What it is
Rayon is AI-powered CAD software for interior designers and architects, focused on 2D architectural drawings rather than 3D. It combines drafting commands with BIM tools for creating plans. 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 in real time, comment, doodle, and share through public links. The product includes more than 4,000 elements and more than 100 pre-built templates, and users can create their own libraries and templates. Rayon imports DWG, DXF, PDF, and image files, with a 25 MB cap on those imports, and exports PNG, PDF, DWG, and DXF. It is available on the web and as desktop apps for Windows and macOS. A free plan is available; Pro is listed at $21 a month, and Team at $38 a month, per editor. Team includes a 15-day free trial.
