It focuses on edges, planar faces, and tool-driven workflows with precise snapping, dynamic groups (objects). Octodraw is 100% **privacy oriented** putting your privacy, data sovereignty, application autonomy and ultimately your freedom at the top of the priorities list. Octodraw supports **multiple platforms** (linux, windows, mac and android ) with the same file format. you own your files and own your work, your work is portable across all these platforms. Octodraw is extensible by plugins written in the groovy language (for now we can propose you only one plugin that exports to stl and obj formats ) The Android experience is currently optimized for external mouse + keyboard. Octodraw focuses on geometry and modeling **Highlights** Direct modeling: draw edges, create faces, and push/pull solids. Precision: snapping to grid, endpoints, midpoints, lines, faces, and guides. Object workflow: group geometry into reusable object prototypes and instances. Hotspot-driven visual programming for dynamic per-instance geometry behaviors. Measurements: linear dimensions, numeric input, and unit-aware modeling. Custom lighting and shadows with real-time controls. Groovy-powered dev console(not available yet on Android builds) and a plugin system. **Core tools** Select, Line, Rectangle, Surface Rectangle, Quad, Circle Push/Pull, Move, Rotate, Scale, Stretch Linear Dimension, Text, Paint, Object placement Eraser tool (placeholder in this build) **Selection and snapping** Click, window (left-to-right), crossing (right-to-left), and volume selection. Double-click groups to enter edit mode; double-click faces for coplanar selection; triple-click for connected geometry. Snap to grid intersections/lines, endpoints, midpoints, line segments, faces, and guides. Guides: G for grid guides, T for axis guides (Esc clears guides in Select mode). Undo/redo: Ctrl+Z / Ctrl+Y (or Ctrl+Shift+Z). **Objects (groups and prototypes)** Create object prototypes from selection (Ctrl+G or Ctrl+O). Place instances via the Objects panel or Object tool. Edit an object by double-clicking an instance. Object definitions support hotspots - dynamic spots that allow you to manipulate each instance of a class of objects. **Panels and UI** Selection, Object Info, Objects, Model Settings, Lighting, Plugin Manager. Action buttons: Cleanup, Delete, Flip Faces, Color, Lighting, Plugin Manager. Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P) for tools and panel actions. Architecture entities: Wall, Slab, Stair, holes ( in slabs and walls ), window frames. Minecraft/Roblox-like block-geometry: voxel, volume(fill of voxels), frame ( frame made of voxels) and voxelization function ( take a mesh and generate the voxelised equivalent ) Advanced Modification palette * simplified rotate, enhanced rotate/array, multi turn enhanced helical array Mechanical tools Round washer surface, square washer surface and cog surface designer tools ### Package name * octodraw --- ### License * unset --- ### Last updated * 17 September 2026 - latest/stable * 17 September 2026 - latest/candidate --- ### Websites * [alfu32.github.io](https://alfu32.github.io/k3d/ "https://alfu32.github.io/k3d/") * [alfu32.github.io](https://alfu32.github.io/k3d/tutorials/ "https://alfu32.github.io/k3d/tutorials/") * [www.youtube.com](https://www.youtube.com/@octo-draw-k3d "https://www.youtube.com/@octo-draw-k3d") --- ### Source code * [github.com/alfu32/k3d](https://github.com/alfu32/k3d "https://github.com/alfu32/k3d") --- ### Report a bug * [github.com/alfu32/k3d/issues](https://github.com/alfu32/k3d/issues "https://github.com/alfu32/k3d/issues") --- ##### Report a Snap Store violation * [Report this Snap](https://snapcraft.io/install/octodraw/opensuse#report-snap-modal) --- ## Enable snaps on openSUSE and install Octodraw Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully. Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions. ### Enable snapd Snap can be installed from the command line on openSUSE Leap 15.x and Tumbleweed. You need first add the *snappy* repository from the terminal. Choose the appropriate command depending on your installed openSUSE flavor. Tumbleweed: ``` sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Tumbleweed snappy ``` Leap 15.x: ``` sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Leap_15.6 snappy ``` If needed, Swap out `openSUSE_Leap_15.` for, `openSUSE_Leap_16.0` if you’re using a different version of openSUSE. With the repository added, import its GPG key: ``` sudo zypper --gpg-auto-import-keys refresh ``` Finally, upgrade the package cache to include the new *snappy* repository: ``` sudo zypper dup --from snappy ``` Snap can now be installed with the following: ``` sudo zypper install snapd ``` You then need to either reboot, logout/login or `source /etc/profile` to have /snap/bin added to PATH. Additionally, enable and start both the *snapd* and the *snapd.apparmor* services with the following commands: ``` sudo systemctl enable --now snapd sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor ``` ### Install Octodraw To install Octodraw, simply use the following command: ``` sudo snap install octodraw ``` ### Other popular snaps… [See more...](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) [See more in Featured](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) ### More things to do… #### [Get the snap store](https://snapcraft.io/snap-store) Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap. #### [Learn more about snaps](https://snapcraft.io/docs) Interested to find out more about snaps?
