Sketch, Doodle and Design to Scale Use Archisketch as you would a tracing pad. Sketch. Draw to scale. Layer over your sketch to further develop your ideas. Erase. Add symbols, colour, text and dimension lines. Import images or plans to set the scale. Zoom in without loss of quality. Rotate a shape, a layer, or the entire drawing to try different options. Visualize your ideas in 3D and see them in context. Use smart one- and two-point perspectives, and adjust your perspective grid and view point. Align your perspective to an image, and your lines automatically snap to the vanishing point. Print your drawings to scale up to A1 size, or export sketches to use in a CAD application or Adobe Creative Cloud. Archisketch is a scale-aware sketching program ideal for Architects, interior and landscape designers, product designers, design students, or anyone working with design on an iPad.

RenoPlan helps anyone -- whether home contractors, interior designers, sales reps, architects, DIYers -- to quickly and accurately measure residential homes or office buildings to create floor plans and project estimates. The app can handle just about measuring jobs, like room drawings, doors, windows, kitchen countertops/cabinets, tubs, and showers. RenoPlan makes it easy for your renovation, remodeling and restoration projects. As you create your plan, the app automatically calculates floor, wall areas and perimeters of room areas so as to estimate product usages. This can mean big savings for your projects. It is handy to create estimates and invoices with attached floor plan diagrams and photos, so professionals like contractors can win a job and get client signatures on the spot. And when the job is done, send an invoice to the client to get paid faster. RenoPlan leverages your device's powerful AR (ARKit) and LiDAR capabilities to measure room in seconds, which will be very handy in the accuracy-insensitive scenarios. For professional projects, RenoPlan is integrated with Leica Disto, Bosch, and DeWalt laser meters, capable of measuring room quickly and accurately. With the app, you can also markup and attach site measurements and photos, which can be included in a professional report. Supported laser models: - Leica Disto D1, D2, E7100i - Bosch GLM 50C, 100C, 120C, 150C, 400C, 400CL - DeWALT DW099S, DW0165S, DW0330S - Moasure One (New)
