^ This. Also, if you are looking for something that actually respects your floor plan without breaking the bank, I have been very satisfied with Veras AI for SketchUp 1.0. It basically takes your geometry and skins it, which keeps the dimensions real so you dont end up with a garden office that is physically impossible to construct. Honestly, for $70 you can easily get a monthly license and still have cash left over for a nice lunch. Another solid route is Rayon AI Space Planning Tool. It is much more focused on the actual layout and technical side than just pretty pictures. No complaints so far with how it handles small-scale projects. You might also want to check out the SketchUp 3D Warehouse for pre-made shed models to use as a base before you run the AI over it. It saves a ton of time before your Tuesday deadline.

Yo, congrats on the project! building in Austin is a blast but honestly, dont get too swept up in the Midjourney hype. It looks sick but it'll give you a design that is basically impossible to build lol. If you got seventy bucks and a Tuesday deadline, I would suggest being super careful with the geometry side of things. I've messed around with LookX AI Architecture Design Platform Monthly Subscription and it's definitely more tuned for actual buildings than generic image generators. But look, even with something like ArkoAI for SketchUp Plugin, you gotta double check everything. AI loves to hallucinate weird structural stuff that'll fail a permit check in a heartbeat. Make sure you use the AI for the shell, then manually verify your dimensions. Ngl, it's easy to waste your cash on a tool that just gives you pretty vibes instead of something a contractor can actually use... just be careful out there.

I used Maket.ai Pro Plan for a project last year. Its reliable for generating floor plans within a $50 budget. Safer choice than tools that prioritize aesthetics over buildable geometry.

tbh i am literally dealing with this exact same headache right now trying to get a studio shed designed for my backyard. i have been going back and forth for like a month and honestly i still havent found a tool that actually works for someone with a small budget like ours.

• Midjourney v6 looks sick but the geometry is a total mess
• LookX AI Architecture seems better for buildings but i am scared to drop the cash if it fails
• ArkoAI is on my radar but i keep hearing mixed reviews about the accuracy it is honestly so frustrating when you have exactly 70 bucks to spend and a deadline breathing down your neck... i have been stuck in this loop for weeks and still have zero floor plans to show for it.

In my experience, if you want something that wont hallucinate structural impossibilities, you should look at PromeAI Pro Plan. I've spent years testing these engines and most fail because they don't understand perspective or depth. This one lets you upload a rough sketch or a basic 3D block-out and it strictly adheres to those lines. It's the most reliable way to get a design done by Tuesday without needing to redo the floor plan later because the geometry stayed solid. If you're more technically inclined, I'd suggest running Stable Diffusion with ControlNet extension. It's basically the gold standard for technical accuracy. You can use it via ThinkDiffusion Pro Plan if you dont have a heavy-duty GPU at home. The technical advantage here is using the Canny or Depth models which are specifically designed to detect and maintain straight architectural lines. I've tried many tools over the years and they usually just mask the fact they're using SD under the hood, so going direct gives you way more control over the denoising strength. You wont find a more precise way to keep your Austin garden office within the actual footprint you planned. It's a bit of a learning curve but it's worth it for the reliability.
