Working with Custom Geometry in BIM? It Just Got Easier

Architects love Rhino for a reason. It’s fast, flexible, and incredibly powerful when it comes to handling freeform or custom geometry. From curving façades to parametric pavilions, Rhino gives you total creative freedom.

But when it comes time to transition from concept to construction, things get tricky. Rhino doesn’t play well with BIM. And most BIM platforms don’t handle complex geometry easily.

This leaves architects stuck, either remodeling everything from scratch, or stitching together disconnected workflows between design and documentation.

Snaptrude Changes That

Snaptrude now supports direct Rhino (.3dm) imports, and it’s built to preserve the geometry that makes your designs unique.

No more rebuilding forms in Revit or dealing with geometry errors during import. Snaptrude lets you bring in custom-designed elements from Rhino, and continue your work in a unified, cloud-based BIM environment.

So you can go from:
- Freeform design in Rhino
- To structured modeling in Snaptrude
- Without losing hours (or the soul of your concept)

From Form to Function, Seamlessly

Here’s how Snaptrude helps bridge the gap:
- Import .3dm files with geometry intact
- Assign BIM properties to Rhino objects post-import
- Combine Rhino’s form-making power with Snaptrude’s BIM capabilities
- Generate documentation and collaborate with your team, all in one place

Whether you’re designing a sculptural roof, parametric facade, or anything in between, Snaptrude lets you keep your geometry and move straight into planning.

Why This Matters for Architects and Design Firms

This isn’t just about convenience. It’s about reclaiming workflow control.

With Snaptrude, your Rhino models are no longer locked out of BIM. You can:

• Integrate computationally designed building blocks from Rhino into Snaptrude during early concept design
  
  
• Import complex, presentation-grade geometry without having to remodel
  
  
• Continue detailing and presenting within Snaptrude, with no tool-switching or loss of fidelity

Architects shouldn’t have to sacrifice creativity for compliance, or redo work just to meet BIM standards. Snaptrude ensures your design intent flows from concept to delivery, smoothly and intelligently.

It’s the fastest way to go from organic form to real-world function.

Snaptrude Is Built for Design-Led Architecture

At Snaptrude, we believe tools should never slow down vision. That’s why we built a platform that welcomes design-heavy, parametric, and custom-geometry workflows.

Now, whether you’re modeling in Rhino, collaborating in the cloud, or planning for construction — Snaptrude gives you one space to bring it all together.
