Precision

Measurements the whole crew can trust

Set the scale once and measure anything: spans, runs, areas. Layout questions get answered at the wall in seconds instead of back at the trailer, and takeoff checks happen on the spot.

  • Scale-accurate measurements on any sheet
  • Span and distance measuring in feet and inches
  • Area takeoffs for quick quantity checks
  • Photo pins tie site reality to the drawing
  • Every markup saved as a layer, original untouched

Revision control

Revisions without casualties

Upload the new set and the old one is superseded everywhere at once. Every device shows the current revision, the old sheets are archived, not deleted, and nobody builds a wall from drawing rev B on a rev C job.

  • New revisions push to every device instantly
  • Superseded sheets archived with full history
  • Markups carry forward where they still apply
  • See which revision anyone is looking at
  • The rev B wall never gets built

Common drawings & markups questions

Questions, answered straight

Can my crew see drawings on their phones?

Yes. The full current set works on every phone and tablet, iOS and Android, built for field conditions: pinch, zoom, measure and mark up on the sheet.

Can I measure on the drawings?

Yes. Set the scale and measure spans, runs and areas directly on the sheet, scale-accurate, in feet and inches.

What happens when a new revision comes in?

Upload it and every device updates instantly. Old sheets are superseded and archived with history, so nobody builds from an outdated drawing.

Can I put photos on a drawing?

Yes. Drop a photo pin exactly where the issue is, and the site photo lives on the sheet at that location.

Do markups change the original drawing?

No. Markups save as a layer on top. The original sheet stays untouched underneath.
