    Introduction

    What is the Describe Tool?

    The Describe tool allows you to generate images directly from text descriptions. It uses AI to interpret your prompt and create architectural visuals based on your instructions. This tool is ideal for generating concept imagery, exploring design ideas, visualising architectural scenes, and creating references for further refinement on the canvas. You can combine text descriptions and reference images to guide the generated results.

    Feature Overview

    Understanding the interface

    The Describe Panel

    Click the Describe icon in the bottom toolbar to open the Describe Concept panel on the right side of the canvas. The panel includes:

    • **Image Reference** — Drag and drop or click to upload a reference image (PNG, JPG, max 10MB). Use a CAD screenshot, physical model, simple render, or sketch to guide the style, composition, and context of the generated result.
    • **Description** — Enter your prompt using the recommended formula: [Main Subject], [Context & Key Features], [Atmosphere & Lighting], [Style], [Extra Keywords].
    • **Enhance Prompt** — Automatically rewrites your prompt with clearer structure, richer visual details, and improved prompting language.
