Build and edit in 2D and 3D
Create editable sketches, dimensions and constraints. Model solids, work with blocks and meshes, and use plates, tubes, box sections and lifting lugs as a starting point for crane components.

The 2026 toolset
From crane components to a lift plan.
Create crane anatomy
Assemble chassis, axles, wheels, boom sections, counterweights, supports and hook assemblies. Browse the supplied LTM component collection, with English anatomy groups and source names retained.
Give each part a role
Set slew and boom pivots, telescope stages, hook movement and cylinder attachment points. Configure hoist drums, sheaves and rope paths. Import your own GLB, glTF, OBJ, FBX or STL models for preparation.
Rehearse the movement
Record crane travel, carrier heading, slew, boom movement and hoist poses on the timeline. Coordinate two cranes with tandem lift settings and replay the sequence for review.
Trace, explode and inspect
Calibrate an image or PDF reference and trace an editable profile. Explode blocks or imported geometry into editable parts. View working radius and sampled collision or clearance findings around the model.
Produce a technical lift plan
Bring crane configuration, source PDFs, load and rigging schedules, method steps, risks and movement waypoints into a structured report. Include plan and elevation drawings, approval tables and the team briefing register.
Crane models require preparation and checks against the exact manufacturer configuration. Simulation and clearance previews support review; the responsible lifting team must verify the engineering data and approve the lift plan.
Inside the software
The LPP workspace
Modelling, crane configuration and technical drawings.
The modelling workspace
A prepared LTM anatomy model in the 3D workspace, with the modelling ribbon and crane controls.
Crane anatomy and movement
Assign moving parts and shared pivots, then preview boom, telescope, slew and hoist movement.
Technical lift plan drawings
Capture plan and elevation views and include them with crane data, schedules and approval tables in the PDF report.
