15 months ago, we made a bold choice to close off free access to Snaptrude. At the time, it might have seemed like we were stepping back, but in truth, we were preparing to leap forward, at least that’s what we thought. We partnered closely with our paid customers, mid- to large-sized AEC firms in the U.S. and worldwide, to dive deeper into their challenges and sharpen our focus on building the modern stack for the industry.

In hindsight, that decision has turned out to be remarkable for us and our early adopters, who’ve seen first-hand how Snaptrude has evolved. More importantly we feel it will turn out to be a remarkable one for the industry. Now, if you’re invested in our vision, or about to be, there’s a lot to look forward to.

A Connected Design Stack for the AEC World

We’ve always had a simple, yet ambitious goal: accelerate the development of a better built environment. We believe this is possible through a connected design ecosystem that removes every obstacle standing between concept and construction. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce that Snaptrude is on the verge of a major breakthrough in this direction.

While we haven’t solved every challenge yet, nor are we ready to address all stakeholders in the AEC ecosystem. We’ve made incredible progress in this direction and, if we do say so ourselves, what we’re about to release is going to change how the AEC industry approaches design & collaboration.

What to Expect in the Coming Weeks

We’re not quite ready to show you everything (trust us, there’s a lot to share), but here’s a peek at what’s coming:

• Steady Reveals: Over the next few weeks, we’ll unveil aspects of the new Snaptrude. Each reveal highlights how Snaptrude has evolved, and continues to evolve, to fit more seamlessly into your workflow.
• Front-Row Access: Follow us on social media and subscribe to our newsletter for an insider’s view of each rollout, behind-the-scenes stories, and plenty of surprises.

We genuinely believe these launches will transform design workflows across the industry and we can’t wait to show you how fast we’re charging toward our vision.
