1. Detect footprint → 2. Draw keepouts → 3. Prompt the AI
Welcome to SolarCAD AI. Flow: detect footprint, draw keepouts, then prompt the AI for layout generation.

Tip: If you already adjusted the footprint, AI will use it as-is.
1
Detect Footprint Generate & refine building outline

Generates building footprint from dataset. Click the outline to show vertex handles — drag • vertices to reshape, click ◊ midpoints to add points. Drag the shape to reposition. Edits are saved to the project. Set height (m) to see extrusions in 3D view.

Draw Keep Out Zones HVAC, skylights, vents

Hold Shift while drawing for 90°/vertex snap · Ctrl+C/V to copy/paste keepouts · Double-click to close polygon shape
