Massketch

For iPad and Apple Pencil

From sketch to massing.

Massketch turns an Apple Pencil stroke into 3D massing with area schedules, city context and export to Rhino. Test an idea in minutes.

Draw like on tracing paper

Outline a footprint and the stroke becomes a clean shape while the volume appears in 3D. Hold the pencil to square every corner. Snaps to neighbours, edges and perpendiculars — no gaps.

Questions

Which iPads are supported?

iPad with iPadOS 15 or later. Apple Pencil is recommended, but you can draw with a finger too.

Do I need the internet?

Sketching, 3D, area schedules and export work offline. The map, place search and city context need a connection.

How do I open the model in Rhino?

Export → Rhino (.3dm). Volumes are NURBS solids with courtyards; facades and trees are on separate layers. Opens in Rhino 7 and 8.

Where are projects stored?

Only on your iPad: in the app and as .massketch files in Files → On My iPad → Massketch.
