Automation for the drawings you make on every project
Ready-to-use tools at fixed prices, and custom automation built around your own templates and standards. All of it runs inside SketchUp and AutoCAD, the software your team already uses.
Ready-to-use tools
Install, activate and use the same day. One is on sale, three are in early access, and five are coming.
TrueSouth
Pick the panels in your SketchUp model and get shading, hourly generation with P50 and P90, and a full loss breakdown, for the whole year or any period and hours, as a report you can hand to a client.
SketchUp Available now
Solar Mount Builder
Model a complete PV mounting table, with panels, purlins, rafters and legs, and export its steel bill of materials, cut list and concrete quantities. Built for fabricated steel, not proprietary racking.
SketchUp Early access
STBL, Solar Table Layout
Fill any site with string-true tables, roads and a complete GA summary. The table size comes from your string length, so the layout is electrically correct before a line is drawn.
AutoCAD Early access
STRG, DC Stringing
Select your table layout and it draws the DC stringing: snake paths, terminals, home runs, string numbers and cable lengths, with a per-string cable schedule.
AutoCAD Early access
SLD
Draws single line diagrams from your system details, using your own symbols and sheet template.
AutoCAD Coming soon
AnyView 3D
Exports a SketchUp model as an interactive 3D view that opens in any browser, so clients can look around the design without installing anything.
SketchUp Coming soon
ShadowTrace
Shadow analysis inside AutoCAD: see how shadows from parapets, equipment and neighbouring structures fall across your layout.
AutoCAD Coming soon
ClearReport
Turns design data and raw reports into a clean, readable layout your client can follow.
Coming soon
Quick STAAD
Sends a structure modelled in SketchUp to STAAD Pro for analysis, without rebuilding it.
SketchUp Coming soon
Custom automation
A fixed tool rarely fits a team with its own standards. When your bottleneck is specific to how you work, we build the automation around your templates, conventions and file structure.
You receive a tool, plugin or automated workflow that runs in your existing software, installed on your machines, with training and support.
Typical tasks teams ask us to automate
- Panel and table placement to your spacing rules
- String and cable routing drafts
- Bills of materials from the model
- Drawing sheets in your title block
- Single line diagrams from system details
- Repeated layout checks
How a custom project runs
- Share the problemThe bottleneck in detail, with a few example projects.
- Feasibility proposalWhat we need from you, how long the study takes and its price, credited against the build.
- You approve the studyNothing begins until you confirm.
- Feasibility studyA short proof of concept, scope of work and a fixed build price.
- You approve the buildScope, price and timeline agreed in writing.
- Build and deployDeveloped, installed, trained and supported.
Two approval points, so you are never committed to more than the next step.
The feasibility study
What we ask from you
- 5 to 6 representative projects covering your range
- Native, editable drawing and model files, not PDFs
- Your sheet template and title block
- Component library and CAD standards
- Revision history, where available
Never the full library; a sample is enough.
What you get back
- What can be fully automated
- What must stay with your engineer
- A short working proof of concept
- Scope of work, timeline and a fixed build price
Not only solar. Most of our work is solar today, but the method works wherever CAD work repeats itself. If your field is different, ask anyway.
Questions teams ask
Do we have to change our software?
No. The tools run inside SketchUp and AutoCAD, on the licences your team already has.
How is custom automation priced?
Every problem is different, so there is no list price. The feasibility proposal states the study price, which is credited against the build, and the study ends with a fixed price for the build.
How long does a build take?
It depends on the scope. The feasibility study gives you a fixed timeline before you commit to anything.
Will you sign an NDA?
Yes, whenever it is required.
What do we receive at the end?
A working tool, plugin or automated workflow, installed on your machines, with training for your team and support after handover.
Can you automate work outside solar?
Yes. Send us the task; if CAD work repeats itself, it can usually be automated.
Which drafting task would you most like to stop doing by hand?
Describe it in a few lines, with an example project if you can. That is enough to begin.
