What Redline 3D is
A 3D building configurator built by people who spent years in the field before they wrote software. You design a building, the framing gets modeled member by member, and the material list, pricing and plans come out of that same model.
What it covers
Three framing systems, same depth
Post frame, red iron and stick frame — all on one platform at one price, not sold as separate products. Quote the same building two ways with a dropdown change.
Multi-level framing
Basement, first floor and second floor, all framed and rendered. Interior partitions, bearing walls, floor systems and stairs modeled inside the shell, not just an exterior skin with an empty volume behind it. If you sell barndominiums or finished shops, this is the part that usually isn't there.
Member-level material takeoffs
Columns, trusses, purlins, girts, headers, bracing, panels, trim and fasteners with sizes and lengths attached — because the model knew them before it drew anything. Not a category summary with a waste factor on top. More on what that means.
Permit-ready plan sets
Downloadable PDF plans, elevations and framing layouts generated from the same model, so they stay consistent with each other through revisions. What makes a plan set submittable.
A configurator for your own website
The Website 3D Designer embeds on your site under your branding, with a simplified customer view and your pricing. Leads arrive as complete designs in your dashboard, not contact-form inquiries. How that changes your lead flow.
Your pricing, not ours
You load your own material costs and margins. The configurator prices from your numbers.
What it costs
$250 a month, flat, for your whole team. No per-seat pricing. No setup fee. No implementation period before you can use it. Yearly billing available at a discount, and the website embed is a separate tier if that's all you need.
Full detail on the pricing page. One closed building generally pays for the year.
How to actually compare
Rather than take anyone's word for it, run the same test on every product you're considering:
- Design a building you'd actually quote. Not a rectangle — one with a lean-to, a big overhead door, the things that make quoting slow.
- Turn the cladding off. Is there real structure under it, or a shell?
- Look at the material list. Does it have lengths, or only quantities?
- Add a lean-to and look again. Did the host wall members change, or did it just append a second list?
- Ask what the total is per year for everyone who needs access, including setup.
- Ask what happens when your prices change. Can you update them yourself?
Whatever you pick, that test tells you more than any comparison page will — including this one.
