Question 1

What inputs does the Facade Swap technique require?

Accepted Answer

Two images: a structural input (the building or facade to reskin) and a material input (the new material, texture, or finish to apply).

Question 2

What is the output?

Accepted Answer

One re-skinned rendering image (3:2 aspect ratio) showing your building with the new material applied to its facade.

Question 3

Can the technique swap individual facade sections?

Accepted Answer

The technique applies the material reference across the entire facade in one click. There are no controls for targeting specific sections.

Question 4

What kinds of materials work as input?

Accepted Answer

Any material image works: brick, glass, wood, stone, metal panels, concrete, and more. The clearer the material sample, the better the result.

Question 5

How do I try different materials?

Accepted Answer

Run the technique again with the same structural image but a different material reference. Each run produces one rendering.

Question 6

Does the technique preserve the building's structure?

Accepted Answer

The Facade Swap technique maintains the structural form and geometry of your building while replacing the surface material with your reference. Run Facade Swap on the FLORA canvas to combine it with other tools, edit your outputs, or build it into a larger workflow.

Question 7

Is this the best AI for architecture rendering?

Accepted Answer

The Facade Swap technique focuses on one job: reskinning a building's facade with a new material reference. For that specific facade rendering AI task, it returns a clean re-skinned result in about a minute. If you need broader AI architecture rendering such as full scenes, interiors, or lighting studies, combine it with other tools on the FLORA canvas.

Question 8

How does this AI render tool work?

Accepted Answer

Upload a structural image and a material reference, then run the technique. As an AI render tool, it reads the building's geometry from the structural input and applies the material from your reference across the facade, working as a one-click AI rendering generator. There are no manual settings, and each run returns a single rendering you can recreate with a new material to compare options.

Question 9

Does this work as 3D rendering AI?

Accepted Answer

The technique reads a 3D-looking structural photo and outputs a flat 2D rendering image with the new facade material applied. It is not a 3D modeling program and does not export a 3D file, so anyone searching for 3D rendering AI to get an editable model will need dedicated 3D software. What you get here is a photorealistic 2D rendering of the reskinned building.

Question 10

Can I use a SketchUp exterior design as the structural input?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The structural input accepts any building image in JPG, PNG, or WEBP format, so a screenshot or export of a SketchUp exterior design works. For the cleanest result, use a clear, well-lit view of the facade with minimal background clutter, since the technique reads the building geometry from that image before applying your material reference.
