Snaptrude

Overview

Snaptrude is an innovative AI tool designed specifically for the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry. Its core function is to automate the conversion of early-stage design inputs, such as hand sketches or 2D CAD drawings, into rich, parametric 3D Building Information Models (BIM).

The platform leverages artificial intelligence to understand design intent, instantly generating intelligent 3D geometry with embedded data. This significantly accelerates the conceptual design phase, allowing architects and designers to rapidly iterate, explore different options, and automate time-consuming tasks like generating schedules, reports, and quantity take-offs directly from the model. Snaptrude aims to bridge the gap between quick, intuitive early design and the data-rich requirements of BIM workflows, enhancing efficiency, collaboration, and data accuracy throughout the initial design stages.

Key Features

• AI Sketch to BIM: Automatically converts hand sketches or simple lines into intelligent 3D BIM models.
