From rough sketch to buildable 3D model in hours — Kathleen Adams gives architects, builders, and designers professional-grade 3D modeling software built for construction-level detail, not guesswork.
Solid mesh export makes Kathleen Adams true 3D modeling software for 3D printing, generating watertight files ready for any printer or fabricator.
Parametric Model Builder
Sketch massing studies and convert them into fully dimensioned 3D models without leaving the canvas.
Real-Time Material Rendering
Apply stone, glass, and timber textures and preview lighting changes as you rotate the model live.
Multi-Discipline Layer Sync
Architecture, structural, and MEP layers update together so clashes surface before construction documents ship.
Site Terrain Mapping
Import topographic survey data and grade the landscape directly around your building footprint.
Buildable Detail Library
Drop in framing, joinery, and fastener details pulled from manufacturer specs instead of drafting them manually.
Collaborative Design Review
Clients and consultants mark up the same 3D file simultaneously and comments anchor to exact coordinates.
Automated Quantity Takeoffs
Generate material counts and cut lists directly from the model as geometry changes during design.
Code Compliance Checks
Flag setback, height, and egress violations against local zoning rules before submitting for permit review.
Walkthrough Animation Export
Turn any completed model into a navigable walkthrough video for client presentations in minutes.

How much does Kathleen Adams cost?+
Plans start at $39/month per seat for solo designers. Studio and enterprise tiers scale with project volume and add collaboration seats — pricing is on the site, no sales call required.
Is there a free trial?+
Yes, 14 days, full feature access, no credit card needed. You can import existing project files on day one to test real work, not a demo scene.
How long does onboarding take?+
Most architects and interior designers are modeling in under an hour. The guided setup covers unit systems, file import, and your first buildable model.
Can I import files from AutoCAD, Revit, or SketchUp?+
Yes. Kathleen Adams reads DWG, RVT, and SKP files directly, preserving layers and dimensions on import.
Does it integrate with rendering engines like V-Ray or Lumion?+
Native export plugins exist for V-Ray, Lumion, and Enscape. Set up the connection once in preferences and renders sync automatically.
What happens to my project data?+
Files are stored encrypted at rest and in transit, and you own every file you create. We don't train models on your designs or share project data with third parties.
Can I work offline?+
Yes. Desktop installs work fully offline; cloud sync resumes automatically once you're back online, with no risk of overwriting local changes.
How do I cancel?+
Cancel anytime from account settings — no phone call, no retention form. Your projects stay exportable for 90 days after cancellation.
Isn't this just another CAD tool with a new name?+
CAD tools document designs; Kathleen Adams builds them. Parametric constraints and real-time structural checks mean the model you sketch is the model you can actually construct.
I already know Rhino or SketchUp — why switch?+
Muscle memory carries over: same viewport navigation, same modeling logic. What changes is speed — complex facades and site plans that take hours elsewhere resolve in minutes here.
Does it handle large-scale urban planning projects?+
Yes. The engine is built for multi-building sites and terrain data without the lag typical of general-purpose 3D software.
What if my team uses a mix of Mac and Windows?+
Native apps exist for both, and project files are fully cross-platform — no format conversion needed when a Mac-based designer hands off to a Windows-based drafter.
