Radiant floor heating from a floor plan: AI draws the sections and loops

Ask Algo to draw radiant floor heating sections from your plan. It prepares a saved draft with the PEX tubing layout inside each section. Review it on the exact story, correct it with Algo or on the canvas, then apply your selection. Sections you already have stay in place.

The whole run is on video - three minutes from an uploaded plan to a finished report. The video shows the metric app; the same steps are written out below.

Prefer to draw the sections yourself? The same project, drawn from scratch, is in the second recording.

1. Choose the floor plan

Ask Algo to draw the radiant floor sections. Name the attached file as the floor plan, or upload it in the radiant floor heating module ("Underfloor heating" in the app). The canvas keeps its page picker for PDF and CAD files.

2. Set the scale

Reliable vector dimensions can set the scale automatically. Otherwise Algo opens the calibration: mark a distance you know and type it - in feet on an imperial account, in centimeters on a metric one. The saved request picks up again afterward.

3. Follow the generation

Algo shows the progress of the saved request. You can leave the conversation and come back to the same draft.

4. Review and correct

Review the sections and the tubing inside them on the plan. Move or reshape an outline, assign its room, adjust the structural exclusions, or ask Algo for a correction. Each section has its own checkbox. Overlapping proposals start unchecked; you can include them.

5. Apply the selected sections

Apply saves exactly the sections you selected and keeps the existing ones. Areas still missing stay marked. A new Apply has no Undo; you can edit or delete the saved sections by hand.

6. Finish the radiant floor design

Place the manifold, draw its supply routes and adjust the design settings - water temperatures, on-center spacing, floor covering - with the module's usual tools. Then check each room's floor output against its heat loss and each loop's length.

The draft does not connect the loops to the manifold, and it does not replace your own review of the design. Older generation receipts that already offered Undo keep their original window.
