Find the materials in your photo

Drop in a reference photo and Conc reads the space surface by surface — floor, wall, ceiling — then finds a material for each one, with the reasoning attached.

You know the moment: you're looking at a reference shot and stop on "what is that floor?" Now you can drop that photo into a conversation.

  • Read surface by surface: A single photo gets read as floor, wall, ceiling, furniture, and openings.

  • Get on the same page first: Before the search starts, you'll see how the photo was read, one line per surface. Carry on as-is, or put it right in a sentence — "the window on the right is a translucent panel" — and it looks again with your name for it.

  • Reasons come with the results: Every surface comes back with materials that suit it and why each one fits, picked so the tones of wall, floor, and furniture don't fight each other.

  • You don't need the right word: Some textures are hard to name. Conc searches by what the photo shows as well, so materials with the same character turn up even when the words miss.

  • See it in a finished space: A name and a swatch don't always tell you enough. When Conc has a space that actually used the material, it comes back alongside the candidate.

  • Carry it over to a board: Surfaces become the board's sections, and the reasoning stays as a note on each material. Even for replies without surfaces — a material close-up, say — everything found can go to a board in one go.

When nothing similar turns up for a surface, it says so, and so does a surface the photo was too unclear to read with confidence. Results stay in the conversation, so they're waiting when you come back. Start with whatever reference is on your desk right now.
