Question 1

What types of sketches work?

Accepted Answer

Gendo works with any visual input — pencil sketches, pen drawings, digital line art, grey 3D model exports, and even rough napkin drawings. The AI interprets spatial relationships, so as long as your sketch conveys room proportions and basic geometry, it will produce accurate results.

Question 2

How accurate is it?

Accepted Answer

Gendo preserves the spatial geometry of your sketch. Room proportions, window positions, wall angles, and structural elements are maintained in the output render. You control style, materials, and lighting independently of the underlying geometry.

Question 3

Can I control the style?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can choose from preset styles, use text prompts to describe the desired aesthetic, or upload a reference image to define materials and mood. Style, materials, and lighting are all independently controllable.

Question 4

Is it free?

Accepted Answer

Gendo offers a free plan with watermarked renders. No credit card required. Paid plans unlock unwatermarked outputs, more projects, and full commercial-use licensing.

Question 5

What software can I use alongside Gendo?

Accepted Answer

Gendo accepts image inputs from any design tool — SketchUp, Revit, Rhino, ArchiCAD, Vectorworks, Blender, Procreate, and more. Any viewport export, screenshot, or scanned sketch works as a starting point.

Question 6

How is Gendo different from generic AI image tools?

Accepted Answer

Generic AI image generators don't preserve architectural geometry or spatial proportions. Gendo is purpose-built for spatial design — it maintains room structure, supports material changes, and keeps all assets in a shared project canvas. Read the full comparison.

Question 7

Can teams collaborate on sketch-to-render projects?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Gendo's canvas is a multiplayer workspace where team members can generate renders, leave notes, discuss variations, and build presentation packs together. It replaces fragmented workflows.

Question 8

Is my design data secure?

Accepted Answer

On Studio and Enterprise plans, all prompts and outputs are treated as confidential IP. They are never used for model training. Gendo operates on GDPR-compliant EU data centres. Read more about data and control.
