Draft, design, and model in one.

The ease of SketchUp with the depth of Vectorworks — built for live events first, then architecture and full studio 3D.

Who it’s for

One product. Three practices.

Events & entertainment ships first. Architecture and studio modelling ride the same engine — add a layer when you need it.

Venue drafting still — stage, seating, and truss in quiet graphite

Live events

Venue plans, stage plots, seating and egress checks, rigging reports, and pick lists — designed for touring and production teams.

Architecture plan still — storey walls and openings

Architecture

Walls, doors, windows, slabs, stairs, storeys, and sections — a first architecture slice on the same file, not a separate product.

Studio solids still — isometric model blocks

Studio 3D

Push/pull solids, Boolean ops, and constraint solving in a native Windows viewport — trial unlocks the full Studio layer.

Product layers

Compare the layers.

One product, four licences — Core, Events, Architecture, Studio. Events ships first. Architecture is a peer on Core. Trial unlocks full Studio. Prices load live from the Ops Hub; if a price is not set, you see “—”.

Layer 01

Core

2D drafting, snaps, dimensions, and the command line — the foundation every layer sits on.

Native DWG waits on ODA membership before public launch — exchange as DXF until then. Trial = full Studio; when it ends the app stays view-only. . Buy or start a trial.

Inside the app

A real Windows drafting surface.

Tools and Events side by side. wgpu viewport. Typed precision input. Familiar command-line workflow — without the bloat of a browser shell.

Draftworks Tools panel and 3D viewport

How it works

Installer to draft table.

Native Windows setup.exe. Trial runs as full Studio. When the trial ends, the file stays open — view only until you activate.

  1. 1

    Download setup.exe

    NSIS installer for Windows 10/11. No MSI, no Electron runtime.

  2. 2

    Draft with a full Studio trial

    Import DXF, build venues, model solids. DWG via ODA is planned before public launch — until then, exchange through DXF.
