Tools on every block page

Each block on cadblock.org has its own page, and every page carries the same tools: the drawing at scale, the 3D model, all its views, a grid to measure on, a size comparison, a print preview and the block set in a room. 10 tools in all, free and without an account.

Drawing at scale

The block beside a person drawn at the same scale, so its size reads at a glance. A piece that hangs or stands on a counter is drawn at its mounting height, with the height from the floor.

Try it onPedestal sink with semicircular front and three faucet holes Pyramid chimney range hood

3D model

Turn the model round, look underneath, switch to mono or line view, measure it and show a person beside it. Doors open with a slider. The model downloads as STEP, OBJ, GLB, 3MF and STL.

Dimensions and every view

Width, depth and height in meters and in feet and inches, with the plan, front and side elevation laid out as US drawings do, all at one scale and dimensioned.

Explore at scale

Drag and zoom the drawing on a grid at real size and measure any distance with two clicks, in both units. With several views, see them all together or one at a time; Esc clears the measurements. How it works, with examples →

In the room
