Context is visual
Engineering work is not contained in a chat box. Structura captures the active canvas when you execute, so the model reasons about the view actually in front of you.
01 // FOR STRUCTURAL ENGINEERS
AI for structural engineers, with the engineer still in control
Structura AI is a desktop AI workbench for structural engineers. It reads the active engineering canvas, proposes a bounded plan, acts only after approval and verifies fresh evidence before it reports completion.
The working problem
AI has to fit the workflow.
Structura AI is a desktop AI workbench for structural engineers. It reads the active engineering canvas, proposes a bounded plan, acts only after approval and verifies fresh evidence before it reports completion.
Structura is deliberately not a substitute for competent professional review. It makes the current context, next action and verification path visible so the user can decide what to approve.
Actions need boundaries
A useful assistant must do more than suggest. Structura separates inspection, planning, execution and verification so each requested change has a visible scope.
Responsibility stays human
Structura is an engineering workbench, not an engineer of record. Calculations, model changes and deliverables remain subject to competent professional review.
Practical sequence
From intent to checked evidence.
01 // Inspect the current model
Open the relevant view or drawing and ask Structura to inspect the active context.
02 // Review the proposed plan
Check the bounded steps, selected connector and intended evidence before approving execution.
03 // Verify the result
Structura compares fresh canvas evidence with the requested outcome; the engineer makes the final acceptance decision.
Boundaries
Control is part of the product.
- ◇ No arbitrary shell commands
- ◇ Provider credentials stay in the operating-system keychain
- ◇ Prompts and project images go directly to the chosen model provider
- ◇ MadeVia receives licence checks, not project content

Questions
Structural engineers FAQ.
Does Structura AI replace a structural engineer?
No. Structura helps inspect, plan and carry out bounded workflow actions. Professional judgement, calculations, checking and approval remain with the engineer and their practice.
Which AI model does Structura use?
The practice chooses. Structura supports configured accounts for Google Vertex AI, OpenAI, xAI, Mistral and local Ollama models, subject to each provider’s availability and terms.
Does MadeVia receive our drawings?
The MadeVia licence service does not receive CAD drawings, project screenshots, prompts, provider tokens or model responses. Provider traffic goes from the desktop to the selected provider.
