Create generates a new architectural image from text. It combines your prompt with the project's five-field Composition.

Create requirements

Create requires one non-empty prompt. It does not require a source image.

Before sending, review the Composition and write the current view. Add references only when they clarify materials or mood. Then choose the model, available settings, and output count.

  1. Select Create in the Composer.
  2. Review the Project's Style, Scene, Lighting, Materials, and Entourage.
  3. Describe the camera, scene, and result needed for this send.
  4. Attach references only when they clarify materials, mood, or content.
  5. Choose the model, supported settings, and output count.
  6. Select Send.
Describe the result, check the controls, then send when the prompt is ready.
Create at a glance
Inputs
Prompt, Composition, and optional Composer references.
Aims to preserve
No source image to preserve. The saved Project context still applies.
Instructs change
Instructs the model to build a new scene, camera, and finish.

The saved Composition is included with the render request. Empty fields remain empty, so the prompt carries more of the brief.

Create also checks for usable Style, Scene, Lighting, Materials, Entourage, and an explicit view. It uses the saved Composition, the current prompt, and clear visual references together. If an outcome-changing direction is missing, the Composer asks one short question with suggested bundles and a custom reply. Your current prompt wins over a conflicting reusable field for this render. Mode rules still remain mandatory.

After the final answer, CAD Scene submits one resolved prompt automatically. Select Skip and Send Now to send the original prompt instead. Skipping discards the answers and stores no clarification.

Use project settings for decisions that should persist across studies. Use the prompt for the current image. See Composition and the five fields for the field boundaries.

Prompt example

Create a street-level view of a compact courtyard library. Use warm red brick, weathered brass, and pale stone. Set soft overcast afternoon light. Add two people, parked bicycles, and restrained planting. Keep the image calm and editorial.

This prompt names the Scene, Materials, Lighting, Entourage, and Style. A useful prompt gives each visible decision one clear phrase.

Avoid repeating a long Composition in every send. Save durable decisions in the matching fields, then use a shorter prompt for each view.

Prefilled directory prompts

The architecture prompt directory contains complete, adaptable Create and Enhance prompts. Use in CAD Scene creates a new Project and fills the matching Composer mode.

Review the prompt against your Project before sending. Change any project, material, light, camera, or activity detail that does not fit. A prefilled prompt never sends automatically and never spends credits until you select Send.

Composer reference images

Composer reference images are optional visual context for the current send. Create supports them with every current model.

You can attach up to five references. Use the attachment control to:

  • upload an image;
  • choose a render or upload already in CAD Scene;
  • attach the latest successful render.

References guide materials, palette, mood, or content. They are not treated as the scene to reproduce. Create still starts from the written brief.

A reference supplies the render view only when the prompt explicitly asks to use that reference's view. Attaching it alone does not replace the written view requirement.

Remove an image before sending if it conflicts with the prompt. The Composer prevents more references after the limit is reached.

For each send, model and available settings affect capability and cost. Resolution appears when the model offers it. Create also exposes Aspect. GPT image models expose Quality. The output count creates parallel results from the same brief. Read Models, quality, credits, and daily limits and Parallel Variants versus Variations.

Review a Create result

Compare the result against three inputs: prompt, Composition, and references. Check the camera and scene first. Then inspect materials, lighting, and entourage.

Interactive example

Create prompt-to-render sequence. The surrounding article includes the same guidance in static text.

Create starts from a written view brief. The project Composition and any attached references shape the same send.

Static example: Create starts from a written view brief. It combines that brief with the saved Composition and any references attached to the message, then holds the finished result for review.

If one decision is wrong, revise the narrowest source. Change the prompt for this view. Change a Composition field when every future render needs the fix.
