Graphite4D documentation

Learn to model, build, draw and share with Graphite4D. New here? Start with Getting started.

• Getting startedBuild your first model in Graphite4D in about ten minutes, from a rectangle to a two-level building with a plan you can export.
• NavigationOrbit, pan and zoom with a mouse, trackpad or touch, switch views, find any tool and use the Properties panel and graph in Graphite4D.
• ModelingDraw, push/pull, move, rotate, measure, paint and group SketchUp-style geometry in Graphite4D, with snapping, axis locks and typed feet-and-inches values.
• BuildingsAdd levels, walls, slabs, doors, windows, stairs, rooms, column grids and schedules in Graphite4D without opening the graph.
• DrawingsOpen plans, sections and elevations cut from your Graphite4D model, annotate them, and export scaled vector SVG and PDF.
• Recipes and the graphReuse a design as a recipe with its own controls, see how your model is built in the graph, and drive repeated parts with collections, expressions and tagged faces.
• Materials, presentation and sitePaint faces, edit realistic appearances and perforated panels, color the model by its data, set the lighting, and place your project in its real surroundings.
• Projects, saving and sharingHow Graphite4D saves your work on your device and in the cloud, how to keep copies and project files, what you can export, and how firms share projects.
• Use your own AI assistantConnect an AI assistant you already pay for to a Graphite4D project through MCP. It can read the model and propose changes; you review and approve them in Graphite.
• Keyboard shortcutsEvery default keyboard shortcut in Graphite4D, the keys that work while a tool is active, and how to search and change shortcuts.
• TroubleshootingFix graphics and browser problems, keep large models responsive, recover a project that won't open, resolve conflicts, work offline and get help.

In the app, open Help in the top bar for the getting started checklist, examples and keyboard shortcuts.
