Projects

One project for each home.

Name it, type the address, and the home shows from above. Interior, Exterior, Roof and Fence live inside it, with notes, the totals and a camera on every page. Pin the homes you're working on to the top.

Start a Project

One for each home: everything you draw and shoot lives in it.

Tips
  • Tap +, name the project and type the address. Pick it from the list and the home shows from above.
  • Inside: Interior, Exterior, Roof and Fence, a camera on every page, and one PDF of it all.
  • A detached garage or shed? Add Structure keeps its rooms, walls, roof and fence together.
Interior

Rooms, measured three ways.

Walk a room with the LiDAR scanner (iPhone Pro models), tap its corners with the camera on any iPhone, or draw the walls yourself. Either way you get the floor plan, a 3D model and every wall drawn flat with its doors and windows.

A room's plan: every wall's length, the doors and windows, the area

Add the Next Room
