man that is so laughable.

I'm sure you and your wife need a 300 cubic foot fridge, you just don't know it yet.

Actually we have 43 cubic feet of refrigerator and 42 cubic feet of freezer here (no icemaker, that's a separate undercounter unit) and we're looking for ways to increase that without increasing floor space.

That's a common setup and relatively inexpensive, though you have about twice what I would consider "normal". But in a residential setting a large walk-in box isn't really going to help. You can't store meat and vegetables in the fridge for weeks at a time. If you're buying beef by the side, a chest freezer will easily do the job.
A home walk-in is just a cool gadget for people with tons of disposable income. The only time it would be practical is if you have a very large family. But you're still limited to 5 or 6 days of storage in the fridge.

Where does the information for the parts of the building not in the picture come from? The output contains far more information than the input.

Hallucinations! Although architecture has some pretty standard themes, so you get some reasonably accurate results (outside of Zillow Gone Wild haha)

I see these tools as more for client design communication, as opposed to construction-accurate tools.
