CadCraft
2D drafting & documentation
Command-line drafting with layers, blocks, dimensions and layouts that plot. Opens and saves DWG and DXF.
The lineup
Each app is named for the work it does, in the words drafters, modelers, estimators and detailers already use. Each app owns one layer color, the way a drawing set gives each discipline its own.
2D drafting & documentation
Command-line drafting with layers, blocks, dimensions and layouts that plot. Opens and saves DWG and DXF.
BIM authoring
Parametric walls, doors and windows on levels and grids, with views, schedules, sheets and clash checks from one model.
3D modeling for design
Fast push/pull modeling with groups, components, guides and inference snapping, for massing and early design.
Drawing review & markup
Open a PDF plan set, mark it up from a saved tool chest, compare revisions and run punch lists with the whole team.
Quantity takeoff & estimating
Calibrated linear, area and count takeoff from PDF plans, with assemblies, cost columns and quantities that export.
Civil & site design
Surfaces from points and breaklines, alignments, profiles, corridors, grading and pipe networks. LandXML in and out.
Steel & rebar detailing
Structural steel members and connections, rebar placement and bending schedules, shop drawings and NC files from one model.
Parametric parts & assemblies
Constrained sketches, feature history, assemblies with joints and drawings with GD&T. STEP in and out.

Principles
Six rules hold for every app in the lineup, the way one title block holds for every sheet in a set.
DWG, DXF, IFC, STEP, PDF and LandXML in and out. Your drawings never need us to open them.
The desktop apps work on local files on your own disk, with no forced cloud. No sign-in and no license check to open a drawing or plot it.
The commands, aliases, layouts and shortcuts you already use do what your hands expect. Productive in the first hour, not the first month.
Every app has a command-line interface, a JSON control channel and an MCP server, so scripts and AI agents can draft, check and plot alongside you.
Compiled for macOS, Windows and Linux on a native geometry kernel, and built to run on an 8 GB laptop, not a workstation. Not a web page in a wrapper, and no browser engine bundled in.
Each app's code goes public under a permissive license when its repository opens. Read it, build it, change it.
WebAssembly builds are planned for most apps, for a quick look at a drawing on a machine you don't own. CivilCraft and DetailCraft start as desktop-only. Saving in the browser comes with a commercial license; drawings are stored encrypted in the cloud. You can always export a copy to your own computer.
