三大核心视图:
- 平面图 (Plan View): 从上方俯视建筑水平剖切后的投影,展示房间布局、墙体位置、门窗开口
- 立面图 (Elevation View): 从正前方、侧方等方向观察建筑外观,展示外立面设计、高度关系
- 剖面图 (Section View): 沿垂直面剖切建筑,展示内部空间层高、结构关系、楼板厚度
技术规范:
- 线型标准: 粗线 (0.5-0.7mm) 表示剖切部分,细线 (0.18-0.25mm) 表示投影部分
- 比例尺: 1:50、1:100、1:200 等标准建筑比例
- 标注系统: 尺寸标注、标高标注、材料标注、图纸索引
- 网格系统: 结构轴线编号 (A-Z, 1-99)
Nano Banana Pro Architectural Blueprint Generation Workflow
Step 1: Prepare Reference Images or Concept Descriptions
Nano Banana Pro supports two input methods:
Method 1: Generate Blueprints Based on Reference Images
Upload architectural photos, 3D renderings, or hand-drawn sketches, and AI automatically reverse-engineers them into technical blueprints.
Example Prompt:
Create an orthographic blueprint that describes this building in plan, elevation, and section.
Technical requirements:
- Use strict CAD linework with variable line weights
- Thick lines (0.7mm) for cut elements (walls, ground)
- Thin lines (0.25mm) for projected elements (doors, windows, furniture)
- Include dimensions in meters
- Label "North Elevation" and "Main Entrance"
- Add structural grid lines (A-D, 1-5)
- Use technical architectural font for annotations
- Include scale bar (1:100)
Layout: Grid format with Plan View (top left), Front Elevation (top right), Section A-A (bottom)
Method 2: Generate Blueprints from Pure Text Descriptions
Directly describe architectural design intent in natural language, and AI automatically generates standardized blueprints.
Example Prompt:
Generate an orthographic blueprint for a two-story modern villa.
Building specifications:
- Ground floor: Living room (6m x 8m), Kitchen (4m x 5m), Bathroom (2m x 3m)
- Second floor: Master bedroom (5m x 6m), Two bedrooms (4m x 4m each), Bathroom (2m x 3m)
- Total footprint: 12m x 10m
- Floor height: 3.2m each
- Flat roof with parapet
Blueprint requirements:
- Plan view showing room layout and furniture placement
- North and South elevations showing fenestration
- Section view cutting through main staircase
- Technical line weights and dimension annotations
- Scale 1:100
Key Tips:
- Specify line type requirements: "strict CAD linework" / "variable line weights"
- Designate view types: "plan", "elevation", "section"
- Include dimensional information: room dimensions, floor heights, bay depths
- Annotation requirements: "label", "annotate", "dimension lines"
- Scale: Clearly specify drawing scale (1:50 / 1:100 / 1:200)

Step 2: Call API to Generate Blueprints
Here's a Python code example for calling the Nano Banana Pro API to generate architectural blueprints (via APIYi platform):
import openai
client = openai.OpenAI(
api_key="YOUR_APIYI_KEY",
base_url="https://vip.apiyi.com/v1"
)
response = client.images.generate(
model="gemini-3-pro-image-preview",
prompt="""Create an orthographic blueprint for Neuschwanstein Castle in plan, elevation, and section.
Use professional CAD linework with variable line weights.
Include dimension annotations and scale 1:200.""",
size="2048x2048",
quality="hd"

Step 3: Optimize Line Types and Annotations
Nano Banana Pro supports multi-turn conversational editing for fine-tuning generated blueprints:
Common Optimization Needs:
-
Adjust Line Weights
Make the wall lines thicker (0.9mm) and furniture lines lighter (0.15mm) for better contrast -
Add Dimension Annotations
Add dimension lines showing room sizes in meters. Include overall building dimensions (length x width) -
Supplement Section Annotations
In the section view, add floor height annotations (e.g., "FL +0.00", "FL +3.20", "FL +6.40") Add material hatching for concrete walls and indicate insulation layers -
Optimize Grid System
Add structural grid lines labeled A-D (vertical) and 1-5 (horizontal) Show grid spacing dimensions -
Adjust View Layout
Rearrange the layout: Plan view at top, Front and Rear elevations in middle row, Section A-A at bottom Align all views to the same baseline for consistency
Professional Tips:
- Use architectural terminology like "hatch", "baseline", "grid spacing" to improve precision
- Specify exact line width values (e.g., 0.7mm, 0.25mm) instead of "thick/thin"
- Reference standard drawing specifications (e.g., GB/T 50104-2010 Architectural Drawing Standards)
Step 4: Export and Post-Processing
Generated blueprints can be directly used for:
- Design Proposals: Concept drawings for client presentations
- Construction Reference: Construction guidance drawings for small projects
- Educational Demonstrations: Case studies in architectural education
Post-Processing Recommendations:
- Import to CAD Software: Open PNG in Adobe Illustrator or Inkscape, convert to vector graphics
- Detailed Adjustments: Supplement precise dimensions and material annotations in AutoCAD
- Print Output: 2K resolution suitable for A3 printing, 4K suitable for A1 large format
