What's inside
These features are built into the app today. Watch a short video of each one. Features marked Pro are part of the Pro license.
Draw and extrude
Lines, rectangles, circles, arcs and polygons; pull any face into a solid with Extrude. Snap to points, edges and axes and type exact sizes while you draw.
Arcs, curves and splines
Arcs, Bezier curves, splines through points and B-splines, all editable afterwards.
Path Sweep and Offset
Sweep a profile along a path for moldings, handles and edges, and offset outlines inward or outward.
Components with parameters
Groups and components with shared copies, driven by formulas: smart scaling, repeat, choice lists and click actions.
Solids and booleans
Union, subtract, intersect, trim and split, plus a check that makes a shape watertight.
Section planes
Cut through the model anywhere, show cuts and section fills, and export a section drawing.
Sun and shadows
Real shadows for a chosen date and time of day. Pro adds a sun analysis per face as a color map and CSV, fully offline.
Saved views
Save camera views, flip through them in the view strip, play them as an animation or render them all at once.
Materials and decor library
Paint faces with materials and import board decors with brand, code, real size and grain direction.
Cut list
A parts list with sizes and quantities from groups and components, exported as CSV. Pro adds sheet and edge banding materials, labels and XLSX.
Cutting plans Pro
Sheet layouts for the panel saw with kerf, trim and grain direction. Print them or save them as PDF.
Parametric cabinets Pro
Kitchen and furniture cabinets with construction rules, drawer systems, fronts, plinth and worktop. Parts go straight into the cut list.
DWG and DXF import Pro
Skelvo's own DWG reader (DWG 2000 and 2004 to 2018) and DXF import, with units, layers and blocks as components.
STL, 3MF and send to slicer
Export STL or 3MF, or send the model straight to the slicer you chose. Check Solid first finds gaps, flipped faces and tiny edges, and fixes what it can.
Print and PDF
Print views, cutting plans and quotations, or save them directly as PDF, and export images.
Photorealistic rendering
Path-traced renders with sun, sky and studio light in a separate render window; save as PNG or JPG.
Developer console and scripting Pro
Model with JavaScript: a code editor with examples, variables that persist between runs and one undo step per run.
9 interface languages
English (US, UK and Canada), Dutch, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese (Brazil), Vietnamese, Arabic and Hindi.
