New in 0.25Section planes, 3D text and a light theme

Give your ideas shape. Put them to work.

Practical 3D modeling for independent designers and craftspeople. Draw a shape, extrude it, set exact dimensions, and open the SketchUp files you already have.

Everything in the video is real Modlumi, recorded as it runs.

Most 3D tools make you learn the software first. Modlumi starts with the shape. Draw a rectangle, extrude it, type 1800mm and press Enter. Undo anything.

From outline to client

One piece, four steps.

  1. A face extruded into a block with a sloped top
    1

    Shape it

    Extrude · P

    Draw an outline, press P and click the face, then type 720mm and press Enter. It becomes a solid of exactly that height.

  2. A cylinder with softened edges
    2

    Refine the edges

    Fillet

    Round, chamfer or soften edges, and keep the result a solid you can go on editing.

  3. A section plane cutting through a cabinet
    3

    Cut it open

    Section Plane

    Cut through a cabinet with a section plane so your client sees the shelves inside.

  4. A wood texture pinned onto a board

    Finish it

    Paint · B

    Paint wood, stone and paint finishes, then pin each texture so the grain runs the right way.

Made for independent work

From a rough idea to a model your client understands.

  • Joiners and furniture makers

    Work out dimensions before you cut, and show clients exactly what you propose to build.

Plugins and scripts

Twelve plugins built in. Room for your own.

The desktop app comes with twelve plugins, most of them ports of well-known open-source SketchUp extensions. Turn them on or off under Extensions → Manage Extensions, install other people's, or write your own in JavaScript or TypeScript.

outline.jsFile → Run Script…
// Draws a one-meter square with edges, then fills it.
const model = modlumi.activeModel;
model.operation("Draw outline", () => {
  const [side] = model.entities.addEdges([
    [0, 0, 0], [1, 0, 0], [1, 1, 0], [0, 1, 0], [0, 0, 0],
  ]);
  model.entities.findFaces(side);
});

What's coming

Less busywork. More time for the design.

Modlumi runs on Windows, Mac and in your browser, and plugins already let you add your own tools. Next, we're taking on the repetitive parts of modeling and making it easier to show clients what you'll build.

  • Available now

    Tools that fit your trade

    Build a cabinet from a few measurements, or add tools made for the way you work. Write plugins and scripts in JavaScript or TypeScript for the desktop app.
    Read the plugin guide →

  • On the roadmap

    An assistant for the tedious parts

    Ask for "make the cabinet 20 cm wider" or "try it with three drawers" and let an AI assistant do the edits. You stay in control and can take over at any point.

  • Later

    Show clients the finished piece

    Materials, textures, and lighting, so clients can see the wood, the finish, and the feel of a space before anything is built.

Available now

Model your next piece in Modlumi.

The Mac version runs on Macs with Apple silicon and macOS 15 or later. On another computer? The browser preview lets you try the modeling tools and open SketchUp files right away. Files stay on your device; nothing is uploaded. The preview doesn't save models yet.
