I've tried the new Fix Room function twice now, and in both cases it actually made the architectural issues in the initial AI design worse.

Example 1

In this case I wanted to check what a particular side table would look like next to an armchair that fills out an otherwise-awkward spot in my formal living/dining room. The pictures attached are the original room photo, the initial AI output, and the result of applying Fix Room.

Original Room

The original room photo was taken looking across the living room area, back towards a walkway that wraps around from the entryway (out of frame to the left), past the formal areas and staircase (middle background of this photo), and on into the family/meals/kitchen area (far right background).

The living/dining area is separated from the walkway and entrance by pony wall sections and a series of narrow wall "columns" where the upper floor is supported. The living/dining area has three large openings to the walkway, one of which is angled. The walkway has both straight and angled sections, with a wider area at the base of the stairs.

The armchair in question sits in front of a column where an angled area meets a straight area, i.e. the column consists of two narrow sections of wall meeting at an angle. Behind it is the walkway, then you have the far wall of the walkway, and rooms beyond that.

The formal rooms have floating timber floors, while the entryway, walkway and kitchen have white tile.

To a human, I think the flooring changes and ceiling features including cornices and shadows make it clear that the armchair sits in front of a column with some open space behind it, and not directly against a continuous wall.

Initial AI Output

In the initial AI output, the walkway has been deleted. The far wall of the walkway has been brought forward to be a wall of the living area, which causes quite an odd configuration where the wider area around the stairs is.

There are a few other issues, such as:

• Significant horizontal compression, probably due to the aspect ratio of the original room photo.

• An area on the large artwork being turned into a clock.

• A sofa arm in the right foreground being changed to a seat of some kind. (The sofas have big chunky arms which probably contributed to the misidentification.)

The main problem here was deletion of the walkway and resulting addition of a straight-walled area that does not exist, so I thought I'd give Fix Room a go.

Fix Room Output

Fix Room didn't correct the walkway deletion or the non-existent straight wall. While it did produce an angle-walled column like the original photo, it ADDED that beside the existing AI-generated straight column with the rather bizarre result you can see in the pic below. That also caused a variety of weird artifacts where the tops of the columns converge and a(nother) non-existent wall from the initial AI output is attempted to be merged to the added column.

Fix Room also added a second armchair next to the one from the initial AI output. The second armchair is quite accurate, but it needed to replace the incorrect one from the initial attempt instead of being add to it (the same issue with the columns).

The sofa running along the left wall is now at a strange angle that intersects the coffee table instead of being parallel to it.

The main issues in both the initial AI output and the Fix Room results seem to be:

• Shortcomings in “depth perception” / failure to detect the walkway.

• Attempting to straighten out walls and other features that really are set at angles in real life.

Example 2

This is a much simpler case, and it was actually the first time I tried the Fix Room function. I thought it was an isolated aberration but after today's peculiarities I thought I'd post details of it too.

This case was one of many attempts to visualise different configurations for my entryway, which definitely needs an overhaul. (And to be vacuumed too, in the original pic! :D)

Original Room

The original photo was taken when approaching the entryway from what is effectively the side, via a walkway that wraps around and is open to the formal living areas of the house. This covers the main internal view: you can see the top of the entryway and the picture currently on the wall from much of the ground floor (it’s quite open with relatively few walls).

When entering the front door, which is on the right side of the original pic, you see a pony wall at the back of the entryway and a lot of the ground floor behind it, in particular the formal living/dining area which is directly on the other side of the pony wall.

The pony wall needs something in front of it because the view from the front door is really ugly when it's blank. But there a various things that could be put there, and a whole lot of leeway on what happens with what I call the artwork wall.

Initial AI Output

In the initial AI output the room had been noticeably widened, so I thought I'd see if Fix Room would restore the initial proportions.

Fix Room Output

Fix Room didn't correct the room's proportions, but instead added a door on the right side of the artwork wall (with a room behind that, and an area opening to the garden).

I don't know where the new door came from, particularly as the AI left the proper front door in place. (If it was an attempt to correct the location of the front door, why was the supposedly-incorrect one retained?)

I gave Fix Room another go but it didn't change from this configuration.
