### What is Rayon?

#### **Rayon is the *****effortless***** CAD software for drawing perfect architectural drawings.** 

**It is a one stop-shop to import, draft, stylize and layout** your work, so as to produce professional-grade document sets. Rayon represents the next generation of tools for architects: online, collaborative, cross-OS,  ergonomic. Rayon offers a newer, fresher approach to CAD, one that many have been expecting for a long time.
