7 years ago we founded Snaptrude on a simple belief: architects deserve tools that move as fast as their ideas. What began as a browser‑based sketching prototype has grown, patiently and persistently into a full‑stack platform used on projects across the globe.

Every milestone, however, felt like groundwork for today’s announcement: Snaptrude 3.0, a truly connected ecosystem for the AEC industry.

From fragments to a living continuum

In early design, silos hurt most. A single scheme can bounce from SketchUp to Rhino to Revit to Excel, consuming 60 – 80 % of billable time dedicated to early stage before the client even sees it. Snaptrude 3.0 unifies those steps into four integrated Modes:

• Program Mode turns the dusty requirements spreadsheet into a live, Excel‑like table linked to the 3D model, with an AI copilot that drafts, interprets, and refines briefs in seconds.
• Design Canvas blends freehand sketching and parametric precision on our proprietary geometry kernel, so pushing a face feels like drawing a line yet instantly recalculates areas, cost, and daylight metrics.
• Present Mode connects a whiteboard‑meets‑slide deck directly to the model, drag in a live view, mark it up together, and one‑click export to PDF or DWG without ever leaving the browser.
• BIM Mode converts conceptual masses into walls, slabs, and native Revit families with a click, eliminating redrawing and preserving data fidelity end‑to‑end.

Since March we have released each Mode every 3 weeks, not as separate products, but as adjoining sections of one continuous runway. The result: data, geometry, and narrative now live in the same file, the same tab, the same moment.

Why a connected ecosystem matters in 2025

25 years after BIM promised a “single source of truth,” project data is still locked in files and plug‑ins. When clients pivot mid‑design, each change triggers an export‑redraw‑reconcile cycle measured in days. In Snaptrude 3.0, moving a space instantly updates schedules, views, and sheets, turning rework into real‑time iteration and restoring the creative momentum traditional BIM squanders.

Open by design

No firm flips its toolchain overnight. Snaptrude 3.0 reads and writes Rhino, Revit , DWG, and more, so you can mass in Rhino, develop plans in Snaptrude, document in Revit, then loop back for late design changes without data loss.

Enterprise-grade, browser-simple

Every model is versioned; every change is encrypted in transit and at rest; AI queries are ring‑fenced from your private IP. Whether you are ten people or ten offices, Snaptrude 3.0 scales on the same secure cloud stack trusted by banking and biotech.

An invitation

The runway is built. Taxi onto it and see how far imagination can travel when the software finally steps aside.

Thank you for pushing us to build the tool you needed yesterday and will need even more tomorrow.

Today we launch Snaptrude 3.0 for everyone. Just go to our website and start designing.
