Snaptrude

Open a new site, drop in the brief, and start shaping the building—fast. Snaptrude lets you sketch footprints, push and pull volumes, and assign floor counts and heights with precision. Import a site map or terrain, set setbacks, and align to north to understand context early. As you adjust blocks, areas update live against your targets, helping you test FAR and program fit without spreadsheets. Toggle zoning studies, carve cores, and lay out preliminary units or office bays. Use the sun track and shadow controls to evaluate daylight and shade at different times of day and seasons, and capture quick diagrams for internal reviews or feasibility packets.

When you’re ready to workshop with stakeholders, duplicate alternatives and share a link. Teammates and clients can view, comment, and mark up from a laptop or tablet—no installs needed. Pin comments to specific rooms or facades, resolve threads, and keep an audit trail of decisions. Present options side-by-side, switch materials and facade patterns instantly, and walk through the model in-browser. Use the timeline slider to show how morning and afternoon shadows affect courtyards, podiums, or terraces. Export snapshots and short animations for presentations without leaving the model space.

Move from concept to layout by switching into planning mode. Drop in room templates and furniture sets to build out apartments, office neighborhoods, or retail bays. Doors, windows, and partitions snap to rules, so you can iterate quickly while staying accurate. Quantities and metrics—net usable, gross, ratios, fixture counts—update automatically. Generate takeoffs for fit‑outs and a bill of quantities in a click, then export schedules for cost review. Produce color-coded area diagrams and room data sheets to align teams before detailed documentation begins.

For handoff, connect your workflow to the tools you already use. Import and export with Rhino, AutoCAD, Revit, and SketchUp to continue detailing, coordinate with consultants, or generate construction documents. Maintain geometry fidelity and BIM properties as you move between platforms to avoid rework. Start with a trial to explore the core toolset, and reach out through the website for advanced capabilities, onboarding, and team licensing.
