Super intuitive Little App

This has got to be one of the most intuitive apps I’ve ever used for any design work. Period.
And considering the very small size of the app, I’m actually amazed how powerful it actually is.
I’ve been looking into numerous alternatives to design my garden shed, which I’m intending to build before long, and this little fantastic app does exactly what I was looking and hoping for.
Now, if I can only figure out how to create the advertised master build PDF, I’d be in heaven 🙂
