Open-source data connector between all your design tools

★★★★★★★★★★
(312)

An open-source data connector that links design tools together. Send geometry and data between Revit, ArchiCAD, SketchUp, Rhino, Grasshopper, and others without exporting files. Version control for 3D models: like Git for geometry. Free to self-host with a cloud version available.

Strengths

  • Open-source and free to self-host: no per-seat licensing
  • Solves a genuine pain point: interoperability between design tools
  • Version control for 3D models
  • Growing developer community
  • Generous free hosted tier

Limitations

  • Requires technical setup: not plug-and-play for non-technical studios
  • Most powerful in scripting and parametric workflows
  • Less useful in single-software environments
  • Some connectors more stable than others
Studio Size 2–50 people — skews toward studios with at least one technically minded person
Studio Type Computational design practices and studios running complex multi-tool workflows
Project Types Complex commercial, parametric design, research, large infrastructure
Pricing Free (open-source, self-hosted). Hosted cloud from $12/user/month. Enterprise pricing available.
