Ideatura helps you turn instructions and references into drawings, 3D models and project documentation. Describe the result you need, inspect the work and refine it in the same conversation. Work in **Ideatura Studio** with IFC, DWG and PDF files, or connect **Revit, AutoCAD, Rhino or Blender** to work in your existing project. You can save repeatable tasks as automations and share your team's standards as skills. ![Ideatura](https://docs.ideatura.ai/images/v2/welcome-preview/logo-mark.png) Ideatura Studio **Chat** Ideatura Stadium ![PDF document](https://docs.ideatura.ai/images/v2/welcome-preview/integrations/pdf.png) Roof markups The client requested changes to the retractable roof mechanism. I’ve marked up the guide rails and roof panel alignment in the attached PDF. Please review the markups, update the stadium model, and return the revised IFC. I’ve reviewed the markups in your PDF and applied the requested changes. The stadium model is now updated, including the **retractable roof mechanism**, guide rail positions, and roof panel alignment. The revised IFC is ready for review. **File** ![Ideatura Stadium IFC model preview](https://docs.ideatura.ai/images/v2/welcome-preview/ideatura-stadium-ifc.webp) Ideatura Stadium.ifc Now make a photorealistic render. Warm afternoon light, trees around it, roof partly open. No people. Keep the updated roof structure clearly visible.

[Create an account](https://docs.ideatura.ai/v2/get-started/create-an-account.md) and [install Studio](https://docs.ideatura.ai/v2/get-started/installation.md) first. ## Core concepts * **Studio** is the desktop app where you chat, add references and review results in viewers. The **web portal** is where you manage your account and subscription. * A **chat** keeps a task's instructions, replies and results together. **Connected Apps** selects the open application document AI can work on. * A **workspace** holds your team's shared files, skills and automations. A **project** groups related chats. * A **skill** is a reusable set of instructions. An **automation** is a saved task with inputs you choose before running it. The **shared library** makes these available to your team. * A **scene** brings 3D content together in a viewer. **IFC** is a building-model file format you can work with directly in Studio. A **markup** is a note or drawing on a viewer that helps you point AI to a specific area. ## Who Ideatura is for Architects start the model, engineers detail it, BIM managers keep it clean. Ideatura works on that one model they all touch. * **Architects:** take a round of comments from the redlined PDF to the revised set without redrawing by hand. Ideatura reads the markup, changes the model and rebuilds the sheets it affects. * **Drafters:** dimensions, tags, views and sheets across a whole set, in Revit or AutoCAD. Show one example, and Ideatura repeats it across the view or the set. * **Building engineers:** detail elements, junctions and assemblies, developed from your project and your references and kept in line with the model. * **Structural engineers:** bring structural models and drawings into the coordinated model, review them against the architecture and send back what needs fixing. * **MEP engineers:** model services, tag and dimension pipe and duct runs, and produce sheet sets for plumbing, HVAC and electrical, in the same live model the rest of the project uses. * **BIM managers:** check models and drawing packs against your rules, keep them clean, and keep the methods that work in one library the whole office uses. * **BIM developers:** describe the method once. Ideatura writes it, tests it on your model and saves it as an automation with inputs others can run without touching code. * **Compliance & regulations:** turn the code you work to into checks, run them on the model and the set, and get the issues back where people can act on them. * **Reporting & analysis:** quantities, schedules and takeoffs already live in the model. Ideatura reads the live model directly, so reports come from the same source as the drawings instead of a copy that drifted out of date. ## Why use Ideatura * **Keep working in your existing tools.** Make changes directly in Revit, AutoCAD, Rhino or Blender, and review the results in your project. * **Carry a task across files and applications.** Bring in marked-up PDFs, DWGs, IFC models and specifications, then use them together to update and document your design. * **Reuse your team's expertise.** Save standards as shared skills and successful tasks as automations that colleagues can run with their own inputs. ## What you can do with Ideatura > [card] [Create 3D models](https://docs.ideatura.ai/v2/get-started/3d-modeling-quick-start.md) > > Build and edit 3D models in IFC, Revit, Rhino or Blender using your instructions and references. > [card] [Create Revit families](https://docs.ideatura.ai/v2/guides/model/reference-model/turn-a-detail-into-a-parametric-family.md) > > Create parametric families from references.
