Early massing is about exploring form, but real decisions start when that form becomes buildable.

With Snaptrude, you can draw any mass, simple or complex, and break it into storeys in seconds. Define floor heights, total storeys, or use your project's story settings, and Snaptrude cleanly slices the geometry without forcing you to redraw.

This makes it easy to test stacking options, compare low-rise vs. tall schemes, adjust proportions, and evaluate area performance as you iterate.

• Split any sketched mass into stories by height, floor count, or defined story heights
• Slice cleanly through irregular footprints, curved edges, and stepped forms
• Compare tall versus low-rise versions of the same massing
• Test area performance in real time as you adjust floor counts

Looks good. But how many floors is this? Now you know. Early designs often start with form. With split volume, you can take any mass you've sketched, even complex shapes, and split it into stories in seconds. You can divide the mass by a specific height, by the number of floors you want, or by using the story heights already defined in your project. Snaprude slices the geometry cleanly, even for irregular footprints, curved edges, or stepped forms, so you can experiment freely without redrawing anything. This lets you shape the envelope first, then test different stacking options, proportions, and floor counts as you explore the design. You can quickly compare tall versus low-rise versions, adjust floor heights, or split masses into identical stories, all while testing area performance in real time. Split volume turns early massing into meaningful architectural logic, giving you a fast way to go from sketching shapes to understanding how they behave as buildings.
