Stories Panel
“We built the Stories Panel because architects told us they needed a faster way to tweak building heights, check area targets, and iterate massing concepts—all without switching tools or updating Excel sheets.”
– Spoorthi Narayan, Product Specialist

Early-stage planning often comes down to simple numbers: story heights, floor count, total area. Until now, those basics were buried under layers of manual effort. The new Stories Panel brings speed, clarity, and BIM-grade control into every massing iteration.

What’s New

Stories Panel for Massing & Feasibility

You can now add, remove, and modify stories directly from a dedicated panel on the left. Whether you're stacking volumes to test FAR or adjusting heights for compliance, Snaptrude lets you do it instantly, and tracks the impact in real time.

Key Features

  • Edit Story Heights Easily: Add, delete, and modify story heights from the new Stories panel. No need to redraw or track numbers in Excel.
  • Real-time Area Feedback: See projected area update instantly as you modify story counts or heights. Great for tracking FAR targets or volume studies.
  • Basement Support: Define how many basements to include; we’ll mirror the lowest space type and calculate area accordingly.
  • Integrated Massing Intelligence: The system links story definitions with your modeled spaces, making feasibility studies more accurate.
