Plannr

3D modelling in your browser, with a real building engine underneath.

Plannr is a free, open-source SketchUp-style modeller: draw, push/pull and paint like you're used to, then switch on plugins that turn rooms into brick cavity walls, timber roofs and electrical layouts. An MCP endpoint lets an AI model alongside you.

What it does

A Rust engine owns the model and every operation; the browser is the viewport. Everything you can do by hand is also an operation an AI can call.

Modelling

The tools you know

Line, rectangle, circle, arcs, push/pull, offset, follow-me, move, rotate, scale, groups and components, tape measure, dimensions, section planes and layers.

Construction

Brick houses

Draw rooms per storey and get cavity walls with leaves, insulation and bond pattern, lintels and sills, beam-and-block floors, U-values and a material takeoff.

Roofs

Real roof structures

Gable, hip, shed and flat roofs with wall plates, purlins, rafters, battens and tiles, sitting on the walls, with masonry gables in the wall's own build-up.

Framing

Timber framing

Framed walls with automatic corner and T details, floors, trusses and rafter roofs, beams, stairs and engineering checks.

Electrical

Installations

Circuits, sockets, switches and lights with cables in the walls, a distribution board and checks against the Belgian AREI rules.

AI

Model together with an AI

Every tool is exposed over MCP: an assistant can draw, edit, measure, change the camera and take screenshots of what it made.

Run it yourself

On this site your projects are stored on the server and tied to this browser; export them as JSON to keep a copy. For your own work, run Plannr locally: it's one Rust binary and a static frontend.

git clone https://github.com/MatthiasDM/plannr-modeller.git
cd plannr-modeller
cd web && npm install && npm run build && cd ..
cargo run --release -p plannr-server     # http://localhost:8795

Plannr is free and open source, built in spare evenings. If it helps you, a coffee on Ko-fi keeps it going.
