02Step-by-Step Guide
1

Consolidate Documents and Find Missing Dimensions

Place all house-related documents (floor plan, permits, disclosures) into a single folder. Ask Claude Cowork to analyze the folder to find a reference point, like garage dimensions from a permit, and calculate the dimensions for the entire unit-less floor plan.

Prompt:
In this folder you can find a floor plan. Can you figure out what the units for that floor plan are? and maybe make me. a new one with units.
2

Generate an Interactive 2D Planner

Instead of asking Claude to place furniture manually, prompt it to build an interactive 2D application where you can move the furniture around yourself. This automates the entire desired outcome, not just a single step.

Pro Tip: Think one abstraction layer up. Don't just ask the AI to do a task, ask it to build a tool that solves the underlying problem.
3

Upgrade to an Immersive 3D Walkthrough

Ask Claude to convert the 2D plan into a full 3D model. It will analyze the floor plan image, identify the walls, and extrude them to create a virtual space you can walk through like a video game.

Personalize with Your Actual Furniture

Connect your Gmail account to Claude Cowork. Prompt Claude to find furniture purchase receipts in your email, extract the item dimensions, and add your specific furniture to the 3D model, turning your email into a personal inventory database.
