The problem
The seller drew a layout on a napkin. The architect emailed a yellow trace. The rough sketch is fine for thinking but cannot ship on the listing. Sketch to floor plan redraws the sketch as a clean, publication-grade 2D plan — preserving the rooms, adjacencies, and intent without re-designing the home.
Different from the 2D-to-3D floor plan tool, which lifts an existing flat plan into a sited 3D view. This tool starts from a SKETCH and produces a clean 2D plan.
The standard
- Every room and adjacency from the sketch is preserved — no rooms invented, no walls moved.
- Doors, windows, and stairs are drawn with standard architectural symbols, inferred from the sketch.
- Three output styles: clean 2D, classic blueprint, or soft colour-filled marketing.
- Optional dimensions, room labels, and lightweight furniture placeholders — each independently toggleable.
- Honours hand-written labels — "Master Bed" stays "Master Bed", not generic "Bedroom".
The handoff
Hi-res PNG sized for portal, brochure, and print. The manifest records which style was chosen and which annotation layers were included.
Companion tools
Sketch to floor plan pairs with the 2D-to-3D floor plan tool — clean up the sketch first, then lift it into 3D for the brochure.
When Vesta runs it
Used as a one-off when a listing arrives with only a sketch, or as step 00 of the Fixer-Upper Concept run when the renovation concept exists only as a sketch.

Aerial drone vs ground exterior: when each viewpoint sells the listing
A drone shot shows the lot. A ground shot shows the entry. Both belong in a serious listing — but they answer different questions, and most marketing campaigns lead with the wrong one.

Virtual repaint vs actual painting: render the color first
A wall painted the wrong color costs $400-$800 to redo. A virtual repaint costs minutes. A practical guide to using virtual paint as the conversation before committing — for sellers, agents, and the buyers staring at a listing trying to imagine it different.

Floor plan vs 3D rendering: which one closes the new-construction sale?
A floor plan tells the buyer how the unit measures. A 3D render tells them how it lives. Both belong in a new-construction campaign — but they answer different parts of the buying decision, and most projects under-resource one of the two.

Virtual staging vs empty room photos: when empty is the right call
Virtual staging is the right move on most vacant listings — but not all of them. A practical guide to the cases where empty rooms actually photograph better, and the budget reasons to choose one over the other.
