Cut the concept phase down to a single session.
Draw the draft in front of your client, deliver the revision before the meeting ends, get approval the same day with 3D. You do the final design in CAD; Nodaform shortens the most expensive time before it: the back-and-forth rounds.
Six points, six shortcuts
In the concept phase, time goes not into drawing but into waiting and repeating. Nodaform steps in at these six points; you still do the construction documents in CAD.
A draft at the first meeting
As the client gives you the dimensions, you type them in; rooms take shape, doors fall into place. You leave the meeting with a dimensioned draft in hand; no more "I'll come back with a draft next week".
Instant revisions
When they say "let's open the kitchen to the living room", delete the wall, see the area, send the PNG. A revision round shrinks from a day to a message.
One-round approval with 3D
A client who can't read plans understands the space in the isometric view. "Will it look like this?" gets answered with an image instead of a drawing. 3D View →
Continue in CAD via DXF
Export the approved draft as DXF and draw on top of it in AutoCAD or ArchiCAD. You don't start from scratch; wall axes and openings come ready. Pro
Take-off and cost threshold
Wall lengths, door and window counts and floor area are listed in a schedule; add unit prices and you get a budget threshold. You get to talk numbers with the client early. Pro
The same sheet with your team and partners
While the interior designer places the furniture, the electrician marks the socket locations; everyone works on the same project, and version chaos and "which is the latest file?" are over. With templates, you don't start from scratch on apartment types you repeat often. Pro
A concept tool, not a construction documents tool
Nodaform's job is to shorten the time before approval. Structural, architectural and mechanical construction documents are still prepared under the responsibility of licensed architects and engineers, in their own CAD environment.

Frequently asked questions
Which layers does the DXF export include?
Wall centerlines and thicknesses, door and window openings, room boundaries and labels come on separate layers. Furniture is exported as blocks.
Can I bring my own CAD drawing into Nodaform?
Not yet; the flow runs from Nodaform to CAD. DXF import is on the Pro roadmap.
Can team members work at the same time?
Real-time collaboration is planned for the Pro plan, with editor, commenter and viewer roles.
Are there scale and drawing sheet standards?
Scaled PDF exports to A4 and A3 at 1:50 or 1:100; your office details go in the title block.
