Can I design custom furniture in Diaz Editor?

Yes. Place arbitrary 3D objects, snap to grid, generate cut lists via the BOM export. For CNC plate-cutting, export DXF and run through your sheet-optimiser. The component library includes generic shelving, cabinets, and furniture primitives.

Is Diaz Editor better than SketchUp Pro for carpentry?

For paid carpentry work: yes, on price (€99 once vs $349/year) and on workflow (built-in PDF + BOM, no LayOut purchase). SketchUp wins for free-form sculpting and the 3D Warehouse. For 90% of carpentry deliverables, Diaz Editor is faster end-to-end.

Carpenter use cases

Dormers (dakkapellen): Sketch the existing roof, drop the dormer volume, generate elevation drawings + permit-PDF in 15 minutes.
Extensions and aanbouwen: Hierarchical site → building → level model handles single-story to two-story extensions cleanly.
Custom furniture: Model in 3D, BOM export, DXF to CNC. Bookcases, cabinets, kitchen islands, built-ins.
Joinery details: Mortise-and-tenon, dovetail, scarf joints — model the assembly, dimension the parts, hand-off to apprentice.
Timber framing: Full-frame structures with rafters, posts, beams, purlins. Layer-per-discipline for clean shop drawings.
Renovation surveys: Sketch the existing structure, mark deficiencies, export to PDF as part of the quote.

A 3D model sells the job; a 2D drawing builds the job. Diaz Editor gives you both — 3D for the proposal, 2D + BOM for the workshop. One tool, one license.

Can I design custom furniture?

Yes. Place arbitrary 3D objects, snap to grid, generate cut lists via BOM. For CNC, export DXF.

Is it better than SketchUp Pro for carpentry?
