Edit rendered images

Last updated: July 6, 2026

After generating a render, you can refine or adjust it in three ways: prompt-only edits, targeted selection edits, and image reference edits.


Accessing the edit tools

To enter edit mode:

  1. Click on a rendered image on the board

  2. Select the Edit option in the toolbar

Edit with prompt only

Prompt-only editing works best when you want to change something that affects the entire design uniformly — for example:

  • Change the entire facade to Corten steel

  • Change all windows to square windows

  • Make the exterior timber cladding

This approach is most effective for broad, global changes.

Click on the rendered image and enter edit mode. Click the prompt button to start typing your prompt:

Result from the above example:

Edit with selection (lasso) and prompt

For targeted changes, use the Lasso tool to select a specific region of the image, then write a prompt describing the change you want in that region.

Start by selecting the image you want to modify, and select the Image Editing button.

Sketch the area you would like to edit, then type in the prompt what you would like to edit about the sketched area.

Image reference edits

Use up to 14 reference images to guide material, texture, lighting, or atmosphere changes — handy for trying a specific finish, fabric, or mood taken from another image. Select your reference image(s) together with the rendered image (up to 14 references), then write a prompt that refers to them by number — for example, Apply the texture from image2 to the wall on the right in image1. This works best on an already-rendered image rather than a raw model view.
