Plan descriptions
Free
Start here. Open the pre-loaded gems, render them live in both Solid and Realistic mode, trace light with Ray Studio, and estimate finished weight with the yield calculator. Every material is available; renders are transparent (no color editing) and nothing can be saved, edited or exported. No credit card. No expiration.
Best for: learning, exploring, trying out Gem Diagram before you subscribe.
Pro ($29/month or $249/year)
Everything you need to create and present professional work. Upload unlimited
diagrams, edit and save them as .facet files, export PDFs with full color
editing, and access the complete materials library. Unlock the authoring and
analysis tools: Gem Designer (build from scratch), Rough Planner (find
the best orientation), and Cutting Assistant with full auto-cut
capabilities. Capture renders with screenshots and video recording.
Share your work with Gem Showcase (a raytraced lineup of up to 6 gems at
true scale) and Client Preview links to show buyers a stone (up to 500 active
at once). Import existing designs with PDF Import (beta) to turn a GemCAD
or Gem Cut Studio cut sheet into an editable design.
Best for: anyone creating, editing, sharing, and presenting professional gemstone designs.
