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.

Frequently asked questions

Why use CAD as a self-employed carpenter?

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?

For paid work: yes, on price (€99 vs $399/yr) and workflow (PDF + BOM built-in). SketchUp wins for free-form sculpting and 3D Warehouse.

Does it work for traditional joinery and timber framing?

Yes. Hierarchical building model handles timber framing cleanly. For complex joinery, export DXF to specialist tools.
