Excel .xlsx
The workbook’s first sheet. Columns are found by their usual names — unit, number, status, price — in English or Ukrainian; older sheets in Russian are understood too.
Import and export
Formats: what Budvid turns into 3D and what it gives back
Drawings from any CAD program, a PDF, a scan or a photo of a floor plan go in. A 3D model for Blender and 3ds Max, AR on an iPhone, photoreal images and units for Excel and your CRM come out. All in the browser, nothing to install.

Drawings → a 3D presentation
On the Drawings → 3D page: upload a floor plan, trace the block and the flats — or let the AI do it — and get a 3D presentation of the building with a sales chart and buyers’ requests.
FormatFromWhat happens
DXF .dxf
AutoCAD, ArchiCAD, Revit, BricsCAD, DraftSight, LibreCAD, FreeCAD — “File → Save As → DXF”
The drawing is drawn in the browser: lines, polylines with arcs, circles, texts and blocks — doors, furniture, dimensions. The scale comes from the file (millimetres, centimetres, metres, inches or feet), so there is nothing to measure. Hidden and frozen layers are left out. Text (ASCII) DXF works — that is how most programs save it.
DWG .dwg
AutoCAD
AutoCAD’s closed format. Save the same file as DXF in your CAD program — nothing in the drawing changes. Without a CAD program, the free ODA File Converter turns DWG into DXF.
PDF .pdf
A CAD export, an architect’s plan, a brochure page, a scan
Any page of a multi-page file. The scale comes from one known length — say, a wall marked “6000”.
Photos and scans JPG · PNG · WebP
A phone photo of a paper plan, a scan, a screenshot from a listing portal
A plan shot at an angle is straightened by the sheet’s four corners. HEIC from an iPhone opens in Safari; in other browsers save the photo as JPG.
The AI reads all of these the same way: it traces the block, the flats, the stairs and the rooms in about a minute, and you check and correct. DXF hatches and splines are not drawn — walls and flats don’t need them.
The sales chart: Excel and CSV
No retyping prices and statuses: upload the spreadsheet you already keep, and the chart on the facade updates.
CSV .csv
Commas, semicolons or tabs — however Excel saves it in your language. UTF-8; the files Budvid gives back open in Excel with Cyrillic intact.
The way people write
A flat is found by “Flat 12”, “Apt. 12” or just “12”. Statuses: available, reserved, sold (and their Ukrainian words). Prices: “€ 81,000”, “81 000,00”, “81000”.
Currency
Euros, dollars or hryvnias — chosen in the profile and used for every price in presentations, the sales chart and the catalogue.
Exporting the 3D model and data
From the 3D builder the building goes into the programs people already use — for a visualiser, ads, AR or a CRM.
FormatOpen it inWhat’s inside
GLB glTF 2.0
Blender, Unreal Engine, Unity, three.js, 3D viewers in Windows and in the browser
The building with its materials and textures in one file — the 3D standard for the web and game engines.
USDZ AR
iPhone and iPad — AR Quick Look
Augmented reality: the building stands on a table or on its plot, to scale. Nothing to install.
OBJ .obj
3ds Max, Cinema 4D, Rhino, Blender
Geometry for a visualiser to refine and render.
PNG photoreal
Ads, listing portals, brochures, social media
The “Photoreal” button renders the same view with true daylight, soft shadows and reflections in the windows — and saves it as an image.
CSV · JSON units
Excel, Google Sheets, a CRM, a website
Every unit: floor, rooms, area, price, status. Requests and the sales chart download from the cabinet the same way.
Publishing and integrations
A link
A published presentation lives at budvid.com/p/name — send it to buyers in any messenger, and the preview shows your own building.
Embed code
One <iframe> puts the 3D presentation with its request form on your website — WordPress, Tilda, Webflow or any site builder.
An agency catalogue
Every published property on one page at budvid.com/a/name — with prices, available units and a request form.
Telegram and CRM
Requests reach Telegram in seconds, and any CRM by webhook: JSON signed with HMAC-SHA256, with a delivery log.
Questions about formats
How do I turn a DXF drawing into 3D online?
Open Drawings → 3D and upload the .dxf file. The drawing is drawn at the scale stored in the file, so there is nothing to measure. Trace the block and the flats by hand or press “Trace automatically (AI)” — and you have a 3D presentation of the building with its sales chart.
Can I upload a DWG file?
DWG is AutoCAD’s closed format. Save the same drawing as DXF in your CAD program (File → Save As → DXF): nothing in the drawing changes. Without a CAD program, the free ODA File Converter turns DWG into DXF.
How do I make 3D from a PDF or a photo of a floor plan?
Upload a PDF (any page) or a photo or scan of the plan. A photo taken at an angle is straightened by the sheet’s four corners; the scale comes from one known length, such as a 6 m wall. Then the AI traces the block, the flats and the rooms in about a minute.
How do I import a sales chart from Excel?
In the cabinet, on the “Sales chart” tab, press “Load from Excel or CSV”. It takes an .xlsx file (the first sheet) or a .csv separated by commas, semicolons or tabs. Columns are found by their usual names — unit, status, price; statuses such as available, reserved, sold; prices like “€ 81,000” or “81000”.
How do I open the building’s 3D model in Blender or 3ds Max?
In the 3D builder, save the model as GLB (glTF 2.0) — Blender, Unreal Engine, Unity and online viewers open it — or as OBJ for 3ds Max, Cinema 4D and Rhino.
How do I show a building in augmented reality on an iPhone?
Save the model as USDZ and open the file on an iPhone or iPad: AR Quick Look places the building on a table or on its plot, to scale. Nothing to install.
