An alternative to online 3D editors
If you have used Tinkercad or SketchUp Free and hit their limits, here is what is different here — and where the others remain better. No exaggeration.
What GrafitGo adds
- Objects stay parametric after you place them: change a number and the shape rebuilds, any time.
- Building generators: a multi-storey house with interior walls, joinery, base course, cornice and roof, in one click.
- A vector 2D plan cut from the model and a cost sheet with quantities.
- Walking through the building at 1:1 scale, with wall collision.
- Rendering with a physical sky, sun by the hour, occlusion and reflections — not just flat colours.
- You can install it locally and run it offline, with the data on your own computer.
Where the others are stronger
Tinkercad has a huge community and classroom lessons. SketchUp has an enormous model library and extensions for everything. Professional BIM packages produce technical documentation, structural requirements and part schedules — things GrafitGo does not do and does not claim to.
