AI tracing

How AI mask generation works and what to expect.

How it works

After you mark the paper corners, tracing starts automatically. The image is perspective-corrected and then processed by a local AI model running on our server to generate outlines for each tool.

When tracing goes wrong

The AI handles most tool shapes well, but may struggle with:

  • Very thin tools (e.g. needles, drill bits) — outlines may be incomplete.
  • Transparent or reflective tools — the mask may include reflections.
  • Tools that overlap the paper edge — only the portion on the paper is traced.

If a trace isn't right, you can edit the vertices manually in the tool editor.
