1. Decide what is allowed to change
Freeze the view and list what must remain: floors, openings, structural rhythm and site context. Define the variable under discussion, such as cladding tone or landscape atmosphere. Keep the original model view beside the experiment.
2. Generate a small comparable set
Use Veras or Graphisoft AI Visualizer within the version and access you actually have. Change one major variable at a time. Record input references and prompts. A longer prompt is not evidence that a requirement was respected.
3. Inspect the image as a proposal
Overlay or compare with the source view. Inspect edges, openings and shadow logic. For every geometry discrepancy, either reject it or explicitly adopt it as a design change in the model. Do not allow a persuasive image to become an undocumented specification.
4. Label the communication clearly
Identify generated concept imagery in the presentation. Separate approved design from mood references and unbuilt options. If generated 3D geometry is adopted, add dimensional and object-editability checks before it enters the project model.
Worked review scenario
Illustrative facade review: keep the same window layout and compare a warmer and a cooler cladding direction. If a generation adds balconies, the image fails this material-only exercise unless the team separately authorizes a design change.
When the pilot is ready to accept
Every accepted image preserves agreed geometry or records an approved change.
The presentation states which images are generated concepts.
References and approval notes allow a colleague to explain the image accurately.
