### Pull ideas up into form

Draw a circle or rectangle right on a face, then pull. A live preview shows exactly what you'll get before you let go, and you can type an exact distance at any time.

Plan a cabinet, work out a shelving layout or try a new furniture design. Draw to real dimensions, explore how the parts fit, and make changes before you commit to materials.

Open SketchUp models and LayOut documents directly, then keep designing in PushForm. Import STEP, glTF, COLLADA, OBJ, 3DS, STL and DXF. Export models as .skp, STEP, GLB, COLLADA, OBJ or STL, and Layout drawings as PDF, SVG, DXF, LayOut documents or page images.

PushForm is open source under GNU GPLv3. Study the code, change it for the way you work, and share improvements under the same license. Commercial use of GPL copies is welcome, too.

The source is available on [GitHub](https://github.com/PushForm/pushform-app). Opening the software does not publish your private designs.

Sketch a panel, pull it to thickness, then add the details. Push/pull modeling makes it easy to explore a cabinet carcass, a tabletop or a custom bracket at the size you need.

Push a shape into a solid to cut pockets, openings and clean through-holes. No extra steps and no stray faces left behind. Just the shape you meant to make.

How deep should the cabinet be? Where should the shelf sit? Build up your design in 3D, compare proportions and check the fit of individual parts while changes are still easy.

Switch from shaded to hidden line for crisp, drawing-ready views, or turn on X-ray to see through walls and check what's behind them. Change the look of your model in a click, without touching the geometry.

From a fitted cabinet to a weekend workshop project, use 3D to answer practical questions about size, spacing and how it all comes together.

Plan base cabinets, wall units and built-ins. Explore carcass sizes, shelf spacing and door proportions before cutting panels.

Lay out rooms, cabinetry and furniture quickly, then present them in clean, client-friendly styles.

Work out a table, bookcase or workbench in 3D. Size each part and explore joints before heading to the shop.

Explore custom brackets, knobs and workshop jigs. Refine the shape and dimensions around the job it needs to do.

Block out enclosures and parts fast, then refine with Solid Tools, Follow Me and precise inference.

Learn by designing something you can make. Start with Community Edition for learning, teaching and your projects.

Model with confidence, save your work automatically, and export drawings and models for the people who need them.

Smart inference snaps to endpoints, midpoints, edges and axes, so lines land exactly where you mean them.

Give panels thickness, position parts and add profiles with Push/Pull, Move, Rotate, Offset and Follow Me.

Documents save automatically to your cloud library. Export a native copy to keep on your computer.

Send a secure link. Clients orbit, measure and comment without installing anything.

Start with a cabinet, a shelf or an idea for the workshop.
