About VA Tool
👋 Hey there! Welcome to the official support page for
🎯 What is Surface Generator?
Surface Generator is a free, web-based tool built for live sound engineers, system techs, acoustic consultants, and event planners.
Creating accurate venue geometry for acoustic prediction software used to be tedious and time-consuming. Surface Generator bridges that gap:
🗺️ Map Mode & GPS Geocoding: Draw stages, FOH, audience zones, and obstacles directly on high-resolution satellite maps with real-world scaling.
📐 Floor Plan & PDF Import: Import blueprints or event layouts, calibrate real-world dimensions with a reference line, and model exact 3D surfaces in seconds.
⚡ Multi-System Export: Instant 1-click export to L-Acoustics Soundvision, d&b ArrayCalc, Meyer Sound MAPP 3D, AFMG EASE 5 & EASE Focus, RCF RDShape, and Universal 3D CAD (.dxf).

☕ Why Support?
Surface Generator is 100% free and accessible to everyone in the industry. No paywalls, no subscriptions, and no annoying ads.
However, keeping the tool fast, accurate, and up-to-date requires ongoing resources:
🌐 Server & Map Tile API costs (satellite imagery, geocoding & backend infrastructure)
🛠️ Continuous updates & bug fixes for ever-changing manufacturer file formats
🚀 Developing new features (support for more audio software, enhanced 3D tools, and workflow improvements)
If Surface Generator has saved you hours on site, at FOH, or during pre-production, buying a coffee is an awesome way to support ongoing development and say thanks!
Thank you for being part of the journey and supporting independent pro audio tools! 🎧✨
