# Video tutorials

Watch Synaps video tutorials for CAD drafting, sketch tracing, AI floor plans and interior renders, with short summaries and links to each section.

Watch a complete design workflow or choose a focused tutorial. Each video has a short section summary with timestamps, so you can jump straight to the part you need.

## Start here

[From AutoCAD to Synaps: drafting and rendering](/video-tutorials/autocad-to-synaps.md) is a broad introduction to tracing, generation, manual drafting and visuals. For a longer project walkthrough, choose [Complete architecture project](/video-tutorials/complete-architecture-project.md).

## Short tool demonstrations

Use the written tool guides when you want to complete one action: [Line](/drafting/draw-a-line.md), [Polyline](/drafting/draw-a-polyline.md), [Rectangle](/drafting/draw-a-rectangle.md), [Circle or arc](/drafting/draw-a-circle-or-arc.md), and [Wall](/drafting/draw-a-wall.md). Each linked guide includes short video demonstrations beside its instructions, including numeric-input examples.

## Find a workflow by your starting point

* **You have a sketch or scan:** start with [Sketch to CAD](/video-tutorials/sketch-to-cad-tracing.md), then follow [Turn a scan into an editable drawing](/ai-workflows/scan-to-editable-drawing.md).
* **You have a brief and a footprint:** watch [AI floor plan generation](/video-tutorials/ai-floor-plan-generation.md), then follow [Turn a brief into an editable plan](/ai-workflows/brief-to-editable-plan.md).
* **You have an editable plan and want visuals:** watch [From a floor plan to renders and image edits](/video-tutorials/floor-plan-to-render.md), then follow [Create an interior render](/ai-and-automation/create-an-interior-render.md).
