Plan rooms, furnish and paint them, bring in drawings, and turn any view into an AI render. Luw\.ai Studio, at [studio.luw.ai](https://studio.luw.ai), lets you design a building in 3D without installing anything. You lay out rooms on a grid, cut in doors and windows, stack up floors, put a roof on, then furnish and paint the result and look at it from any angle, including at eye level as if you were standing inside. It suits anyone who wants to see a space before committing to it: a homeowner planning a renovation, a designer testing furniture layouts, an architect sketching an early scheme, or a student learning how buildings go together. You can draw everything by hand, or let Archiagent.ai do the first draft for you and refine it yourself.

## What you can do **Build.** Draw a room as a rectangle or polygon, or one wall at a time; every closed room gets its own floor and ceiling. Add levels, stairs, roofs, columns, zones and free-form blocks, and outdoor parts such as fences, terraces and terrain. In supported regions you can type a street address and the Studio fetches the lot outline and the roads around it. Start with [Walls](/luw.ai-studio/building/walls.md). **Furnish.** Place furniture, appliances and kitchen, bathroom and outdoor items from the built-in catalog, or upload your own GLB or GLTF models. See [Finding items](/luw.ai-studio/items-and-paint/finding-items.md). **Paint.** Give walls, floors, roofs and furniture a finish from the material library: colours, wood, stone, brick, tile, concrete and more. See [Materials and paint](/luw.ai-studio/items-and-paint/materials-and-paint.md). **Create with Luw\.ai.** AI is built in, and everything it makes for a project collects in that project's **Gallery**: * **Archiagent.ai**, on the **Edit with AI** tab, is an AI architect that works in your project from plain requests, typed or spoken. It can draft a furnished flat from a short brief, trace a floor plan picture, model a chair from a photo, finish surfaces, or change whatever you point at. See [Archiagent.ai](/luw.ai-studio/luw.ai-ai-tools/archiagent.md). * **Photo → 3D** turns a photo of a piece of furniture, or a few words about it, into a 3D model you can place, usually within two to three minutes. See [Photo to 3D](/luw.ai-studio/luw.ai-ai-tools/photo-to-3d.md). * **AI textures** make a seamless material from a description or a photo, ready to paint onto any surface. See [AI textures](/luw.ai-studio/luw.ai-ai-tools/ai-textures.md). **Render with AI.** Press **Render** in the toolbar, choose the time of day, the light and how closely the picture should keep to your design, and the Studio turns the current 3D view into a photoreal image in HD or 4K. Ask Archiagent and a render can become a short video. See [Render with AI](/luw.ai-studio/luw.ai-ai-tools/render-with-ai.md). **Bring work in.** Import a CAD drawing (DXF), a BIM model (IFC) or a Luw\.ai Studio project file (.luw). A floor plan image or PDF can be turned into walls by Archiagent, or laid under the grid so you can trace it. See [Import](/luw.ai-studio/import-and-export/import.md) and [Guide images](/luw.ai-studio/building/guide-images.md). **Take work out.** Download the project as a .luw file, the floor plan as PNG, SVG or PDF, the 3D model as GLB, USDZ, OBJ, STL or IFC, or a 3MF / STL set ready for a 3D printer. See [Export](/luw.ai-studio/import-and-export/export.md). **Walk through it.** Step inside in first person, or put on a headset and look around in VR. See [Walkthrough and VR](/luw.ai-studio/plugins/walkthrough-and-vr.md). ## One Luw\.ai account for everything The Studio is part of the Luw\.ai family of tools. You sign in with your Luw\.ai account, the same one you use on [luw.ai](https://luw.ai) and [app.luw.ai](https://app.luw.ai), and every AI feature draws on the same credit balance. Your current balance sits in the top bar of the Studio; click it to manage your account or top up on app.luw\.ai. Your projects are stored in your Luw\.ai account, so they follow you from one computer to the next. The interface is available in 26 languages, and the language you pick carries over to the other Luw\.ai sites. Read more in [The Luw.ai ecosystem](/luw.ai-studio/luw.ai-ai-tools/luw-ai-ecosystem.md), [Account and sign-in](/luw.ai-studio/account/account-and-sign-in.md) and [Credits](/luw.ai-studio/account/credits.md). {% hint style="info" %} You can open the Studio without signing in and try it in demo mode. Nothing you do there is saved, and the AI features stay locked until you sign in. {% endhint %} {% hint style="warning" %} The Studio is made for a desktop or laptop browser with a mouse or trackpad. It opens on phones too, but small screens get a **Desktop recommended** notice first. {% endhint %} ## Where to start New here?
