Reference first.
Geometry second.
AI only when it helps.

Tracewing transforms architectural references, sketches, and photographs into clean, editable CAD geometry—reducing repetitive drafting while keeping designers in complete control of the final drawing.

View the five phases

Make the core workflow reliable.

Reference image · Perspective correction · Profile detection · Closed CAD geometry · DXF export

01 · Current development

Foundation

Build the core experience that takes a single reference image through a complete drafting workflow.

Native macOS application · SwiftUI interface · Light and Dark Mode · Drag-and-drop image import · Perspective correction · Image cleanup · Profile detection · Closed profile generation · Scale calibration · DXF export · Project library · Local-first architecture

02 · Planned

Professional Drafting

Expand Tracewing into a production-ready drafting utility.

Multiple detail levels · Arc recognition · Automatic line cleanup · Gap repair · Curve simplification · Symmetry tools · Node reduction · Profile validation · Manufacturing-ready geometry · Batch processing

03 · Planned

Intelligent Assistance

Introduce optional AI-powered analysis while preserving a private, local workflow.

Apple Intelligence integration · Optional OpenAI support · Optional Google Gemini support · Local model support · Custom AI endpoint support · User-controlled processing · Cropped image analysis · Automatic profile suggestions

04 · Planned

Advanced Geometry

Expand beyond simple profiles into larger drafting workflows.

Multi-plane perspective extraction · Architectural elevations · Ornament extraction · Symbol recognition · Furniture profile extraction · Profile libraries · Saved drafting templates · Custom cleanup presets

05 · Planned

Professional Workflow

Further integrate Tracewing with design and fabrication workflows.

Vectorworks workflow improvements · SVG export · PDF export · DWG export investigation · CNC-ready geometry · 3D printing profiles · Profile version history · Shared libraries

Professional control is the feature.

Tracewing is not an image generator, an AI drafting replacement, or automatic CAD. It is a professional utility that helps designers transform reference material into editable geometry while keeping the final result in their hands.
