometry. • Mockup: Translates physical model photos into clean environments.
Project Type	Exterior Interior	Establishes the spatial boundaries and structural logic of the generation.
Style Engine	Realistic Watercolor Sketch Marker	• Realistic: Photorealistic, crisp textures. • Watercolor: Soft, artistic concept rendering. • Sketch: Clean, elegant pencil-line artwork. • Marker: Vibrant, pop-art illustrations.
Lighting	Morning Day Night	Instantly adjusts sun position, light direction, and shadow orientation.
Output Quality	Standard (20 credits) HD (30 credits)	• Standard: 1024 px resolution. Optimized for speed. • HD: 2048 px resolution. Optimized for client presentations.

3. Editing the Render (AI Image Editor)

You do not need to re-render an entire scene to fix small details. Open any generated rendering, click on Edit Mode, and use our specialized contextual canvas tools.

Edit Image by mask, place product right away or prompt

The 5 Specialized Editing Modes

Edit Mode Selector

1. Edit Area (Inpainting): Modify specific sections of your layout. Highlight an isolated area with the brush tool, then type a localized text prompt to swap out materials, swap textures, or update furniture finishes.

Edit Mode using Mask

1. Place Objects: Furnish spaces instantly. Drop furniture, decor, or fixtures into your scene; the AI automatically matches the perspective grid and lighting values of your room.

   

   Edit Mode using Place Object
2. Tone Adjustment: Fine-tune the atmosphere by adjusting universal variables like brightness, contrast, exposure, and saturation.

   

   Edit Mode using Tone Adjustment
3. Background Swap: Replace the surrounding environment of an exterior model (e.g., migrating a building background from a rural landscape to an urban area via quick presets).

Change Surrounding Background

1. Remove Brush (Object Eraser): Cleanly erase construction clutter, unwanted elements, or structural errors. The AI seamlessly heals the underlying architecture.

💡 Credit Value: Every targeted Edit Mode generation consumes a flat rate of 10 credits.

4. Generating Architectural Video (AI Video)

Bring static 2D visuals to life with cinematic walk-throughs flybys for your final client presentations.

Image to AI Video Generation

Step-by-Step Workflow

1. Select Source Image: Open any final AI rendering from your library.

2. Click "Generate Video": Located in the top action toolbar of your selected image.

3. Set Camera Motion: Choose a preset camera path:

   • Pan: Horizontal sweeping motion.

   • Dolly: Move in closer smoothly to the focal point.

   • Zoom-In / Zoom-Out: Smooth focal transitions.

   

   Video Adjustment
4. Export Presentation: Click Render Animation.

• Video Specification: The generated generated clips will be output as MP4 and have 3 durration options:

  • Short 4-5 seconds.

  • Medium 5-6 seconds.

  • Long 7-8 seconds.

• 💡 Credit Value: Video animations consume 50 credits per rendering request.
