OrthoGraph Architect (iPad) - OrthoGraph is the only CAD application for the iPad that lets users sketch and then create a survey for the production of detailed floor plans with continuous graphic feedback on the fly. The unique approach of OrthoGraph is first to build up a hierarchical structure of building elements (land-plots, stories, rooms and room parts), and then each building element can be first drawn, just like using a pen and paper, afterwards, linked to the survey you can push the walls and corners around based on the measured data. This way creating a floor plan takes only few minutes, and the result is a complete building survey, including an accurate plan, calculated areas, perimeter and detailed reports on the rooms.
Although OrthoGraph is a professional tool for all architects, building surveyors and facility managers, creating drawings is merely "child's play". If you are just renovating an apartment, planning a move to a new home or if you only want to see if your new furniture will fit into a room, you can create an accurate drawing in minutes. No need to learn difficult CAD software: every movement is simple, fast and natural.
OrthoGraph is scalable from one room to a group of facilities:
· Detailed building structure
· Unlimited number of rooms can be handled
· Sketching rooms, even difficult ones in a natural way, just like with a pen and paper
· Fine-tune floor plans, drag any corners, add housing
· Enter the surveyed distances between any corners
· Create hotspots to help create a survey for the exact floor-plan
· Update the drawing in accordance with measured distances
· Attaching rooms to each-other – “Floating Island” functionality
· Measured and unmeasured points are shown differently
· Doors and windows handled
· A predefined set of objects are available
· Provides detailed reports on all rooms and building parts
Users benefits:
ARCHITECTS
· Floor Plan survey in minutes
· All measurements reflected on the spot, no need to go back for updates
· No more inaccurate or forgotten measurements
INTERIOR DESIGNERS
· Measure only those building parts that are related to your actual tasks
· Accurate floor-plans accelerate creating your CAD model in your office.
PAINTERS
· Measuring the floor plan and inputting the wall openings is very easy
· Reports show the exact surface areas, so you can estimate the budget for your work.
· No more questions or guesses on how much paint will be needed.
CARPENTERS
· Not all corners are perpendicular. OrthoGraph lets you measure everything accurately.
· Drawings can go into any detail, extending them anytime with new corners or housing
EVERYDAY PEOPLE
· Draw a floor plan as never before. Any mistakes can easily be corrected, corners can be added, deleted or moved.
· Take the measurements and any errors will turn out at the moment you enter the data.
· Estimate and plan your painting or renovation costs, or even how much carpet you need, based on exact figures.
OrthoGraph is a must have tool for all architects, real estate agents, engineers, construction workers, carpenters, painters and for all those planning to renovate their home.
What's New in This Release:
· picture export is now IOS6 compatible
· new picture export feature: you can now change the exported picture's resolution among 4 predefined levels: small, medium, large, extra large
What's New in 3.6:
· support of Leica Bluetooth laser distance meters (facilitated by a bluetooth bridge - separate device!)
· enhanced 3D engine (smoother rendering, freely resizable objects, accurate 2D-3D matches, nicer models)
· label visibility switch
· minor fixes
What's New in 3.0.3:
· Totally rebuilt draw and survey methodology to support drawing of connecting multiple rooms. OrthoGraph brings building surveyors to the lightspeed!
What's New in 3.0.2:
· built in tutorial and help - tap the "?" if you need help
· show/hide floorings in 2D editing view, so every room can be furnished like you were looking at it from above
· door/window dimensions displayed on the floor plan in 2D
· by moving a point referred in measurements will update all related points keeping measurements and drawing valid
· minor enhancements.
What's New in 3.0.0:
· instant 3D walkthrough
· PDF room book
· send files and images via e-mail
· new object types like toilet, basin, stairs and many more. Available also in 3D
· French localization
· enhanced graphical update algorithms
· handling of floorings and coverings
· freely movable and resizable wall openings directly with your finger
· Pointcloud data supported through PointCab's LSE format natively
· grid background and many more
What's New in 2.1.3:
· Snap to angles is now available when moving corners of drawings,
· Many new object types are available like shower, sink, drawer and many more,
· Objects can be measured, exactly placed
What's New in 2.1.2:
· Draw difficult rooms simply from scratch using the new "Measure During Sketch" feature!
· Objects are resized on floor-plan graphically as defined by their properties.
What's New in 2.1:
· Assign wall sides: accelerating the creation of floor plans, helps users to assign two sides of walls by just one movement of the finger (works also by such walls where there is now window or door)
· All measurements and data entering has gone into 3 digits precision. This means in metric measurements mm details in inch 1000th of an inch
· Supporting point cloud based images (3D point clouds flattened as a background), scanned blueprints or photos shoot with the camera of the iPad as a background of surveys. We support this background feature assignable to physical tree structure elements, so it is very easy to use even by large, multi-level buildings. The digitization of existing paper based floor-plans into CAD software has never been easier.
· New language versions on the iPad: German, Italian, Hungarian languages.
· Many bug repairs, graphical update based on surveyed data improved a lot
· Users manual has a new step-by-step section, probably the most useful section ever
· New users manual is created for the ArchiCAD import module
What's New in 2.0.2:
· Minor update: Bug fixes, SketchUp Support enhanced with 3D bodies
