Snaprude makes form finding fast and easy. I start in 2D mode, creating setbacks and setting the target FAR. Let's plan the building height with custom calculations. For this project, it's 20 stories. Next, I'll place key spaces on different floors. I'll move and edit these spaces with simple design tools. Snaprude's smart labels assign details like height and materials to spaces automatically. I'm keeping track of my area targets as I design. Copying floors and mirroring rooms is quick with shortcuts. I'll jump back into program mode and ensure all spaces are meeting their targets. Finally, I'll change story heights and finish the massing model. From program to concept in minutes in the same tool.
