Terrafold documentation

Terrafold is a 3D modelling application for the desktop and the browser. You draw edges, a face appears when the edges close a flat loop, and you pull faces into 3D. On top of that sit tools for garden and landscape design: terrain, grading, paths and patios, ponds, and a plant library that grows over time. Terrafold runs on Linux, macOS, Windows and FreeBSD, and in your web browser.

Terrafold is in early development. Some features are previews, and the interface may still change between versions.
