Node snapping
Automatic junction resolution and member connectivity so your skeleton reflects the real building, not a manual redraw.
BIM → structural workflow, in the browser
Finally, a structural skeleton you can trust, built from your native models.
Architects upload ArchiCAD or Revit files. We extract geometry, snap structural nodes, and compute dead, live, and short-term loads, so engineers spend less time rebuilding and more time analyzing.
Built to eliminate the grunt work of BIM translation, NodeSnap empowers structural teams to spend less time fixing disconnected nodes and more time delivering high-fidelity engineering.
How NodeSnap works
NodeSnap is a collaborative structural preparation layer: we keep your BIM intent intact while giving engineers a clean, analyzable skeleton and load cases, without redesigning them.
-
1
Upload native models
Bring your ArchiCAD or Revit project into a shared workspace. We preserve element identity for traceability downstream.
-
2
Node snapping & skeleton
Our engine resolves junctions, aligns members, and builds a structural graph you can inspect, refine in the browser and export for structural analytical softwares such as Lira-Sapr, SAP2000, ETABS and more.
-
3
Loads & collaboration
Apply dead, live, and short-term load patterns with clear assumptions, and discuss specifics inline on elements.
Supported authoring tools
Start from the software your team already uses. More formats follow.
- ArchiCAD
- Revit
- Lira-Sapr
- SAP2000
- ETABS
- Robot Structural Analysis
Why teams choose NodeSnap
Fewer round trips, fewer spreadsheets, and a single place where structure and architecture stay aligned.
Load combinations
Model dead actions alongside live and short-term cases with transparent rules and exportable summaries.
Web-native workflow
No install required for reviewers. Open the model, verify assumptions, and sign off from anywhere.
Element-level comments
Designers and engineers discuss structural elements in context.
Change visibility
See what moved between uploads and keep accountability across disciplines as the BIM evolves.
Built for serious projects
Permissions, audit-friendly history, and infrastructure aimed at firms, not toy demos.
“NodeSnap is the web-native hub for structural engineering, bridging the gap between architectural design and structural analysis so that your loads, nodes, and integrated feedback finally live in one perfectly connected space. ”
