The Engineering Tool
We Always Wished We Had

StruxDraft combines structural drafting, code-compliant calculations, and PDF plan overlay into one seamless desktop application — built by practicing structural engineers who were tired of juggling spreadsheets, hand calcs, and disconnected software. Design wood beams, steel beams, columns, retaining walls, footings, and more — all directly on your plans.

What Is StruxDraft?

A desktop application that lets you draft structural elements directly on top of your PDF plan sheets — and run real-time NDS 2018, AISC 360, and ACI 318-19 code checks without ever leaving the drawing.

Draft on Your Plans

Import PDF construction documents and overlay beams, steel beams, columns, joists, walls, retaining walls, footings, and more — directly on the sheet. Use the Wall Highlighter to strip away architectural noise and see only structural walls.

Instant Code Checks

Every member is checked against NDS 2018 ASD (wood), AISC 360 LRFD/ASD (steel), and ACI 318-19 (concrete) in real time. Bending, shear, deflection, bearing, punching shear, axial compression — all calculated automatically.

Connected Load Flow

Joists feed beams, beams feed columns, columns feed footings. StruxDraft tracks the full gravity load path so you don't have to chase reactions by hand.

One-Click Reports

Generate a professional structural calculation report covering every member — title block, design criteria, utilization tables, reactions — ready for plan review submittals.

Live Schedule Panel

A sortable, inline-editable schedule sidebar shows every beam, joist, column, wall, footing, and anchor bolt — complete with utilization badges updated in real time.

Built for Speed

Powered by Tauri v2 (Rust) and React, StruxDraft launches in under a second, uses minimal memory, and keeps your workflow moving — no cloud lag, no login walls.

Our Products

Three purpose-built tools for residential and light-commercial structural engineering.

StruxDraft — structural elements overlaid on PDF plan

StruxDraft

Structural Drafting & Design

Import your PDF plans and overlay a complete structural design — beams, steel beams, joists, columns, walls, retaining walls, headers, footings, piers — with NDS 2018, AISC 360, and ACI 318-19 code checks built in. Connected load flow tracks reactions from roof to foundation automatically.
