About
Computational design should not require a license.
Most parametric workflows in architecture are locked behind a desktop licence, a plugin, and a week of learning a node graph. The techniques themselves — subdivision, attractors, panelization — are not complicated. The tooling is.
These mini-tools take the most common of those techniques and hand you only what matters: a viewport, a handful of parameters, and the quantities that end up in a schedule. No graph to wire, no software to install, no account to create.
Everything is computed on your own machine. Geometry never leaves the browser, and the full state of a design lives in the URL, so sharing a result is just sharing a link.

Where this is going
3Now
The facade panelizer, end to end
Block out a building from a site and its regulation, then panelize a surface across it — or start straight from a surface. Every parameter, the schedule, a fabrication estimate that costs the cutting rather than the square metre, and a drawing set a shop can quote from.
Next
More instruments on the same bench
Louvers, tower massing, stairs. A tool here is a list of parameters and one pure function; the workspace around it is generic, so each new one inherits the whole instrument instead of reinventing it.
Later
Tools nobody had to write
A generator that composes a new tool from a description of it, and a programmatic endpoint for teams that want the geometry in their own pipeline.
What it costs
2Free
Every tool and every parameter, the metrics, the panel schedule, the fabrication estimate, and the CSV, OBJ and flat DXF exports. No account, and the link is the project.
Paid
The drawing set a shop quotes from: nested on your stock, every panel type dimensioned, the cut list, the design log. It downloads watermarked for nothing — paying takes the mark off.
