Aiming to bring sustainable building design and easy-to-use software together to ensure industry wide reduction of carbon emissions, cove.tool is the only platform that links to all the current 3D modeling software program workflows to ensure you can seamlessly update your models in every stage of design.
cove.tool is the first cloud-based network of tools to create interconnectivity between all teams working in the design and pre-construction cycle — reducing risk, boosting transparency, and maximizing productivity across the board.
So, what 3D modeling software programs have plugins for cove.tool?
Autodesk Revit
The cove.tool plugin integrates directly to your Autodesk Revit workflow to upload any Revit geometry for automated building performance analysis. This plugin saves time by allowing you to export building geometry to existing cove.tool projects in the cloud.
Compatible Versions: 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023

Rhinoceros 3d and Grasshopper3dÂ
From your Rhinoceros 3D and Grasshopper 3D workflow to Upload Geometry to cove.tool using a pre-built grasshopper script. The script has been rebuilt from the ground up for easier use, viewing geometry errors, and security improvements! Integrates with your Rhino/Grasshopper workflow directly to upload any building geometry for automated building performance analysis. Save time and effort by inviting team members to your cove.tool project and stay up-to-date on design decisions being made.
Compatible Versions: Rhino 5, 6, and 7

Vectorworks
Vectorworks Designer is a fully integrated 3D modeling tool that provides a BIM workflow. The geometry is exported as 2D information into cove.tool's manual mode.
Currently, Vectorworks is working on a way to export 3D geometry which will allow users to access the 3D Analysis pages, so, at the moment, Vectorworks 2021 is the only version supporting a cove.tool plugin.
