Translating a hand sketch into a 3D model, suffering through the lag of software interoperability during iterative design phases, and losing hours to material tweaking and lighting setups in the final visualization—these are universal challenges in the AEC industry. But what if you could bypass the heavy lifting of traditional 3D modeling and jump straight into high-fidelity visual ideation directly from your 2D CAD drawings? [Chaos Veras](https://blog.chaos.com/what-is-veras?hsLang=en) is your AI-powered design co-pilot. By leveraging generative AI, Veras allows architects to transform sketches and 2D CAD linework into realistic renderings, enabling rapid style, material, and design exploration. It works as a unified interface offering: - **Start in seconds with architectural presets.** 40+ ready-made presets for architectural design and visualization deliver a professional result from the first click. Users can save their own presets to reuse across projects or share with anyone. - **The best AI models, curated in one place.** Veras brings together image and video models selected for architecture and visualization, so there's no juggling between multiple tools for each model. - **A complete toolset, not just a prompt box.** Draw, select areas, rotate views, remove backgrounds, segment images automatically, and post-process results, all within the same workflow. - **Control without prompt mastery.** Reference images set the style, materials, colors, or objects. Design lock keeps the original geometry and layout intact. Area selection and annotation change only the part of the image the user chooses. Because Veras uses your base image as the substrate, any prompt or preset you apply respects the original geometry of your sketch or CAD drawing. ## **2D floor plan to 3D** You can take a standard 2D residential floor plan and transform it into a photorealistic 3D isometric cutaway.You can even instruct [Veras](https://www.chaos.com/veras) to generate a professional interior design presentation board, combining a wide-angle perspective with detail shots, all in a single image. ## **2D elevation to 3D** Take a flat 2D elevation and use Veras to turn it into a 3D perspective view, complete with soft neutral tones, contemporary materials, and landscaping—all while strictly adhering to your original CAD layout and spatial planning. ## **2D section to 3D** Sections can be difficult to make engaging for clients. With Veras, you can refine a standard 2D section in stages. 1. **Refine the CAD Drawing**: Apply a minimalist contemporary graphic style using a halftone pattern for the sky and soft hatching for materials. 2. **Add Style and Depth**: Use [prompts](https://blog.chaos.com/ai-architecture-prompts?hsLang=en) to transform the flat CAD drawing into a premium editorial illustration with subtle one-point perspective, soft sage greenery, and warm wood textures. ## **AI render to video**   If you want to share a wholesome spatial experience, you can turn any [drawing into a video](https://blog.chaos.com/veras-image-to-video?hsLang=en). I turned this section into a video, showcasing how the spaces will be inhabited on a daily basis. ## **Modifying floor plans via smart selection** Need to test a quick change? You don't have to go back to CAD. Using the [Smart Selection tool](https://blog.chaos.com/whats-new-in-veras#Smart), you can isolate an area on your floor plan and use a prompt like *"Add a connecting bedroom in the selected area."* The AI Segmentation allows you to segment your image by Category, Object, Material, or Prompt, and apply changes only to those specific areas. ## **Mapping your AI design journey** [Integrating Veras into your workflow](https://blog.chaos.com/ways-architects-and-designers-are-using-veras?hsLang=en) supports the entire lifecycle of a project: ## **The future: 3D models from images** If you are using tools beyond LT, Veras is constantly expanding. When used inside [Enscape](https://www.chaos.com/enscape), Veras benefits from a live sync. This means navigation is faster, the viewport quality is higher, and crucial information like exact lighting and materials is fed directly into Veras as baseline data, resulting in highly accurate renders. With the release of the Model tab in Veras, it can now turn Veras-generated images into 3D geometry placed and scaled directly within your BIM model, as well as complete fully detailed 3D models from an AI-generated visual using GPT-6 Astra. Check out all [new updates in this article](https://blog.chaos.com/veras-adds-gpt-6-astra-and-claude-opus-5.5?hsLang=en). By integrating Chaos Veras, the traditional boundaries of 2D CAD are broken, allowing your creativity—and your client presentations—to move at the speed of thought. ### Ready to try Chaos products?
