What it is
Rayon is CAD software for interior designers and architects, focused on 2D architectural plans rather than 3D modeling. It combines drafting commands with BIM tools, and its AI features can find or generate assets, answer CAD questions, create architectural visuals, and turn images into vector sketches or wireframes. Teams can edit together in real time, comment, doodle, and share public links. The product includes more than 4,000 elements and more than 100 pre-built templates, with options to create custom libraries and templates. It imports DWG, DXF, PDF, and image files, capped at 25 MB, and exports PNG, PDF, DWG, and DXF. Rayon is available on the web and as Windows and macOS desktop apps. The Free plan costs nothing. Pro costs $21 a month billed monthly; Team costs $38 a month, per editor, billed monthly, and includes a 15-day free trial.
