Snaptrude
Browser-based building design and BIM platform for architects.
What Snaptrude does
Browser-based building design and BIM platform for architects. The new Snaptrude Agent (29 Oct 2026) takes a brief or site, shows its plan for approval, generates massing options and layouts, converts them to detailed BIM models with structure and MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing), drafts construction drawings to a firm's standards, and exports to Revit while keeping existing families.
Good for
- Architects: generate and compare many massing options from a site analysis
- Turn a concept into a detailed BIM model and drawing set for review
- Start from existing Revit, Rhino or SketchUp models
Try this in 10 minutes
- Architects: generate and compare many massing options from a site analysis. Use the free plan: pick one real example from your own business and try just that.
- Turn a concept into a detailed BIM model and drawing set for review. Put the result next to how you do it today. Is it faster, cheaper or better?
- Start from existing Revit, Rhino or SketchUp models. Note what you had to fix by hand before you'd show it to a customer.
