Create a project.

Making the project

RoomGen Studio opens at /home. The left sidebar lists every project you own, and the New project button at the top of it creates another. There is no dialog and nothing to fill in: the project is created straight away and opens on its own canvas.

New projects are called Untitled. To rename one, double-click its name in the sidebar and type over it. That double-click is a running theme in the studio - on the canvas it opens things too, which is covered in click, double-click and ⌘-click.

The three parts of the studio

Once a project is open, everything you do happens in one of three places. Knowing which one owns which job is most of the learning curve.

The canvas

The canvas is the large area in the middle. It is infinite and it scrolls in every direction, so it holds your floor plan, a tile per room, every render those rooms produced, and any video clips. Tiles can be selected, opened and used as references for each other. Because it is infinite, work can end up outside the viewport - panning and zooming covers how to get back to something you have lost.

The side panel

The side panel sits on the right and has three tabs:

• Agent - a chat assistant that can drive the studio for you. It can scan a plan, list the rooms it found, furnish one and render it, and it asks before anything that costs credits.
• Designer library - a gallery of one-click presets, split into Map, Room and Render. Map restyles the floor plan itself, Room holds the camera angles, and Render holds the design tools that alter a finished image. The active sub-tab follows whatever you have selected on the canvas.
• AI Video - camera-move presets and trend templates that turn a still render into a clip. See turning a render into a clip.

The composer

The composer is the input bar along the bottom. Type a plain instruction - a room to render, a change to make - and it goes to the agent. It also has an Auto mode toggle, which expands into a short wizard (scope, style, budget, quality) and then plans a whole floor at once. It always shows a cost estimate and waits for you to press Run, so turning it on does not by itself spend anything.

Adding a floor plan

A project without a plan is still useful - you can generate images from a written description - but the plan is what unlocks per-room work. Upload one and the studio reads it, finds the rooms, and creates a tile for each. From there each room can be traced and rendered from a preset angle, which is what your first render walks through.

With nothing selected on the canvas, an Upload plan pill sits above the composer; the same action lives in the + menu, and you can drag a file straight onto the canvas instead. Plans go in as images, so a photo, a screenshot or an export all work. If the studio misreads a room or misses one, select the plan and press Manage rooms - it opens the same room editor a double-click on the plan does, and rooms can be corrected or added there.

One project can hold several plans - a ground floor and a first floor, say. Each carries its own rooms and its own renders, so a whole house stays in one project rather than three.

Where the output goes

Renders land on the canvas beside the room that produced them, so the project stays readable as it grows. They also collect in Moodboards, a gallery spanning every project, which is the faster way to find an image when you have forgotten which project made it. Catalog holds the furniture the studio can place, and Settings holds your credit balance.

Nothing above costs credits. Creating projects, uploading plans, tracing rooms and rearranging the canvas are all free; credits are spent only when an image or clip is generated, and always behind an estimate you confirm first.
