What is Modelur?
Modelur is 3D application for parametric urban design. It is implemented as a plug-in for Google SketchUp. To see what exactly Modelur is capable of, we warmly recommend you to take a look at our demo presentation.
Why should I use Modelur?
Main advantage of Modelur, in comparison to other applications, is that it is highly specialized for use in urban design and planning, which leads to great time savings when compared to traditional and CAD tools. Beside the tools that enable parametric design of buildings, it also offers simultaneous calculation of urban control values (for buildings and for whole plot), which makes it not only faster to design but it also reduces chances of making mistakes.
Where do I get Modelur?
We are currently in alpha phase of Modelur development. The application will be available publicly when we reach beta version. You are kindly invited to participate in our free PRE-BETA partner programme, which will give you the opportunity to test the application even before we go public.
How much does it cost?
All versions before we reach v 1.0 will be available free of charge.
Are there any minimum system requirements for using Modelur?
Yes. As Modelur relies on some functionality of other software, you should have the following software installed along with it:
- Google SketchUp 6 or later
- Internet Explorer 7 or later (for Microsoft Windows)
- Safari 3 or later (for Apple Mac OS X)
How can I help?
First thing that you can do is to spread the word about Modelur. We are also open to your suggestions how to improve the program, which you can send us to suggestions@modelur.com. We are also in the phase of translation of user interface, therefore we would be thankful if you can help us with your knowledge of foreign languages.
Whom Modelur is designed for?
Modelur is basically a tool for urban designers, architects and students of those disciplines as it enables fast investigation of possible solutions in heterogeneous urban situations. Additionally it is also meant to help professionals from other disciplines and investors. Last, but not least, it can be also used by lay public, which represents important part of contemporary urbanism.
Where can I get help if I discover a problem or a bug?
Help is currently available on our forum. If you find a bug, please report it to bugs@modelur.com.
Can Modelur be extended with additional functionality?
Of course. Flexible design of Modelur engine enables us to adapt it to specific needs. If you need additional functionality, that is not intended to be implemented in some of the future releases, we can prepare individualized software package, which is adapted to your needs.
