Arrette Sketch drafting tools vs Structure Graphing

Rated #1 Technical App for Architects by ArchDaily! Arrette Sketch for iPad is an app for designers who want to draw freehand while maintaining a measurable drawing scale like vector drafting tools. Architects, urban planners, surveyors, home remodelers, field archaeologists and dozens of other kinds of professionals will find this app useful. Unlike other vector drawing tools, Arrette Sketch is simple to learn and use. Arrette Sketch is the basic version of Arrette Scale for iPad, available separately in the iTunes App Store. Compared to our professional version, Arrette Sketch is limited only in three ways: 1) distance and area measurement tools are disabled, 2) Edge drawing tools are disabled, and 3) users cannot export to PDF for sharing. For those functions, ideally suited for professionals working in business, Arrette Scale is the appropriate tool. Arrette Philosophy Arrette provides the platform to begin design work and generate ideas without moving too quickly to rigid straight lines and curves. We want to help you draw much as you would normally draw on paper, but to give you the extra tools and ways to share your work that make your life easier and make the design process simpler and more productive. The basic drawing structure is a familiar one - drawing layers which can be overlayed on a base image. The Grid keeps you aware of the size of what you're drawing at any scale. When you're ready, you can easily share drawings by email or save them to your device. We've designed Arrette to be extremely easy to learn. In a few minutes, you'll understand how to zoom and scale your canvas, draw lines, and load base images to work on top of. Our tools will seem familiar from other structured drawing applications, but every tool we've built has been simplified and optimized with scale in mind. Uses for Arrette Sketch for iPad: * An urban designer drafts plans for a new sub-division in a small town * A real estate agent snaps a photograph of a living space and begins to sketch out ideas for staging * A new home owner sketches the plan for an elaborate garden in the back yard * A construction manager notes progress on a work site, sending annotated precision-scale documents back to the general contractor live from the work site For these uses Arrette Sketch is a great tool for drawing freehand scale sketches, whether at home, on the go, or at work. For professional work, which includes sharing original Arrette documents for review, annotation, and modification, Arrette Scale is better suited for those purposes. Included drawing tools in Arrette Sketch (free application): * Freehand drawing pens that scale like vector lines but are as easy to use as pencil and paper * An adjustable grid system that you can easily flip between the metric system and decimal feet * The ability to load base images to draw on top of; base images respect their original scale and direction when the document is zoomed or panned * A lasso tool to select, move, copy and paste previously drawn lines * Layers, for separating out parts of composite objects or for adding new ideas to an existing document that overlay earlier designs * An eraser tool, for revising your designs or removing objects from previous work * The ability to adjust the width of all lines globally even after the lines have been drawn Additional professional features in Arrette Scale (available separately): * A tool for drawing perfectly straight lines, arrays of parallel lines, arcs and circles * Distance and area measurement tools for measuring the lengths, perimeters and areas of arbitrary pathways in your drawing at precise scale Document sharing features in Arrette Sketch: * Save your work to your Photo Gallery * Share raster versions of your work with anyone via email, Twitter, or Facebook Additional sharing features in Arrette Scale: * Send PDFs with scale and direction information to colleagues, clients, and other parties via email

Structure is a graphing app for professionals. With a variety of shapes, markers and more, Structure is the perfect tool for anyone looking to graph their next project. Structure allows users to graph shapes, calculate area and linear feet, color code shapes, add markers to indicate areas of interest and export the final output to a PNG or PDF. Whether you're a professional in need of a graphing tool or an enthusiast looking to graph your latest home project, Structure is for you. ## Features There are multiple objects that can be added to a graph. Square - A square is a four sided shape that has four lines at 90 degree angles. Dragging a corner will scale the shape in both height and width. Shape - A shape is dynamic and can have any number of points. By default, a shape has four points. Double tapping a line will add an additional point. Points can also be removed by tapping a line and then using the action menu in the bottom right corner of the screen. Dragging a corner will not impact the other corners in the shape. Circle - A circle can be added with a radius of any size. Ovals are coming soon. Lines - A line can be added as a solid line, a dotted line or an arrow. Text - A text label can be added to the graph, with a limit of 32 characters. Rectangles and structures each have an option to name a graph, which creates a text label within the shape. Markers - Markers can be added to indicate areas of interest. Markers can be customized to your needs and can also include images. Attaching images to markers is only available to Premium users. Objects - Objects can be added to indicate real-world items, such as trees, bushes, flowers and more. New objects are being added with each new release. Objects for the interior and exterior of a home are coming soon. Each shape can be customized (line width, line color, background color, etc.) by double tapping the shape or using the action menu in the bottom right corner of the screen while the shape is selected. More objects coming soon! ## Premium The Structure Premium subscription gives users additional features and cloud storage for $4.99 per month.
