About
BentStudio is a browser-based design studio for timber and log buildings, from garden sheds and pergolas to cabins, larger sheds and timber barns.
- Design the structure: start from a timber-frame, post-and-beam or dovetail log-wall layout. Set dimensions, bays, roof form, trusses, dormers and lean-tos; the model updates as you go.
- Inspect the work: move between 3D, plans and elevations. Look closely at corners, notches, braces and individual members.
- Take it to the shop: save a revision and export a PDF drawing package with timber sheets, cut coordinates and an editable project file.
Runs in a desktop browser, with an offline HTML download included. Pricing: one Studio licence is CAD $199, paid once. No subscription.
BentStudio is a design and layout tool, not a structural engineering service.

About
LinceCAD is a desktop 2D and 3D CAD application for opening, editing, and saving DWG and DXF drawings on Windows and Linux. It opens DWG formats from R14 through 2018 and DXF from R12 through 2018 without conversion, preserving objects it does not edit when drawings are saved. Drafting tools include object snaps, polar tracking, grips, dimensions, multileaders, tables, layers, dynamic blocks, attributes, external references, and layouts with vector PDF plotting. It also provides 3D solid modeling, a GPU-based viewer, photorealistic rendering, web map services, LAS/LAZ point clouds, terrain models, contour lines, PDF-to-DWG conversion, raster vectorization, and OCR. Users can automate tasks with AutoLISP, a local Python API, and an MCP server for AI assistants. The interface and help are available in English and Spanish. LinceCAD offers a 30-day full-feature trial, with a planned one-time perpetual license per user.
