Question 1

How precise is the automated 3D geometry?

Accepted Answer

Planeva produces millimeter-accurate geometry. Every generated shell has been verified against reference models in SketchUp and AutoCAD to ensure dimensional fidelity suitable for design-development and client-review stages.

Question 2

Does Planeva require special layer naming in my DXF?

Accepted Answer

Planeva works best with clean, disciplined DXF layers—standard wall, opening, and core layers are detected automatically. You don't need a proprietary naming convention; just follow good drafting hygiene and the automation handles the rest.

Question 3

How fast is the conversion?

Accepted Answer

An initial 3D shell is typically ready in under 30 seconds. Complex multi-story plans may take slightly longer, but the entire round-trip—DXF import to exportable OBJ/DAE—remains dramatically faster than manual modeling.

Question 4

Which operating systems are supported?

Accepted Answer

Planeva currently runs on Windows 10 and Windows 11. macOS support is on our roadmap and will be announced through the blog and product changelog as soon as it's available.

Question 5

How does licensing work?

Accepted Answer

Licenses are tied to your Arkyra account, not a single machine. You can activate your license on multiple PCs and move between workstations freely—ideal for studios with shared hardware or remote team members.

Question 6

Which DXF versions are supported?

Accepted Answer

Planeva reads any standard DXF version, from legacy R12 through the latest AutoCAD 2026 format. If your CAD tool can export DXF, Planeva can ingest it.
