Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about converting paper sketches
How do I convert a paper sketch to an evacuation route map?
Take a clear photo of your paper sketch with your smartphone or camera. Upload the image to our generator. Our AI enhances the image, identifies your floor layout, and converts it into a professional evacuation route map with proper exits, routes, and safety symbols. The whole process takes under a minute.
What type of paper sketch works best?
Any paper sketch showing your floor layout works - graph paper, plain paper, napkin sketches, or architectural drawings. Use dark pen or marker for best results, though pencil works too. The key is having visible lines that show walls, doors, and room boundaries.
Will the generator fix my messy sketch?
Yes! Our AI cleans up sketchy lines, straightens crooked walls, and creates a polished, professional-looking map. It's designed to work with imperfect drawings - your sketch doesn't need to be neat. The AI interprets your intent and creates a clean evacuation route map.
Can I photograph my sketch with a phone?
Absolutely. Smartphone photos work great. For best results: photograph in good lighting, hold the camera straight above the paper, and ensure all edges are visible. Our AI handles perspective correction, so even slightly angled photos produce accurate maps.
What evacuation route elements are added automatically?
The generator adds: primary and secondary evacuation routes with directional arrows, EXIT sign locations, fire extinguisher positions, "You Are Here" markers, assembly point designation, room labels, and a professional legend. All routes are calculated for optimal egress from every area.
Can I convert multiple paper sketches for a large building?
Yes. Upload sketches for each floor or section of your building. The generator creates coordinated evacuation route maps with consistent styling, proper floor labeling, and stairwell connections between floors. Perfect for multi-story buildings or campus facilities.
