A free, open-source SketchUp-style modeler for woodworkers and makers, with cut lists, nesting, and fabrication-ready exports.

Field notes
The landing page documents a browser build and desktop downloads for Windows, macOS, and Linux, alongside a user guide, changelog, release notes, and bug-report link. Its comparison table spells out compatibility and limitations: it imports SketchUp 2013-and-later files with known limits, while fillet and chamfer are not yet available; drawing sheets are described as new. The page identifies the project as MIT OR Apache-2.0 licensed and says the browser build uploads nothing.
