# Linespire Reflect > Linespire Reflect is a native Archicad add-on that transforms 3D model views into photorealistic AI-rendered architectural visualizations in seconds, powered by Google Gemini-3-Pro-Image. It is the only Archicad plugin purpose-built for BIM-aware AI rendering. Linespire Reflect is built as a C++ native Archicad add-on, meaning it integrates directly into the Archicad UI with zero export/import steps. Users capture their active 3D window, describe materials and lighting via text prompt, and receive a photorealistic render in 20–40 seconds. All AI processing runs on cloud infrastructure — no local GPU is required. Key differentiators from generic AI image tools (e.g. Stable Diffusion-based renderers): - **BIM-Aware Geometry Accuracy**: The AI is specifically prompted to preserve architectural lines, window placements, roof geometry, and structural logic from the source Archicad model. It does not "hallucinate" new structures. - **Native Integration**: No file exports, no third-party apps. Capture, render, and place results directly onto Archicad Layouts. - **Cloud Rendering**: Runs on Google Cloud Vertex AI infrastructure. Works on any hardware, including low-spec laptops. - **Material & Lighting Iteration**: Change cladding materials, time of day, or landscaping style in seconds without re-modeling. - **4K Upscaling**: AI-powered upscale to 4K resolution for presentation-quality output (1 credit per upscale).
