Codesign - an absolute must-have app for architects
This creative tool is specifically for the conceptual design stage of the architectural process for faster ideation, quicker integration, and limitless imagination.
Enables data-driven design in real-time with advanced features for simplicity and speed.
Integrates seamlessly with BIM systems like Archicad, Forma, Revit, and Vectorworks.
Rapidly sketch, envision ideas, and push your creativity while incorporating valuable downstream data in real time.
“The flexibility of Codesign encourages me to explore designs freely. There is no default to orthogonal forms, which is liberating.”
David Sutherland, Architect
Find out at the first conception if your design is feasible without all the fuss. Leaving you more time to do what you do best — create beautiful architecture.

See from a brand new angle
Find your fluid time. Here’s where design ideas stay loose enough that you don’t fixate on one specific conceptual design but instead allow yourself to generate multiple concepts, iterate, and blend ideas. With the ability to generate a fully specified 3D model in minutes, you’ll discover what is working and what is not — then, you can review each direction to evaluate the potential.
Sketch to building
Our pencil-based input allows you to sketch the outline of your design and have it turn into a building model.
Explore more
Use the sketchbook to explore your design, iterate, create, and ideate. Add details and notation to present your projects.
Contextualize
Enter your site address and import the surrounding context. See how your design sits in and responds to its environment.
Sun studies with a click
Create simple, fast, and effective sun studies for any day of the year. Explore shading and refine your project accordingly.
Data driven design
Use a brief and data-driven approach to your design. Or monitor overall usage along with site coverage and floor space ratio reports.
Collaborate and integrate
Use IFC and OBJ integrations to push your designs into downstream systems. Share your designs quickly and painlessly with Codesigns collaboration features.
integrateD AI
Codesign AI takes your model or sketch as the source input for the generative AI generation. This allows you to have fun and explore more
SUSTAINABILITY
Explore all the angles. Run carbon calculations for all your design options and start conversations regarding building performance from an environmental perspective
Unique characteristics of Codesign
Rough doodles turn into structures right before your eyes.
It’s simple to rapidly sketch and recreate while adding details and dimensions to your ideas.
Visualize the actual site. Type in the address and place your design.
What happens when the sun goes down? Quickly explore sun studies for weather conditions.
Incorporate a data-driven approach to your design by monitoring overall usage, site coverage, and floor space reports in real-time.
Easily export to IFC and OBJ to move your concepts into downstream systems. Sharing with colleagues is also simple with the click-to-share button.
Take your rendings to new heights using your sketch as the source of generative AI, enabling you to have fun with endless possibilities.
Sound environmental choice
Run carbon calculations for all of your design options. Get the conversation started regarding building performance and environmental impact.
It’s never been easier or faster to design
What if you could explore more designs, create multiple concepts, and exercise your imagination without stopping to verify that you’re meeting the brief requirements?
Now you can. Codesign delivers more concepting with less contemplating. It fits perfectly between pen, paper, and BIM.
