Features

Everything a model needs.
Nothing it doesn't.

Simple tools that do exactly what you expect, and a few that do more than you'd guess.

Push/Pull

Pull any face into a solid, or push through it to cut a hole.

Exact by typing

Type a size like 2m,1m at any moment. Metric units, and feet and inches.

Measure and guide

Tape Measure leaves guide lines and points. Dimensions stay attached to the model.

Move, Rotate, Scale, Offset

Copy as you move, make arrays like x5, and repeat the last copy with ⌘D.

Groups and Components

Edit one copy and every copy follows. The Outliner names, hides and locks each part.

A library that saves itself

Every step is saved. Folders, thumbnails and earlier versions are in the sidebar.

Export anywhere

USDZ for Quick Look and AR at real size, glTF, OBJ, STL, COLLADA, DXF and images.

Made for the Mac

Swift, Metal and Liquid Glass. Light and Dark, trackpad gestures and real Mac menus.

Cut Sheet

Turn a model into a cut list and packed sheets of plywood, with grain and kerf counted. Export it as a PDF.

Materials and stock

Paint with colors, wood patterns and image textures. Materials can carry their sheet size and thickness.

Tags

Tag drawer boxes or appliances, then hide them all at once from the Outliner.

Saved views

Save camera views with a thumbnail, update them, and jump back with a smooth move.

How it works

Draw. Push. Build.

Three moves make almost anything.

01 · R

Draw

Click, click. Edges snap to points and axes, and every closed loop becomes a face.

02 · P

Push

One click and a drag turn a flat face into depth.

03 · 2m,1m ↵

Build

Type exact sizes as you go. Edges stick together, so walls, steps and rooms just add up.

Push/Pull

Push in. Pull out.

Every flat face is a handle. Pull it up into a solid, push it back to carve a recess, or push straight through to cut a clean hole.

P
Precision

Measure as you go.

Type a length, a size or an angle at any moment, without clicking a box. Tape Measure leaves dashed guides to snap to, and Dimensions stay attached as the model changes.

Meters, centimeters, millimeters, feet and inches, and architectural fractions.

2.2 m
Components

Build once. Use everywhere.

Turn a window, a chair or a whole house into a component, place copies, and edit any one of them: every copy updates. The Outliner shows the whole model as a tree you can name, hide, lock and isolate.

Cut Sheet

From model to plywood.

Give a material its stock, and Pibo Draw lists every part and packs them onto sheets, counting grain, kerf and edge trim. Drag parts around by hand if you like, follow the cuts in saw order, and export a PDF for the shop.

Export

Take it anywhere.

Send a model to Quick Look and AR on iPhone and iPad at its real size, to Blender and game engines, or to your 3D printer.

FAQ

Questions

Who is Pibo Draw for?

Anyone who wants to sketch an idea in 3D without learning a complex CAD package: makers, woodworkers, designers, architects and students. If you can draw a rectangle, you can build a box.

Which file formats does it support?

Models save as Pibo Draw documents. You can export USDZ, glTF Binary, OBJ, STL, COLLADA and DXF, plus PNG, JPEG and TIFF images, and import COLLADA and DXF files. Cut Sheets export as PDF.

Will I lose work if I forget to save?

No. Every step saves automatically into your library, and earlier versions are kept, so you can go back.

Which platforms does it run on?

macOS first. Pibo Draw is a native Mac app built with Swift and Metal, and it needs macOS 26 or later.

When can I try it?

Pibo Draw is in development and coming to the Mac soon.

What does "Pibo" mean?

Push In, Build Out. It's the whole idea in four words: draw a flat shape, then push it into something solid.

Push in. Build out.

Coming soon to the Mac.
