Curva documentation

Curva is an open-source 3D suite for architects and designers. It models freely, like Rhino. Objects remember how they were made, and plans, sections and sheets come live from the model, like Revit and Archicad.

These pages take you from installing Curva to your first model. If you already use Rhino, start with Coming from Rhino: most of what you know works the same way.

Curva is an early preview

Things change from one version to the next, and some commands are still missing options. These pages describe the latest release. If something here doesn’t match what you see, tell us on GitHub.
