3D Design Software for Lifting Engineers
Model lifting environments, structural steelwork and plant layouts in full 3D. Built for engineers who need precision design tools without the complexity of traditional CAD.
Professional 3D design, purpose-built for lifting
Vertexa 3D is a purpose-built design application for lifting engineers, Appointed Persons and structural teams. It combines intuitive 3D modelling with lifting-specific tools — so you can design, review and communicate complex lifting environments without needing a full CAD background.
From positioning cranes and rigging geometry to modelling structural interfaces and exclusion zones, Vertexa 3D gives you a clear, accurate picture of every lift before work begins on site.
Everything you need for precision lifting design
Intuitive 3D modelling
Build accurate 3D environments using a library of crane, plant, structure and load objects. Drag, rotate and position elements with precision without complex CAD commands.
Structural interface design
Model steelwork connections, lifting points and structural interfaces in 3D to identify clashes and confirm geometry before fabrication or installation.
Rigging geometry tools
Calculate sling angles, leg lengths and rigging configurations directly within the 3D model to verify safe working loads and confirm compliance.
Clash detection
Automatically detect clashes between cranes, loads, structures and exclusion zones so conflicts are resolved at the design stage, not on site.
Drawing & report export
Export dimensioned drawings, 3D views and design reports in PDF or DWG format for inclusion in lift plans, method statements and client submissions.
Collaboration & sharing
Share live 3D models with clients, principal contractors and site teams. Maintain a full revision history so everyone is working from the latest design.
