As somebody outside of the industry, what's the final output of this product? I don't see doors, so I'm assuming this tool is intended to be used to rough out shapes and costs collaboratively? I totally see the utility in having a collaborative tool at those early stages. How far does Arcol go? Can it spit out blueprints?

Also, being asked to login to view the demo vid is jarring. The play button signifies a video to me, if it's a demo I'd choose a different symbol (and put it somewhere other than the center of the video).

Exactly, at this stage, the output is mainly for feasibility, presentations and communication. But we can also export models to Revit or 3D formats like GLTF to use in the next steps of the process, or for renders, etc. But we're planning to continue to add features to make it useful further down the AEC pipelines.

Good point about the play button, I'll pass that feedback along. :)

Neat, love it!
