Modelur

Verified

Modelur is parametric urban design software for early-stage site planning and feasibility studies, built for architects, urban designers, and real estate developers.

It runs as a plugin inside SketchUp and Rhino3D, generating urban massing, flagging zoning-compliance issues live, and syncing results to Excel.

Modelur Overview

Modelur is a parametric urban design plugin for SketchUp and Rhino3D, built by Agilicity for architects, urban designers, and real estate developers running early-stage feasibility studies. It lets users model buildings, plots, and urban blocks parametrically inside SketchUp, automatically recalculating floor area, density, and other massing metrics as the design changes. An urban massing generator helps explore multiple site layouts quickly, while live zoning-compliance warnings flag violations of local planning rules as the model is edited. Modelur supports import and export of OpenStreetMap and GIS data, DWG floor-plan import, and a LiveSync connection to Excel for exporting massing calculations to spreadsheets. A companion plugin, Modelur4Rhino, brings the same parametric modeling functionality to Rhino3D users. Modelur offers a free plan (non-commercial use, limited to one editable model) alongside paid per-seat subscriptions billed monthly, quarterly, or annually, with volume discounts for multiple seats. The vendor names urban design teams such as MLA+, Richez_Associés, and Mandaworks, and municipal clients including the City of Kitchener, Oslo, and Amsterdam, as users.

Planary

Planary is a feasibility and massing plugin for Revit and AutoCAD, built for architects and urban designers evaluating site potential before design begins. It converts 2D filled regions into live 3D parametric masses and instantly calculates metrics like FSI, GFA, NSA and parking counts. Results update in real time as the design changes, with no file exports required.
