Our interface is modern, well-designed and intuitive. We have received over 1000 user ratings with an average of 4.6/5 stars. Installers like Pylon because the work surface is 2D, which makes it easier to navigate, but you can still place and manipulate 3D objects.

"Pylon is great"


What do you like about Pylon?

We've used quite a few apps but Pylon has been the best. We like the 2D surface because it's better on an iPad and the shading feature is very good. Overall very easy to use and the proposals look great.

What do you dislike about Pylon?

We have been waiting on component pricing for a while but we were able to try a beta and it is good for our needs
