pre-design · moodboards · 3d massing

From a blank site to a 3D form, in the browser.

One project, two surfaces. Build moodboards on a freeform whiteboard, then turn a real site into a conceptual 3D massing — draw solids and voids, study sun and shadow, all without opening BIM.

01 — two surfaces

Two tools, one project

Float between a moodboard and a 3D massing surface anytime. They live in the same file.

Moodboard whiteboard

A real canvas engine for fast concept boards.

  • Drag-and-drop, paste, or upload images
  • Text with font, size, weight and alignment
  • Shapes — rectangles, ellipses, stars, lines, notes
  • Layer, group, duplicate · export to PNG or PDF

3D massing studio

Real site to conceptual form, on a map or in free 3D.

  • Search a site, draw the parcel
  • Your own zoning — setback, floors, FAR, height
  • Draw solids and carve voids with banded cuts
  • Pick, move and rotate blocks with a 3D gizmo
02 — capabilities

Built for the first two design phases

Everything you need before anyone opens a BIM or CAD tool.

Massing on a real map

Vector basemaps with your form extruded in real map context.

Editable map context

Load surrounding buildings from open map data, then edit heights or remove them.

Sun & cast shadows

Drive the sun by date and time, or set height and angle directly.

Real-time 3D

Orbit a free-form model with real cast shadows.

Live metrics & compliance

Footprint, coverage, GFA, FAR and height — colour-coded to limits.

Export & share

Pre-design PDF one-pager, PNG snapshots and read-only links.

03 — workflow

How it works

From idea to shareable study in minutes.

01

Collect the vision

Drop references and notes onto a moodboard to set direction.

02

Shape the form

Switch to 3D, draw the site and massing, then carve solids and voids.

03

Study & share

Check sun, shadow and metrics, then export a PDF or send a link.
