| Summary | Conceptually a very interesting alternative to SketchUp. |
|---|---|
| Accessibility | Very easy to adopt. In some instances counter intuitive to operate, because slightly different to “learned” modeling softwares. |
| Limitations | Beta Testing only - the tool is still under development. |
| Specifics | Only global geodata - no access to German site boundaries, etc. |
| Q&A | Developer - Well developed SaaS. Demo calls are being offered on the website. We have been in touch with the development repeatedly and follow upgrades and additions closely. |
| Manuals - There is an extensive documentation and support function within the design tool itself as well as direct contact to the support team (external link) | |
| Videos - There are various videos on YouTube - (external link) | |
| Last evaluation | 15 August 2024 |
| Status | High potential - still under development. |
| Note … | the range of functions might have evolved since our review! |
