Well perhaps not, but another take on trying to make building design software even simpler. It seems you just draw lines & those lines can be parametrically zapped into building components/elements. Interesting idea I guess for basic quick 3D modelling ! https://www.snaptrude.com/

I don’t find it interesting, it’s another overpriced cad software. I don’t know another 3D modeling software with a price similar to sketchup.

Hi Francisco, The Promo video initially looked interesting, but I’ve now seen some of the video tutorials & in my eyes, wasn’t that intuitive at all & the end results looked sort of cartoon-ish. I didn’t see a price tag !

SketchUp is easily the most intuitive and with a few plugins is also the most powerful.

New ‘CAD’ on the block ! Plasticity - CAD for artists. Plasticity is a 3d modeling and CAD program that is easy to use and has a focus on artistic workflows.

This looks interesting. I’ll have to try it to check if it’s a real competitor.

[image] CJT1963: https://www.plasticity.xyz/ Looks more like a rival to Moi 3D/Rhino than to SU.

It looks like it’s aimed and games/VFX type stuff - for hard surface modelling. Great if you are building robots and runs and spaceships, probably less useful for Architecture.

Yes, it does note its a solid and surface modeling programme for the video game industry & product design. The latter part ‘beyond’ is intriguing, but looks like it won’t be marketed at Architectural market ! I note some modeling programmes like this do cater for the Architectural market as well, s…

I tried already, it’s a nice software but as someone said it’s not made for architecture, it could be a rival for blender or maya, the way of modeling is similar to those softwares, but it lacks of a feature like layout to make documentation, it could work for making some rendering, but blender Cycl…

An SU Rival?
