2D CAD for architects and architectural technicians
Measure and draw on site, check a layout on your phone in a meeting, and send a clean 1:50 PDF — without opening a desktop CAD licence.
START DRAWING — FREEPlans, sections and elevations
Draw walls at real thickness with offset, add doors and windows that sit in the wall, and build sections layer by layer. See drawing a section or elevation.
Materials at real scale
27 hatch patterns, including brick, blockwork, insulation, rigid insulation, concrete, timber, hardcore and earth, sized in millimetres so they print true.
Areas done for you
Room labels show each room's floor area automatically; the area tool measures any closed shape.
Sheets at 1:50 and 1:100
The print-ready sheet lays out A4, A3 or A2 with a title block, scale bar and north arrow. Text can keep its size on paper at any scale.
Works with your office CAD
Import and export DXF to move drawings to and from AutoCAD, Vectorworks or ArchiCAD.
