BIM that fits in your bag.
Full architectural CAD, 3D modeling, and building-information data — drafted with Apple Pencil and rendered in real time on Metal. Vector is a from-scratch, native studio for iPad, Mac, and Vision Pro. No desktop port. No web wrapper.
Draft with a pencil. Document like a firm.
A real-time 2D floor-plan renderer drawn on Metal, with the full architectural toolset and an Apple Pencil-first interaction model. Sketch freehand, snap precisely, or type exact coordinates — the lines become a building.
Every tool a draftsperson reaches for.
Walls, doors, windows, columns, slabs, roofs, staircases, dimensions, text, furniture, beams, zones, and guide lines — a complete drawing tool set with a true architectural line-weight hierarchy for cut versus uncut elements.
- Freehand sketch with stroke smoothing, then convert lines to walls
- Magic-wand region fill and 2D boolean operations
- Automatic room and space detection from wall topology
- Distribute elements linearly, radially, in a grid, or along a path
- Apple Pencil radial menu and precise numeric coordinate entry
2D and 3D, always in sync.
A real-time 3D building renderer on Metal lets you orbit, fly, and edit your model live as you draft. Multi-camera navigation remembers your views, and openings cut as real boolean holes — not flat decals.
- Multi-camera navigation with saved camera states
- Solid modeling and boolean solid operations
- Wall openings cut as true 3D holes with per-edge mapping
- Slabs with holes and penetrations
- Profile extrusion engine for custom cross-sections
Precision you can feel through the screen.
A 9-type snap engine, configurable angle locks, and an independent snap grid mean the cursor lands exactly where the geometry wants it — in imperial or metric, your choice.
Snap to anything that matters.
Grid, endpoint, midpoint, intersection, perpendicular, parallel, center, guide-line, and nearest — each toggleable, with adjustable tolerance. A spatial-grid acceleration structure keeps hit-testing instant on even the busiest plan.
- Angle-lock increments (0 / 15 / 30 / 45 / 90°) with custom lists
- Independent snap grid versus the visible drawn grid
- Imperial and metric unit systems with smart formatting
- Per-type toggles and adjustable snap tolerance
17 roofs. 15 stairs. 16 windows. Zero plugins.
The building elements you actually use, built in from day one — and walls that know how to meet. Multi-layer composite walls resolve their own junctions: insulation wraps, structure meets structure, finishes terminate clean.
Composite walls, done right.
Build walls from real layers — structure, insulation, sheathing, siding, interior finish — each with its own thickness, material, and priority. At every L, T, and X junction, higher-priority layers wrap through lower ones automatically.
- Reference lines (exterior / interior / center) drive snaps and dimensions
- Automatic mitering and cleanup at corners, tees, and crosses
- Vertical material zones — wainscot below, paint above
- One-tap templates: 2x4, 2x6, interior partition
- Curtain walls with mullion profiles, plus 7 railing styles
17 Roof Types
Flat, gable, hip, shed, mansard, gambrel, butterfly, barrel, sawtooth, dome, freeform and more — drawn from a bearing line with set extent and slope, or generated automatically. Add gable, shed, hip, eyebrow, or barrel dormers.
Openings, 16 Ways
Casement, double-hung, awning, sliding, picture, bay, bow, skylight, transom, French and garage doors — with swing/hand direction, muntin pane divisions, sills, and hardware. Master configurators give a live 2D preview.
15 Staircase Types
Straight, L- and U-shaped, spiral, curved, quarter and half turn, winder, double-return, and ladder — with stringer options. Plus structural slabs, columns, beams, ceilings, and coverings.
Stack your building, story by story.
A multi-story model where every level holds its own walls, openings, slabs, columns, beams, staircases, roofs, railings, MEP, rooms, and site boundary. Set elevations and floor-to-floor heights in a dedicated story manager.
- Per-story elevation and floor-to-floor height control
- Structural slabs, columns, and beams
- Furniture with smart attachment to floors, walls, ceilings, or other items
- Renovation phasing: existing, demolition, and new construction per element
Design it. Then prove it.
Vector carries a deep building-information data model and analytical back-ends most desktop tools lack. Every element is classified, every edit is undoable, and the model can check itself against code.
A model that runs the numbers.
Project metadata, CSI MasterFormat classification, automated spec generation, and a product catalog with manufacturer data — plus real analysis engines that run right on the model.
- Energy analysis: heating/cooling loads, envelope heat loss, U-values, annual kWh
- Solar analysis and PV panel placement
- Clash detection between elements and systems
- Code compliance: egress, accessibility, structural, fire, energy, zoning
- MEP systems: HVAC, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, with A* run routing
Layers & Overrides
Organize with layers, graphic overrides, and spatial zones. An element manager shows usage counts and purges what you no longer need.
Parametric Library
~214 curated assets across furniture, appliances, cabinetry, lighting, plumbing, and more — including a parametric cabinet configurator. Curated and growing.
Command & Undo
An ECS-backed command architecture means every edit — editing, properties, layers, annotation, distribution, zones — is fully undoable.
Real materials, real numbers.
PBR architectural finishes that look right and carry data too — every material holds an R-value and a cost per square meter, so every surface doubles as a spec.
- Color, roughness, metallic, specular, emissive, occlusion, and texture transform
- Categories: wood, stone, brick, concrete, metal, glass, drywall, tile, paint
- Material browser, import, custom store, and runtime normal-map generation
- Render-quality controls for the look you want
Ground your design in the real world.
LiDAR-scan existing conditions on-device, trace over the capture in Vector, and step inside your design in AR — all on the same iPad you drew it on.
- LiDAR room scanning to capture existing conditions
- Scan reference overlay to trace over a real space
- AR walkthrough renderer built on Metal
- Geospatial siting with address geocoding and site-boundary modeling
One tap to a drawing set.
Floor plans, elevations, sections, schedules, and a title block — published to sheets automatically. And Vector speaks every language your project does.
Document like a firm.
Linear, chain, and elevation dimensions with automatic, collision-aware label placement. Generate sections and elevations from a live cut plane, then place everything on sheets.
- Grid lines, section markers, and floor-plan cut planes
- Auto-generated window/door and general schedules, plus quantity takeoff
- Drawing style templates for line weights, hatches, and dimension styles
- Layout book + publish engine with title blocks auto-filled from project info
Speaks every language your project does.
Bring work in and send it out in the formats the AEC world runs on — and feed the Apple spatial ecosystem at the same time. Import USDZ, OBJ, GLTF, IFC, and DWG straight into the Vector tab.
- Import: IFC (full ISO-10303-21 parser) and DXF/DWG
- Export: IFC, DWG/DXF, GLTF/GLB, USDZ, PDF with layout, and CSV
- USDZ and GLTF export make every model Apple-spatial-ready
- Drawing entities preserved on export: lines, arcs, text, polylines, dimensions, layers
