Design structures with precise dimensions and spacing. Use the building generator or build from scratch, create custom parts with solid modelling tools, and prepare drawings and material lists. Export custom parts for 3D printing.
From garage dimensions to a project you can present
Follow the garage above through 7 steps in Autostrek. Build the model, review materials, prepare drawings and a booklet, then visualize the finished garage.
