Tower checker: architect's plans to every floor in one go

Drop in the architect's PDFs for a tower. Every storey becomes a level at its height, plans aligned, with its floor plate and the roof, so you go straight to columns and loads.

How it works

Drop in the PDFs

One file or several, joined in name order. Each plan page is read for its storey.

Every floor, aligned

Levels are made at their heights, plans are aligned, and each storey gets a floor from its slab edge, plus a roof slab.

Eleven levels made from one PDF, each with its plan and floor, stacked in 3D

Levels · FloorsOne per storey

Columns and loads

Place columns once on the ground floor and they run to the roof. Set one floor load across the tower, and add facade loads to every edge in a click.

The tower pulled apart storey by storey, each slab coloured by the column it loads

Questions

Vector PDF floor plans, one storey per page. Scanned drawings work less well.

Not yet. Columns placed once run through every level, and copy to level repeats a floor's layout up the building.
