Text to DWG with AI 3D DWG files, free

Describe an object with its sizes and the AI builds it in the viewer at real size. Export a DWG that contains the model as 3D faces, ready to insert into an AutoCAD drawing or block.

Free. Use your own Anthropic or OpenAI key.

Also from Innerscene: Circadian Lab, a free lighting calculator for room illuminance, melanopic EML, and glare.

Need a floor plan? The same AI can also draw furnished floor plans as DWG, with walls, doors, room areas and dimensions.

Watch how it works

How it works

  1. 1. Describe it or add a photoType what you want in plain words, with sizes if you know them, or add a photo as a reference. Describe an object or a person.
  2. 2. The AI builds and checks itThe AI writes an OpenSCAD program for an object, or sets up the character generator for a person. It looks at six rendered views of the result and fixes what is wrong, up to five builds per message.
  3. 3. Refine and exportThe model opens in the viewer at real size. Ask for changes in the chat, move the sliders, then download it or pick a format from the Export menu.

Why make it with AI here

  • DWG is the file most architects, engineers and contractors already exchange.
  • The model comes in at true size, so it lines up with plans drawn in millimetres or inches.
  • A quick furniture or equipment block saves drawing it by hand from a catalogue.

Exporting DWG

  1. Open the Export menu and choose DWG.
  2. Open the file in AutoCAD, BricsCAD or DraftSight, or insert it into a drawing as a block.
  3. Use a 3D view or the visual styles to see the faces.

The DWG holds 3D faces (3DFACE entities), which work well for display and reference. Export SAT when you need an ACIS solid body.

Best export formats: DWG, DXF

Good to know

3D faces cannot be filleted, unioned or sliced like solids in AutoCAD. Detailed 2D drawing views are not generated.

Cost and privacy

You use your own Anthropic or OpenAI API key. It is stored only in your browser and sent only to that provider, which bills you directly: a model typically costs $0.05 to $0.30 at Standard quality and up to about $1 at Detailed, and Innerscene charges nothing. Your key and prompts are not sent to Innerscene; we record anonymous usage statistics such as the steps used, the model chosen, token counts, a cost estimate and whether a model was made.

Questions

▶Can AI make a DWG file?
Yes. It builds a 3D model, and the Export menu writes it to DWG as 3D faces.
▶Is it a 2D or 3D DWG?
It is a 3D model made of 3D faces. Use AutoCAD's FLATSHOT or a viewport if you need a 2D view.
▶Which units is the DWG in?
The model is built at the real size you asked for. Check the INSUNITS setting when you insert it into a drawing in other units.
▶Does it open in AutoCAD LT?
AutoCAD LT can open and display the 3D faces, though LT has limited 3D tools.
