Deep-Dive - Modumate

What makes Modumate so fast? Our 4 Layer Hierarchy.

To old 3D tools, buildings are just a bunch of vertices. To us, they're a hierarchy of layers. This is our secret sauce.
Instead of sculpting every part, you choose, compose, and connect parts from our library in 5-10x fewer clicks.

Massing Graph

Lay out your building's spaces in 3D.

Separators

Walls, Floors, Roofs, Doors, Windows, Stairs, Railings, Beams, Mullions...

Surface Graphs

Lay out your surfaces' regions in 2D.

Attachments

Finishes, Trim, Cabinets, FF&E.

Four fancy new terms... let's take a closer look:

Your Massing Graph

Summary

Your "Massing Graph" is the skeleton of your 3D model. It's a diagram of the spaces in your project, the assemblies that separate them, and how the assemblies connect.

Benefit

You can lay out your building in 5-10x fewer clicks, and keep easy control over your building's massing at all times.

Your Separators

Summary

Your "Separators" are space-separating assemblies (Walls, Floors, Doors, Windows, etc) that you can customize and host onto your Massing Graph.

Benefit

You can lay out your architectural assemblies in 5-10x fewer clicks, and you get clear control over what basic parts (studs, bricks, etc) are in your project.

Your Surface Graphs

Summary

Your "Surface Graphs" are the skin of your 3D model. They host onto Separators' surfaces and are a diagram of surface regions.

Benefit

You can easily lay out beautiful, complex surface regions in 5-10x fewer clicks.

Your Attachments

Summary

Your "Attachments" are decorative assemblies (finishes, trim, cabinets, FF&E) that you can customize and host onto your Surface Graphs.

Benefit

You can design beautiful interior spaces in 5-10x fewer clicks.

Give it a try. You'll be glad you did.

Instant Renderings and Walkthroughs

Modumate is built on Unreal Engine, so unlike old tools, it's natively photorealistic. Save your project's prettiest views, and turn on Gravity to walk around your design like a video game.

The benefit is: you get beautiful presentations in a single click.

Instant Background DWGs

Cut the model anywhere and get a construction-grade DWG in seconds. Each object type has its own layer for Cut and Beyond linework. Change the model, re-export, and all your DWG backgrounds are instantly up-to-date.

The benefit is: you get background DWGs in a single click.

Better 3D modeling for architects who use 2D CAD.

If you're an architect who designs small, elegant buildings in AutoCAD or similar, Modumate was built for you.

If old 3D modeling tools cause you pain ...

... Modumate is the 3D tool for you.

Thousands of clicks to sculpt common 3D elements like doors, cabinets, roofs, trim, etc.

Create a detailed 3D model in 5-10x fewer clicks.

They export ugly DWGs, so you draw your backgrounds by hand - thousands more clicks.

Export beautiful, layer-aware background DWGs in 4 clicks.

They aren't linked to your DWGs, so each design revision costs you double-work in 2D and 3D.

No double-work: revise your 3D model, re-export DWGs, and your backgrounds are up to date.

They have ugly graphics, so you spend time and money on rendering tools.

Modumate is built on Unreal Engine, so it's always beautiful.

They're too expensive.

Free trial, then $150/user/month.

They're bulky and take years to learn.

Learn Modumate in a day, and be a pro in a week.

They aren't improving.

We release updates every month.
