About

CADProps is a browser-based CAD viewer and measurement workspace for engineers, manufacturing and purchasing staff, designers, and other users who need to inspect parts without installing desktop CAD software. It opens supported STEP, IGES, STL, OBJ, 3MF, DWG/DXF and selected native CAD files, with capabilities that vary by format and geometry. Users can inspect assemblies, measure dimensions and geometry, calculate surface area and volume, estimate mass using a selected material density, compare models, process batches, and export property data. Viewing and measuring are available without an account; signing in is required to convert files, save them across devices, or create share links. The web workspace also supports temporary guest sessions and shareable model reviews.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • As an old school QS/Estimator, who was brought up on using paper drawings and take-off sheets, this has been mind blowing. I have been using a free on line take-off system, that has no back up and will eventually be taken down, together with my own take -off and estimating Excel spreadsheets. I love the ability to screen shot my mark ups and add them to my take-offs for future reference. I have seen others using Bluebeam and I would consider Purple Hammer to be above and beyond this system. The ability to compare drawing revisions is a great feature. We all know the architects who like to push out drawing revisions and not actually cloud the revisions.

Cons

  • The only con at the moment is my own limits. I'm looking forward to Ari Isaacs showing me how to incorporate my own take-off sheets. Looking forward to being able to exploit it's features
