Browser CAD for the workshop
Millimetric engineering maths, instant browser 3D and an automated schedule-to-cutlist — across stone, steel, timber and custom materials. No install, no desktop maze, no re-keying in the yard.

Ready to push to StoCut — no re-keying.
Why StoCAD
Most jobs are lost in the handover between the sketch, the schedule and the saw. StoCAD keeps them as one artefact, so what you design is what gets cut.
Without it
With StoCAD
Features
Parametric geometry, multi-material assemblies, finish-aware 3D and an automated cutlist — all reading from the same model, so nothing drifts between the screen and the saw.
Curve-Wall Engine
Chord-versus-arc maths at every joint. Set the arc and StoCAD sizes each piece, then generates the back-cut wedges and joint gaps the yard actually cuts.
Multi-Material
Masonry courses, SHS box sections with mitres and weld preps, timber framing, or a custom material you define. The schedule follows whatever each piece is set to.
Stone
SHS steel
Timber
Finish-Aware 3D
Flamed, honed, sawn or polished. Assign a finish and the 3D view shades, the drawing hatches, and the schedule records it — so the yard knows what surface leaves the shop.
Spreadsheet-to-Cutlist
Every dimension in the model lands in a millimetric schedule, then becomes a cutlist with stock sizes, cut lengths and edge treatments — pushed straight to StoCut.
Millimetre Sync
Change a radius, a tread or a joint and the plan, the elevations, the schedule and the cutlist all move together. Nothing goes stale on the way to site.
How it works
01
Set out the job in millimetres — doorstep, patio, seating, wall, curve wall, or the whole garden sheet.
02
Place the material: thickness, edges, and finishes (bullnose, sawn, and the rest) on each piece — stone, steel, timber, or a custom set you define.
03
The desk builds the piece list: quantity, size, and edge call-outs for the yard.
04
Push the cutting plan to StoCut for nesting and sheets. Your sell prices stay in your own quoting system, and are not part of that handoff.
Examples
Four plan views issued from the desk. Rise, going, and the pieces are on the sheet.
Clad from the top: walking surface, then uprights. Box rise 150 mm, width 2180 mm.
Street pier, a three-rise doorstep, patio from the bottom tread, and a low wall with coping.
Against-wall flight, a narrow path, and a raised planter with coping.
Two terraces with steps between, herringbone on the upper terrace, and retaining coping.
Inside the desk
Pick the job, set it out in plan, and the elevations, the material schedule and the cutlist follow. The picture is the last look, not the first tool. No account needed to try it.
Seating, an outside kitchen, steps from the lawn, a wall and the kerb line — modelled together, so the schedule and the cutlist are never guessed. Millimetres a client can approve and a supplier can price.
Try the drawing desk freeFour treads. Rise 150 mm, going 400 mm. The sketch is what the yard builds; the picture is what you send before a stone is cut.

Questions
Garden seating, outside kitchens, patios, steps, walls, kerbs, doorsteps, and ramps — including a whole garden room on one sheet. The desk stays simple. The finished sketch carries the millimetres.
Seat is one person: client sketches, a formwork package, PNG and PDF, and a StoCut cutlist. Sales Office adds two more people, shared jobs, supplier drawings, SVG, and DXF. Outlet adds two more people again, a layered file for Photoshop, and anything beyond five people is quoted.

You can try the drawing desk free, without an account. When you have a seat, package, people, and sign-out are in the app, under Account. This site does not keep a second login.
Write to pks@philstone.co.uk, or use the enquire form. A larger outlet, a package question, or a job the desk does not cover yet — same address. We reply to the address you enter. That address is not published.
No. You set the seating, the kitchen, the steps. The millimetres are yours. This public site is written so a person or a search assistant can read what StoCAD is. Assistants do not see enquiries, and they do not draw.
Card checkout is not live on this brochure yet. Request a seat on the signup page. When payment is switched on, the card will stay on Stripe’s page — this site will never see the number. Sign-in stays in the desk app.
Not VAT registered. Prices are final; no VAT is added.
Stone masonry, structural steel box sections with SHS mitres and weld preps, timber framing, and custom materials you define. The schedule and the cutlist follow whichever material each piece is set to.
Set the arc. StoCAD solves the chord at every joint, sizes each piece, and produces the back-cut wedges and the joint gaps. The wedges are dimensioned on the schedule, ready for the saw.
