This guide explains how to use Enhance with AI to export your current view using AI image generation technology. This feature uses AI image generation models to enhance images directly within cmBuilder. You can choose from pre-written prompt templates or write your own for more creative control. 

💡Note: An Admin must enable AI image generation before you can use Enhance with AI. See Instructions to Activate AI Image Enhancement for details.

💡Note: This feature is currently in Beta (testing) while we refine it. Although the AI will generally enhance your image, it may also produce questionable results. While in Beta, the feature is included in Premium and Enterprise subscriptions. In the future, we may introduce usage limits or it may become a paid add-on.

How to use Enhance with AI

Enhance with AI is available within the Current View image export feature. To use Current View and Enhance with AI, first position your 3D view so that everything you wish to include in the final image is within frame (1). Consider hiding the Scenario Tree (2) to see the full picture.

💡Note: Resizing the browser window will affect the image aspect ratio. 

1. Click the blue Export/Share button (3) in the upper-right corner of a Scenario. From the side sheet that appears click Current view (4). Select Enhance with AI from the side sheet on the right. The side sheet will expand to display the Input image, and a prompt field.
   💡 Note: If Enhance with AI is greyed out, the AI image generation integration may not be enabled. Contact an Admin to enable it under Company settings > Integrations > Enable AI image generation.

2. Prompts describe how you want to transform the input image. From the Prompt templates dropdown (1), choose a pre-built template. Click in the Prompt field (2) to modify it if needed. Select an AI model from the model dropdown beside the Generate button. Available models include Gemini 2.5, Gemini 3.1, and Grok Imagine 2.0. Finalize your prompt, then click Generate (3). After a few moments, four variations will appear in the area (4) below the input image.

   • When you change Prompt templates, the text in the prompt field will instantly update to suit.
   • Select Custom from the dropdown if you want to write your own prompt in the prompt field.

💡Note: Prompts and images are processed by the selected AI model provider. Refer to the AI Models Data Usage article for details on how your data is handled.

3. Review the four AI-generated variants.

   • Click on a variant (1) to compare it with the original Input image.

   • When comparing the input image VS AI-generated variants, move the slider (2) left or right.

• Click Expand (3 above) to open a larger preview viewer (4 below). The slider (2) is again available to compare the input image with the selected variant. Use the side buttons to cycle through variants (5). 

1. The AI may enhance your image or produce questionable results that can be modified. Hover over a variant card to display the Regenerate button (1). This function uses the variant as an input and reapplies the prompt to produce a new set of variants, refining the output. You may edit the prompt (2) before clicking Generate (3) to regenerate the images. Click Cancel to select a different variant.

5. When satisfied with the result(s) click the Download button (1) to save the selected variant, or hover your a variant card to display its Download button (2).  

6. When finished, click the Done button (3 above) in the footer to close the Enhance with AI feature. 

Tips on customizing a prompt

1. Ensure you prompt matches what you are working on, otherwise it will try to replace the image.
   • For example: Using a Completed Construction prompt on a half-finished site will either try to add a building, or replace the image entirely.
2. The AI model is particularly effective at adding or removing elements. For example, you can use prompts such as “remove trees around the building.
