Speed Up Your Entire Workflow

Step #1
Set Design Requirements

With Modelur, you can start modeling with as much or as little data as you have. If you don’t have any data, you can simply start massing out your model. But if you input data, such as floor area ratio or building height limitations, Modelur can help you understand your model better and warn you if your design doesn’t comply with city zoning ordinances.

Step #2
Generate new Development with a click of a Button

Quickly explore different zoning scenarios and generate a basic draft with the massing generator. Or, manually draw building layouts and convert them to 3D buildings. You can also import DWG floor plans to start designing right away.

Step #3
Bring All Your Ideas to Life

Empower your design with parametric modeling and automated data calculations. Explore and refine your options at speed, with complete control over your design.

Step #4
Synchronize Your Data With Excel Spreadsheets

Eliminate manual data transfer with Excel LiveSync. Modelur automatically synchronizes all your model data to Excel spreadsheets in real-time, so you can focus on design and let the computer crunch the numbers.

Speed Up Your Workflow

Step #1
Set Design Requirements

Enter area’s zoning regulations such as max. FAR, site coverage, green areas, max. building height and more, and create custom land-use types for greater flexibility and calculation precision.

Step #2
Generate new Development with a click of a Button

Use the urban massing generator to see how zoning rules perform in space and set maximum geometrical building values for the generator to get you started with a basic draft or simply import your dwg floor plans.

Step #3
Bring All Your Ideas to Life

Use the power of parametric modeling and automated data calculations to start designing and iterating your ideas. Have complete control over your design.

Step #4
Synchronize Your Data With Excel Spreadsheets

Say no more to manually transferring your model data to to spreadsheets. Our Excel LiveSync functionality synchronizes all your model data to Excel Spreadsheets in real-time so you can focus on what’s important.
