Plana turns PNG, JPG and PDF floor plans into a DXF with AIA layers for walls, doors, windows and rooms, drawn to scale and ready for AutoCAD, Revit and the rest of the studio. First three plans free during the pilot.
Pay only for what you convert: no seats, no subscription. Plana is in a pilot, so your first three plans are free and every plan ships with a check image and a free re-run on anything wrong.
Pay as you go, in packs of 5 or 10 plans. Your first three plans are free during the pilot.
Fifty plans or more, quoted per batch. Send a folder, get a folder back.
For teams with a steady monthly flow of plans, or layer conventions of their own.
Every plan we vectorize unstacks into labeled sheets: walls with thickness, doors, windows, room outlines with their names, fixtures and text, each on its own CAD layer. No polyline soup, no untangling.
Your team picks up exactly the geometry they need. Swap a door swing without re-tracing the wall. Freeze the room layer and keep the walls. Snap a corner and leave everything underneath untouched.
Layer codes ship AIA-standard out of the box:
A-WALL, A-WALL-PATT, A-DOOR, A-GLAZ,
A-AREA, A-AREA-IDEN, A-ANNO-TEXT, A-FURN.
Custom mappings come after the pilot.
Send a plan by email or through the request form. Plana handles preprocessing, detection, vectorization and export, and returns the files with a check image so you can judge each plan in seconds.
PNG, JPG or PDF, one floor per image, plus the overall width of the building in meters. That one number sets the scale.
The engine reads walls with their thickness, doors, windows, rooms and text, then rebuilds clean vector geometry. Minutes per plan.
Every plan ships with your original beside the drawing. You look; anything wrong is re-run free.
A DXF with AIA layers and an SVG, in mm or inches. DWG on request.
Drafters still redraw scanned plans by hand: billable hours spent on lines a model can find in seconds. Plana turns the trace into a translation: the source is preserved, the geometry is rebuilt clean, and every element comes labeled to the layer your CAD expects.
Every export opens in AutoCAD, BricsCAD, Revit or ArchiCAD with layers and line weights intact, drawn to scale. DXF is the native output; DWG is converted from it on request, and every plan ships with a check image.
Layered drawing exchange format with AIA-named layers, walls as closed outlines with fill, doors with swings, mm or inches.
A vector rendering of the DXF for decks, listings and quick review in a browser or Figma.
Converted from the DXF when you ask for it, so it opens in AutoCAD, BricsCAD or DraftSight without an import step.
A side-by-side image of the source plan and the vectorized result, so you can judge every plan in seconds before opening CAD.
Whether it is one renovation with a scanned plan, a drafting backlog, or an archive of legacy drawings, it is the same engine, run at your volume.
Turn the scanned plan or PDF a client hands you into a layered DXF you can start the renovation from, instead of redrawing it before the real work begins.
Clear a redraw backlog of printed and computer-drawn plans. You get the walls, openings and rooms on the right layers and spend your hours on the cleanup that needs a drafter.
Digitize an archive of legacy drawings in batches of fifty or more, delivered as folders of layered DXF and DWG with an invoice, so the estate data finally matches the buildings.
If something here doesn't answer it, write to us; the founder replies within a working day.
A printed or computer-drawn plan at 150 dpi or better, with walls clearly darker than the page, one floor per image. Hand-drawn sketches, curved walls and sheets with several floors are outside the pilot scope; we tell you before running them and never charge for them.
On our benchmark of 20 clean, computer-drawn residential plans, room detection scores F1 0.98 and door and window detection about 0.92. Real scans vary, so every delivery includes a side-by-side check image and anything wrong is re-run free. Wall corners may need snapping in CAD.
AIA layer names: A-WALL and A-WALL-PATT for walls, A-DOOR, A-GLAZ for windows, A-AREA for room outlines, A-AREA-IDEN-<room name> for room names, A-ANNO-TEXT and A-FURN. Custom layer mapping is on the list for after the pilot.
During the pilot, plans are run as a service and returned as a zip, usually within one business day. An API and on-premise deployment are on the roadmap; platforms that need geometry programmatically can evaluate quality with a batch run first.
You give one overall measurement per plan, the building width outside wall to outside wall in meters, and the whole drawing is scaled to it in mm or inches, so every distance measures correctly in CAD. Check one known dimension after import.
You keep ownership of your plans and the output. Files are processed by our AI provider under commercial terms that exclude training on your data, and deleted from our systems 30 days after delivery. We keep plans for testing only if you opt in.
Questions about formats, scale, or a particular plan you're stuck on? Write: a human reads every message, usually within a working day.
We open Plana to a handful of studios at a time. Tell us what you would convert; your first three plans are free during the pilot.
