Common Errors:
1. Webui-user.bat freezing during installation? You may have accidentally clicked inside the black window and paused it simply click again inside the black window to unpause it. It does take a long time to load so give it at least an hour before troubleshooting.
2. Error message "Torch is not able to use GPU; add --skip-torch-cuda-test to COMMANDLINE_ARGS variable to disable this check". Open the notepad program, click file, click open, click file type and change it to all files, navigate to the AI folder where webui-user.bat is located, and open it, in the line that says COMMANDLINE_ARGS= type it so it says this "COMMANDLINE_ARGS= --lowvram --precision full --no-half --skip-torch-cuda-test". Save the file then try to reopen webui-user.bat.

As someone who understands very little about this topic, this video was an amazing tutorial. Thank you! It should be said though that if your computer doesn't have a Nvidia branded GPU, your computer will not generate images from sketches within a decent amount of time. After following this tutorial and spending about 10 solid hours playing with stable diffusion and researching how to get SD to generate one image in less than 45 minutes, the only solution I can find is that you either have to pay for Google Collab, or update the computer's GPU. If anyone can provide me with information proving this research wrong - I'd love that and be sincerely grateful. As of now I believe: if you're like me and wanted to use stable diffusion to create architectural renders for free with a basic intel GPU laptop - it won't happen. More likely you'll have to spend your money on Midjourney.

[@kstrix]

great tutorial, can't wait to use it! having trouble getting past the Stable Diffusion "install from URL" at 7:08. you said it might take a lot of time - i've been processing for 8 hours or so - should i keep waiting?

[@altArchitecture]

Were you able to resolve your issue?

[@johnbell1809]

Super awesome tutorial. Easy to follow. I pasted the Scribble Model into the model's folder, but I don't seem to have any files in there whereas you have a ton of files in there. Also, have it processing an image but it's taking about 20 minutes for one image. Is this correct?

[@altArchitecture]

It's okay. I have more models to use in SD. Remember when you downloaded the scribble model? on that same page are a long list of other models you can try out. There's a lot of tuts online for them but in my opinion the scribble model is the most useful for arch at the moment. My computer is decently fast so that could be why its processing quickly.

[@DanielThiele]

Do you have a workflow tutorial, or are you interested in making one, that also generates orthogonal views / model sheets from the initial sketch? I know there is things like char turner but so far it alsways works based on text input only.

[@NYCgoblue]

May I ask why you chose 1.5 over 2 and XL?

[@SantiagoPeraza-nu6gm]

Is it possible to do this with midjourney? thanks!

[@rafael_tg]

Hello. Thanks for the video. Which models would be good for image to image, e.g. input=empty room -> output=same room with furniture and decoration or input=photo of my living room -> output=redesign of my living room with new furniture and decoration?

[@altArchitecture]

I’d have to go with empty room > room with furniture. The input with just bare walls, floors, windows, etc will make a better canvas to be populated.

[@Helena-vv6rz]

Hi, thanks for the video, I watched this and your Midjourney one. So is the essential difference between stable diffusion and midjourney, that when starting from a 3d sketch, stable diffusion will retain the original geometry, spatial parameters and contents (eg. furniture) and render it, where as if you upload the same 3d sketch to midjourney it will use the image as guide and reimagine the spatial parameters and contents? or is there a midjourney prompt that will ask it to retain the spatial parameters of the sketch? thanks

[@altArchitecture]

Hi Helena, that’s a really good analysis and your pretty correct. At the moment Midjourney isn’t as precise as stable diffusion in getting exactly what you want, but in my opinion it can produce very inspiring images quickly and easily.

[@Helena21165]

Ok thanks. Guess I need to dive into stable diffusion then! Midjourney looked easier so I started there 😂

[@kaanbekaroglu3225]

can you also make a lumion + mid journey/stable diffusion workflow video?

[@altArchitecture]

This is a great idea. If you render out a Lumion scene in all white/studio then import into stable diffusion you can practically create a render from your own 3D model.

[@Range_Development_Services]

@altarch when I click batch, I get a runtime error not able to use GPU...thoughts?

[@baljitkaur2973]

I got through all the steps but unfortunatly when I went to generate some images I got this error message. FileNotFoundError: [WinError 3] The system cannot find the path specified: ''

[@baljitkaur2973]

Does stable diffusion with control net only work with nvidia?

Not working. NansException: A tensor with all NaNs was produced in Unet. This could be either because there's not enough precision to represent the picture, or because your video card does not support half type. Try setting the "Upcast cross attention layer to float32" option in Settings > Stable Diffusion or using the --no-half commandline argument to fix this. Use --disable-nan-check commandline argument to disable this check.

[@mustafakuvel7674]

are you still using ? i succesfuly downloaded but not able to generate any image yet

Correction: I fixed the first error. Now I'm receiving the following: 'NansException: A tensor with all NaNs was produced in Unet.

I found a possible fix online. Please report back if it doesnt fix your problem. Its a lesser known bug with SD. Right click the web.ui-user file and select edit. Change the line from "set COMMANDLINE_ARGS=" to be "set COMMANDLINE_ARGS=--medvram"

[@ykaanozyurt]

Thank you for your attention; when i open the file with wordpad, there is no exact line that you mentioned. Could "export COMMANDLINE_ARGS="--medvram" need to be change at this situation? Or do i need to add the exact line to the file?@@altArchitecture
