## What is 4D Draw?

4D Draw is a simple vector-graphics app that lets you draw 4‑dimensional figures.  It represents each point's first three coordinates in the usual way, while using color to represent the fourth coordinate.  A built-in Help menu includes a “How to draw” page for an easy start, followed by a page of “4D construction ideas” to set you on your way towards visualizing 4-dimensional space.

4D Draw is intended for geometry students who want to learn to visualize 4‑dimensional space.  People looking for a more recreational introduction to 4D should begin with 4D Maze instead.  People looking for an even more recreational introduction to modern concepts of space and symmetry may enjoy the Torus Games or KaleidoPaint.

## Key features

- Draw 4-dimensional figures
- Use color for the fourth coordinate
- Built-in 'How to draw' guide
- 4D construction ideas
- Visualize 4-dimensional space

### 5/5 — lovely

*2024-05-17*

This is wonderful and pretty literally the only tool like this, the only thing i would ask for is the ability or maybe a setting to allow for 4d rotation using your fingers, maybe in two finger gestures, or just sliders, only being able to look at the shapes cell-on makes it difficult to see the structure and edit points

### 5/5 — This is really cool!

*2023-04-16*

You don’t need templates, stop doing updates! This is perfect right now

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2023-03-14*

Whenever I try to move a point it just rotates the view

**Developer response:** The toolbar at the bottom of the display lets you determine the effect of your finger motions.  The first button in that toolbar (ø) let you rotate the view, as you saw.  But if you tap the second button in that toolbar (the 4-way arrows), then you can move points, as you desired.

### 1/5 — This is traumatizing

*2022-07-07*

What the actual heck

### 4/5 — can you add templates

*2020-03-02*

Can you add templates that are on a list that have different shapes, also can you add a solid Tesseract mode where you just build with solid tesseracts, kinda like 4 dimenstinal Minecraft

Also can you add a slices mode where you see 3D slices of the 4 dimensional build and the shapes can be solid

### 5/5 — Cool

*2016-09-22, version 1.4.2*

Cool

### 3/5 — Great app but missing a few things

*2016-06-27*

I love creating sacred geometry in 4D but would be even better if I could make the grid to what ever size I want and maybe a group select to move everything at once other than that it's absolutely great

### 4/5 — Great App

*2015-01-02*

It's the only free 4d graphing utility currently available for iOS. It has great functionality, but needs improvement with the controls. Every time I try to move a point it either rotates the display or moves another point or moves on the wrong axis. This makes it very difficult to use the app. It would also be nice to be able to be able to manually adjust the numeric coordinates of each point. Zooming functionality is missing and that might make it easier to move points precisely. Other than that, really great app. The 4d rotational functions are a great feature.

### 5/5 — 😊

*2014-11-25, version 1.0.1*

Интересная штука)) зачёт!

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.12 — 2025-12-04

– Revised code for selecting and dragging points. Optionally displays the selected point’s coordinates.
– Minor changes for better legibility on iOS/iPadOS/macOS 26.

### 1.11 — 2025-05-25

– 4D Draw runs on iOS, iPadOS and now on macOS too. The file format is the same, so you can view and edit your drawings on all three platforms interchangeably.
– Press and hold a drawing's icon in the 4D Draw file browser on iOS to share its vector-graphic source code by Mail, Messages, AirDrop, or Save to Files. On macOS you can send the .draw4d file in those same ways, by selecting it within the relevant apps.
– Share PNG images of your drawings in all ways imaginable: Mail, Messages, AirDrop, Save to Files, Copy, and others. 
– Updated for iOS 17+
– Note: iOS's document picker sometimes leaves a spinning wait cursor visible over the icon of a recently saved drawing. It's annoying but harmless — your drawing really has been saved and you can ignore that wait cursor which will go away when you re-open that drawing or another one.

### 1.10.2 — 2024-11-06

Re-compiled for iOS 18.1 compatibility

### 1.10.1 — 2023-10-26

Removes temporary code needed to work around a bug in iOS 17.0.x. This new version runs correctly on iOS 15, 16 and 17.1 or later.

### 1.10 — 2023-10-03

– Adjusted navigation bar for iOS 17 compatibility.
– When running on iOS 17, the navigation bar includes a drop-down menu that lets you
  • export your drawing's source code
  • rename your drawing (However, on iOS 17.0.2 the navigation bar sometimes reverts to the old name.)
– Saves exported images to folder "Exported Images/{drawing name}/".
– Optionally exports drawings with transparent background.
