The Platform · v2026

The StantonDesk.

One workspace for every stage of a residential project — sketch a plan, walk it in 3D, export elevations and a builder-ready price the moment a wall moves.

The capabilities

Five disciplines. One canvas.

The Desk replaces the back-and-forth between SketchUp, Excel, ArchiCAD and a project manager. Every stage runs against the same live file, so a wall moved at 9am re-prices the build by 9.01.

01 · The Desk2D Planning

Draw itdown tothe millimetre.

A pixel-precise 2D editor with snapping, alignment guides, multi-floor support, freestanding walls, hosted openings, furniture and live measurements. Built for the way architects actually draw.

01 · Detail · 2D Planning

A 2D editor built like CAD, navigated like a sketchbook.

A 10 mm world grid with smart guides, snapping, multi-floor switching, freestanding walls and hosted openings. Every artefact is selectable, editable, history-tracked and round-tripped to 3D in real time.

A

Snap & guides

Endpoint, midpoint, perpendicular and parallel snaps. Live smart-alignment guides between any two object edges, with hysteresis and a unified tolerance.

B

Hosted openings

Doors, windows, garage doors and module openings host to a wall. Drag the wall, the opening follows; resize the wall, the opening span stays true.

C

Multi-floor

Per-project floor registry with menu and roof level. Hidden-floor activation, intermediate-gap guards and floor-switch rebase keep walls jump-free.

D

Surfaces & furniture

Floor finishes, tiles, deck and rug surfaces layer under walls. Live-added furniture clamps to rooms or stays freestanding for outdoor placement.

02 · The Desk3D Review

Walk itbeforeyou build it.

Every 2D edit appears in 3D in real time. WebGL renderer with shadows, materials, dark mode, free-flight camera and screenshot-quality output for thumbnails, presentations and client previews.

Live model. Every wall, every frame.

Every 2D edit appears in 3D within a frame. WebGL renderer with shadows, materials, dark mode, free-flight camera and screenshot-quality output for thumbnails, presentations and client previews.

A

Real-time sync

Plan2D draft and 3D solid share a single source of truth. Authoritative refresh after open, save and view-switch eliminates stale state.

B

Materials

Gablok blocks, plaster, render, brick, timber, glass and metal. Dark-mode palette and global icon set for night-time review.

C

Camera

Free-flight WASD camera, keyboard nudge with exact translation, zoom-safe floor prevention and pointer routing shared between views.

D

Renders

4K WebGL screenshots routed to project thumbnails, gallery and presentation surfaces. Stale-3D recovery guards a blank canvas on switch.

03 · The DeskElevations & Drawings

Buildergradeexports.

A 30-page coordinated construction pack — cover, floor plans, dimensioned plans, four-side elevations, sections and site services — generated from your live model, not redrawn after the fact.

03 · Detail · Elevations & Drawings

A 30-page coordinated construction pack.

Cover, floor plans, dimensioned plans, four-side elevations, sections and site services — generated from your live model, not redrawn after the fact. Builder-grade exports your structural engineer and council will accept.

A

Coordinated sheets

Cover, ground floor, upper floors, four-side elevations, sections and site services. Live capture, not redrawn after the fact.

B

Dimensions

Overall, room and opening dimensions auto-place with overlap detection. Edge normalization keeps door spans tight to wall axes.

C

Exports

Builder-grade DXF and DWG via ODA File Converter, plus PDF for review. Live-capture timeout and runtime port pinned for production.

D

Live preview

Modal preview shows placeholder pages and final layout while the export warms — no blank screens, no surprises at print.

04 · The DeskAI Visualisation

Photoreal,from asketch.

Send the live 2D plan and a managed prompt to your preferred model — DeepSeek, OpenAI or Stanton-managed credits. A reference cache makes each render iterate, not repeat.

04 · Detail · AI Visualisation

Photoreal renders from a live plan.

Send the live 2D draft and a managed prompt to your preferred model — DeepSeek, OpenAI or Stanton-managed credits. A reference cache makes each render iterate, not repeat.

A

Provider choice

DeepSeek, OpenAI and Stanton-managed credits side by side. Pick a model per render or per project, switch without losing your prompt.

B

Managed prompt

Plan2D draft is translated into a camera and room-aware prompt with a reference cache, so iteration sharpens instead of resetting.

C

Project-scoped gallery

Renders attach to a project, never a global inventory, so client sets stay separate and stale references stay out of new prompts.

D

Error gating

Stanton-managed errors surface with provider branding and no white fallback, so a hiccup looks like a designed state, not a crash.

05 · The DeskDetailed Pricing

Every line.Everydollar.

Pricing updates with every wall move. Finish level, currency and tax are controls — not assumptions. Site prep and object line items are first-class, so the number you show is the number you build.

05 · Detail · Detailed Pricing

Live pricing, line by line.

Pricing updates with every wall move. Finish level, currency and tax are controls — not assumptions baked into a spreadsheet. Site prep and object line items are first-class so the number you show is the number you build.

A

Money table

Aligned columns for quantity, rate and total. Currency and tax are controls, not assumptions buried in a spreadsheet.

B

Finish levels

Toggle finish tier per project. Pricing updates the moment a wall, opening, fixture or surface changes.

C

Site prep

Cut, fill, slab and services are first-class line items, not buried sub-totals. Builders quote without a separate civil sheet.

D

Object line items

Every appliance, fixture and module flows through to its own row, with an optional pricing breakdown report.

Realtime presence, shared projects, view-only client links, versioned history, offsite backups and an admin overview for studios running many projects at once.

A studio platform, not a single-seat tool.

Realtime presence, shared projects, view-only client links, versioned history, offsite backups and an admin overview for studios running many projects at once.

A

Realtime presence

See who is in a project, on what floor, at what zoom. Co-edit safe via authoritative save and shared realtime state.

B

Client share

View-only links for clients. They walk the 3D, scroll the elevations and the price, without touching the model.

C

Versioned history

Snapshot timeline with adaptive cap; restore to any prior version with furniture, opening and surface recovery.

D

Studio admin

Admin overview across users and projects, credit reporting, deferred data loader so the panel stays responsive at scale.

Save weeks. Recover margin.

Every change in the Desk re-prices the whole project. Builders move from enquiry to a priced, visualised concept in days — not the six weeks legacy spreadsheet workflows demand.

Days to first priced concept

−85% turnaround

From 42 days on average to 4. The brief, the model and the price live in the same file.
