Properties
Properties are the foundation of Altara. Each property represents a real estate listing with its address, cover photo, and rooms containing original photos.

Create and manage real estate listings with address, photos, and metadata.
Location Mapping
Automatic Google Maps integration for property locations.
Photo Management
Upload and organize property photos with drag-and-drop.
Room Organization
Add rooms with types and photos for AI processing.

Property Views

Managing Rooms
Each property can have multiple rooms. Rooms store the original photos that will be used for AI processing.
- Bulk Upload: Upload entire property photo sets at once to save time
- Instant availability: Rooms and photos appear immediately so you can start working while uploads finish in the background
- Room types (Living Room, Kitchen, etc.) — help guide the AI design logic
- Room dimensions (Length x Width) — helps AI scale furniture realistically
- DRAFT Status: Newly added rooms are in Draft until photos are confirmed
- QUEUED Status: Rooms waiting for AI cleaning processing
- AI automatically cleans the photo (removes furniture) — costs 1 credit
AI Cleaning
When you upload a room photo, AI automatically removes visual clutter (furniture, decorations) to create a clean base. Our cleaning engine is built for resilience and high fidelity.
Tasks are queued and processed asynchronously to ensure server stability
AI removes furniture. We use exponential backoff retries to guarantee success even during high traffic
Draw on areas AI missed to guide cleanup — free, no credit cost
Note: AI renovation renders are generated and managed within Projects, not at the property level. This lets you create different renovation variations for different client engagements.
Pro Tip
For best AI results, use well-lit photos with standard aspect ratios (16:9, 4:3, 3:2, 1:1, and their portrait equivalents). Try to capture 3 walls for better structural integrity and depth, and avoid panoramic photos or 0.5x ultra-wide zoom.
