Rayon is the next-generation CAD software designed for architects and interior designers. Offering all the essential features of AutoCAD, Rayon goes further by providing a faster learning curve, intuitive browser-based interface, and real-time collaboration.
Rayon is easy to learn both for experienced CAD users or beginners.
Unlike AutoCAD, Rayon allows you to work with your team or clients simultaneously on the same project, with live updates and real-time feedback.
Unlike AutoCAD, there’s no need to install bulky software or worry about updates. Access your projects from any device, wherever you are.
Rayon offers the core features that AutoCAD users rely on—precise drawing tools, CAD standards, and detailed 2D modeling—without the overwhelming complexity. Whether you're designing detailed architectural drawings or interior layouts, Rayon’s intuitive interface allows you to complete your projects faster with fewer steps.
AutoCAD requires heavy software installation and constant updates, often slowing down your workflow. Rayon is entirely browser-based, meaning no downloads, no updates, and no more storage space issues. Access your designs from anywhere and always have the latest features available without extra effort.
With AutoCAD, collaboration often involves sharing large files, emails, or cloud storage links. Rayon offers real-time collaboration out of the box. You and your team can work on the same design simultaneously, view live changes, and add comments directly within the platform. No need for third-party tools or version confusion.
AutoCAD is known for its powerful but steep learning curve. With Rayon, architects and designers can learn faster without sacrificing precision. Rayon's intuitive tools and pre-built templates make it easier for new users to master professional-level designs while speeding up day-to-day workflows for experienced users.
While AutoCAD users often spend time creating assets from scratch, Rayon provides access to 4,000+ pre-built, customizable blocks—from furniture to architectural components. In addition, Rayon's ready-made templates allow you to start designing faster and focus on creativity instead of repetitive tasks.
Rayon allows you to go beyond basic technical drafting by giving you the tools to create beautifully detailed 2D drawings. Customize colors, textures, and hatches to enhance your designs and give them a unique, professional look. Whether you're working on floor plans or detailed technical drawings, Rayon helps your designs stand out, making presentations and documentation more engaging.
