👋 Hey there, scaffold heroes — we’ve got news.

A quick note before we jump in:

We’ve grown to 10 full-time team members (!), visited tons of you, and just came back from Bauma where the feedback was clear — you're asking for exactly what we’re building.

It’s been busy, but fun.

Thanks for the energy — now here’s what’s new 👇

🛠️ What’s New

Scaffolding Features

📈 Insanely Fast. Ridiculously Big.

You can now model massive projects — think Empire State Building — with higher performance and precision than ever before.

⚡ Load 100x100x100 meter scaffolding structures in seconds

🧱 Enhanced scaffolding detail

📐 Instantly get material lists for huge projects

🧠 Auto-Correction: Smarter Every Step

No more adjusting every bay. The scaffold auto-aligns in height based on the first one.

Set it from the beginning — retrochanges won’t apply.

🧲 Snap-to-Height: Now Even Smarter

Stack scaffolds on rooftops, layered buildings, or terrain — ground level adjusts automatically.

🧱 Auto-Corners

Using a square bay? We’ll patch the corner automatically — and snap other groups right to it.

🧰 Select a Whole Scaffold Group in One Click

Tired of clicking 20 bays with shift+click?

Now you can select an entire scaffold with a single tool.

🩹 Patching Made Easy

Corners now come pre-patched with tubes and planks. Less manual work. Cleaner design.

📏 Scaffold Bay Dimensions & Distance Measurements

Clear visuals of each bay’s real-world size

Detect exact distance to buildings — get dimensions in a click

🧳 New Suppliers Added

Access even more scaffolding materials — ready for dimensioning and export.

Building Features

🧱 Define wall thickness for structural clarity

🏠 Adjust roof angles precisely

🔺 Create perfect geometric shapes effortlessly

Hold shift while dragging out a shape, to create quadratic and perfectly circular objects.

Communications & Branding

💬 Add comments on any object — streamline collaboration

🎨 Brand your projects with custom logos and colors

🔬 Scaffcalc Labs: What’s Brewing

Experiments, sneak peeks, and ideas we’re testing right now...

🧠 Structural calculations (FEM)

🏗️ GEDA hoist integration

🧩 Component-by-component mode for extreme control
