Account & Billing
If you subscribed through the App Store, go to Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions on your device, find Measure Tech PRO, and tap Cancel. If you subscribed through Stripe on the web dashboard, open the Billing page and cancel through the Stripe billing portal. Your access continues until the end of the current billing period.
Premium features are locked and you return to the free tier. Your projects and data are not deleted. Local projects remain on your device. If you had cloud storage enabled, projects are moved back to local storage automatically.
Open the Account screen and tap Restore Purchases. This checks your Apple ID for any active subscriptions and restores access immediately. Make sure you are signed into the same Apple ID you used to purchase.
Solo / Small Crew gives one user access to all premium features including unlimited layouts, reports, AR measure, level, cloud storage, and photo markup. Business / Team includes everything in Solo plus team management, project sharing, cloud documents, presence indicators, markets, and 3 team seats with the option to add more.
Free trials are offered through the App Store when available. The trial length and availability depend on Apple's current offering. You can check by tapping Upgrade in the Account screen.
Yes. Go to Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions on your device. Select Measure Tech PRO and choose the yearly option. The switch takes effect at the end of your current billing period. Yearly plans are discounted compared to monthly.
No. Solo / Small Crew and Business / Team plans are available as monthly or yearly subscriptions only.
Yes. The web dashboard at measuretechpro.com supports Stripe checkout for Business plans and seat bundles. Stripe billing is separate from the App Store and manages your subscription through a Stripe billing portal. Both billing paths provide identical feature access.
Open Team Management and tap 'Add Seats'. Choose a bundle: +1 ($79/yr), +5 ($349/yr), +10 ($599/yr), or +25 ($999/yr). Seats can also be purchased through the web dashboard via Stripe. For Enterprise plans with unlimited seats, contact hello@measuretechpro.com.
Open Account > Company Info, or type the company info command. Enter your company name, contact details, address, and upload your logo. This information appears on all generated reports and persists across projects.
Open Account > My Info and enable MFA. The app supports authenticator app codes (TOTP). Once enabled, you need to enter a verification code in addition to your password when signing in.
Open Account > My Info and tap Delete Account at the bottom. This permanently removes your account, personal data, and user-scoped preferences. If you are a team admin, contact support first โ€” deleting the admin account affects all team members.
TeamTeam & Collaboration
Open Account > Team & Markets. Tap the invite button and enter the person's email. They will receive an invite they can accept from within the app. You can also generate a shareable link invite for collaborators.
Collaborators have read-only access to the specific projects they are assigned to. They can view layouts, photos, and documents but cannot edit drawings, modify project data, or access team management features. Collaborators do not consume a team seat.
Yes. Collaborators can upload photos and videos to a dedicated Collaborator Photos section within assigned projects. Uploads are tagged with the collaborator's name and stored separately from the main project gallery.
Yes. Collaborators can add markup annotations to both their own uploaded photos and main project photos. Markup syncs in real time, so the team sees annotations as they are drawn. Each markup item shows who created it.
Open Team Management, find the collaborator in the member list, and remove them. Removal is immediate โ€” the collaborator loses access to all assigned projects on your team. Their uploaded photos and markup remain in the projects.
All team members remain on the team but premium features are locked for everyone. No data is deleted. Members see a 'Team (Expired)' status. When the admin renews, everything unlocks again automatically.
A market is an organizational grouping within your team. Admins can create markets to separate projects by region, division, or any other category. Team members can be assigned to specific markets to control which projects they see.
The Business plan includes 3 team seats by default. You can purchase additional seats in bundles (+1, +5, +10, or +25) from the Team Management screen or the web dashboard. Collaborators do not consume a seat, so you can add unlimited read-only viewers. For Enterprise plans with unlimited seats, contact sales.
Managers can edit permissions for members and collaborators but cannot change team-wide settings like manufacturer visibility, integration toggles, or feature availability. Only the admin can promote someone to manager. Managers cannot modify the admin or other managers.
Open Team Management, scroll to the Admin Settings card, and tap any member under Member Permissions. You can toggle individual capabilities (University, Integrations, Reports, Tags, Projects) or apply a preset template like Full Access, Field Tech, or View Only.
Yes. In Admin Settings > Feature Availability, you can toggle off any of 9 features: AR Measure, Level Tool, Elevation Scanner, Multi-Capture Camera, Photo Markup, Command Bar, Review Dashboard, Share to Team, and Live Editing. Disabled features are completely hidden from team members. The admin always retains access.
Green bolt = Active (recent activity, members assigned). Blue checkmark = Healthy (good completion rate). Orange warning = Attention (no members, low completion, or going stale). Red clock = Stale (no activity in 14+ days). Gray dashed circle = Empty (no projects yet). Health is calculated automatically from project activity, completion rates, and member assignments.
When a team member is actively editing a layout, the app places a temporary edit lock on that layout. The lock expires after 10 seconds of inactivity so it never permanently blocks access. This prevents two people from overwriting each other's changes on the same layout.
Each team member works on their own layout independently thanks to per-layout edit locks. If a sync conflict occurs, the app presents a Sync Conflict dialog where you choose to keep the local or cloud version. The conflict resolution is always explicit โ€” the app never silently overwrites your work.
Yes. Every admin action โ€” permission updates, role changes, settings changes, and feature toggles โ€” is recorded in the audit trail. The five most recent entries appear in the Recent Changes section of the Admin Settings card. Audit entries are immutable and cannot be deleted.
Team stickers are custom images your admin uploads to a shared sticker catalog. They appear in the Photo Markup sticker picker alongside built-in symbols. Use them for company logos, approval stamps, damage markers, or any visual annotation your team needs consistently. Up to 100 stickers per team.
Only admins can manage team stickers. Open Team Management, scroll to Team Stickers, and tap 'Add Sticker'. Import from Photos or the Files app. Stickers are resized to 200ร—200px and sync to all team members automatically.
Yes. The Measure Tech PRO web dashboard provides team administration, billing management, project browsing, and business tools from any browser. Sign in with the same credentials as your iOS app. The dashboard is role-based โ€” admins see all features, members see projects and gallery.
Yes. The Project Map displays all team projects as pins on an interactive map, geocoded from their addresses. Market boundaries appear as colored overlays. You can select multiple pins to plan an optimized driving route between sites. Available on both iOS and the web dashboard.
Yes. Over 50 workspace preferences โ€” grid colors, label styles, toolbar order, report settings, and more โ€” sync automatically via Firestore. When you sign in on a new device, your preferences load automatically. The cloud version wins if it is newer than the local version.
Yes. Collaborators can upload videos up to 60 seconds long to the Collaborator Photos section of assigned projects. Videos are stored as .mov files in Firebase Storage. The team can view and download them from the project gallery.
Yes. The Payroll section manages workers (W-2 employees and 1099 contractors), timesheets with automatic overtime detection, pay runs with federal/state tax calculations, and reports. It supports 15 trade classifications with pre-configured workers comp rates and all 50 state tax rates. Admin and Manager access only.
The Schedule section provides project timeline management with phases, milestones, and three views: Gantt chart, Calendar, and Crew. Five pre-built templates (Residential Remodel, New Construction, Roofing, Windows & Siding, Bathroom Remodel) help you get started quickly. Supports Google Calendar sync and CSV export.
Yes. Business Tools are available on both the iOS app and the web dashboard. Create professional estimates with auto-numbered IDs, line items, and tax calculations. Estimates follow a status workflow: Draft โ†’ Sent โ†’ Accepted / Declined โ†’ Invoiced. Invoices work similarly with due dates, partial payment tracking, and automatic overdue detection. Solo paid users and team users can access Business Tools from the app's main menu.
The Accounts Receivable Aging Report in the Payments section breaks outstanding invoices into aging buckets: Current, 1-30 days, 31-60 days, 61-90 days, and 90+ days past due. It helps you identify overdue balances and prioritize collections. Only invoices with remaining balances are included.
Admins see all 17 sections. Managers see team, markets, projects, customers, estimates, invoices, payments, payroll, schedule, review, gallery, map, and settings. Members see projects, customers, estimates, schedule, gallery, map, and settings. Collaborators see projects, gallery, map, resources, and settings only.
ProjectsProjects & Storage
By default, projects are saved to local storage on your device. Premium users can enable cloud storage through iCloud Drive or a third-party cloud folder. Cloud-stored projects sync across devices signed into the same account.
Yes. Enable cloud storage in Account > Project Storage. You can choose the app's built-in iCloud container or select a custom folder in iCloud Drive, Google Drive, Dropbox, or another cloud provider.
Open the project, then use the Projects browser menu to export. Projects export as a portable .mtech file that includes all layouts (Grid, Sketch, Document, Elevation, Drafting), photos, tags, notes, and metadata.
From the Projects browser, use the import option to load a previously exported project file. You can also open an exported file from the Files app, email attachment, or use the Share Extension from any app.
Local projects are stored in the app's document directory. Deleting the app removes local projects permanently. If you use cloud storage, your projects are preserved in the cloud folder. Always export important projects before deleting the app.
There is no limit on the number of projects you can create on any plan. The free tier limits layouts to 1 per project, but you can have unlimited projects. Premium plans allow unlimited layouts per project as well.
Yes. Projects auto-save regularly as you work. If the app closes unexpectedly, your most recent auto-saved state is preserved. Use the history command to view the project timeline.
Live (connected, syncing in real time), Syncing (actively uploading or downloading changes), Offline (no internet, changes queued), or Error (connection issue โ€” close and reopen the project). Offline changes sync automatically when connectivity returns.
In any app with a Share button (Files, Mail, Safari, Photos), tap Share and select Measure Tech PRO. The file is saved and the app opens to process it. This is the fastest way to get blueprints, PDFs, or reference images into your project.
DrawingDrawing & Editing
Tap the undo button in the toolbar or type the undo command. You can undo multiple steps. Use redo to reapply an undone change. Undo history is per-layout โ€” switching layouts doesn't affect the undo stack.
Check if the grid is locked. A lock icon in the toolbar indicates editing is disabled. Tap it or type unlock to re-enable drawing. Also make sure you have a draw tool selected (grid draw or pencil draw), not the erase or fill tool.
Snap mode constrains drawn lines to specific angles. Straight snap locks to horizontal and vertical lines. Diagonal snap adds 45-degree angles. Turn snap off for fully freehand placement. Use snap s, snap d, or snap off.
Grid draw snaps to the grid cells and is ideal for structured floor plans with straight walls. Pencil draw is freehand and supports shape-assisted modes like rectangle, circle, arch, and arrow for more complex outlines. Both modes draw on the same canvas.
First, draw a closed shape on the grid. Then switch to the fill tool using the fill command or toolbar button. Tap the closed shape to open the texture picker. Browse material categories and select a texture to apply it.
Pencil draw supports shape-assisted modes: freehand (f), arrow (arr), square (s), rectangle (r), oval (o), threesided (u), circle (c), halfcircle (hc), halfeyebrow (he), and arch (a). Set the shape with pencil <shape>. The recognition engine refines your rough gesture into a clean shape.
Fill textures include: solid colors with a custom color picker, brick (running, basket, English, Flemish bond), wood (grain and plank styles), stone, tile, concrete, stucco, metal, glass, fabric, roofing, siding, landscaping, water, blinds, synthetic, and asphalt. Use fill to open the texture picker.
Overlays let you import an image or PDF to display behind your drawing as a reference layer. Use overlay import to add one, overlay show / overlay hide to toggle visibility, and overlay remove to delete it. Overlays are purely visual references for tracing.
Style presets save a complete color scheme (selected color, line color, closed-shape color, background color) into one of six slots. Tap a preset to load its colors instantly. Long-press a slot to save the current colors. Presets persist across sessions and appear in the Customize screen.
When an Apple Pencil is connected, the app automatically enables palm rejection so your resting hand does not create unwanted marks. You can toggle this behavior in Settings. The app detects the Pencil via UIPencilInteraction.
LayoutsLayout Types
Five layout types: Grid (structured floor plans with snap and tags), Sketch (freehand PencilKit drawing with 8 tools on an 8192ร—8192 px canvas), Document (page-based annotation with paper sizes), Elevation (AI-powered exterior scanning), and Drafting (CAD-style drawing with layers, snap, ortho lock, and DXF export). Tap the + button to see all types with visual previews.
Use Grid for structured floor plans where walls follow a cell grid โ€” it gives you snap, fill textures, and tag support. Use Sketch for freehand drawing where you need complete freedom: detail drawings, quick field sketches, annotations. Grid is better for geometry; Sketch is better for expression.
Use Document for page-based writing and annotation: scope notes, checklists, specifications, meeting notes. Use Drafting for precision technical drawing: floor plans, shop drawings, architectural details. Document uses PencilKit tools; Drafting uses CAD tools with layers, snap, and DXF export.
Sketch layouts use Apple's PencilKit and offer 8 drawing tools: pen (smooth strokes), marker (translucent highlights), pencil (textured graphite), monoline (uniform width), fountain pen (pressure calligraphy), watercolor ink (blending washes), eraser (remove strokes), and lasso (select/move/copy/resize). Each tool supports color, opacity, and line width.
Sketch and Document layouts support 6 background patterns: blank, lined, grid, dot grid, graph paper, and isometric. Choose a background when creating the layout. Use isometric for 3D views, graph paper for scaled drawings, lined for notes.
Document layouts support standard page sizes: Letter (8.5ร—11"), Legal (8.5ร—14"), A4 (210ร—297mm), and Tabloid (11ร—17"). Multiple pages are supported with visible page break separators.
The Elevation Scanner uses AI (Firebase Gemini 2.5 Flash) to analyze photos of building exteriors. Capture a straight-on photo, and the AI identifies windows, doors, siding, trim, and structural elements, generating an interactive blueprint overlay. You can edit detected elements and add measurement tags. An internet connection is required.
Capture a clear, straight-on photo of the building exterior. Good natural lighting produces the best results โ€” avoid heavy shadows or glare. Stand far enough back to capture the full facade in one shot. Avoid extreme angles. The AI works with residential, commercial, and mixed-use buildings.
Yes. A single project can contain any combination of Grid, Sketch, Document, Elevation, and Drafting layouts. For example, use Grid for the floor plan, Elevation for the front and back, Sketch for detail drawings, Document for scope notes, and Drafting for the shop drawing. All layouts appear in the generated report.
DraftingDrafting (CAD)
The Drafting layout has 19 tools in four groups. Drawing: Select, Line, Polyline, Rectangle, Circle, Arc, Construction Line. Modification: Move, Offset, Rotate, Mirror, Copy, Trim, Extend, Fillet. Annotation: Dimension, Angular Dimension, Leader, Text.
Construction lines are infinite reference lines drawn as dashed lines on the canvas. They are placed on the non-printable Construction layer by default, so they appear while you work but do not show in PDF or PNG exports. Use them to set up alignment guides, reference axes, or layout baselines before drawing final geometry.
Six snap types: Grid Snap (yellow crosshair โ€” snaps to grid points), Endpoint Snap (green square โ€” snaps to line ends), Midpoint Snap (green triangle โ€” snaps to line midpoints), Intersection Snap (green X โ€” snaps to where entities cross), Perpendicular Snap, and Center Snap (green circle โ€” snaps to circle/arc centers). Enable or disable each type in Snap Settings.
Ortho Lock constrains all drawing and movement to strictly horizontal or vertical directions. Enable it from the toolbar when you need clean right-angle geometry. When Ortho Lock is on, you cannot draw diagonal lines โ€” all strokes snap to 0 or 90 degrees.
Four default layers: Walls (white, weight 2.0), Dimensions (cyan, weight 0.5), Construction (gray, non-printing), and Notes (green, weight 0.5). Tap a layer name to make it active โ€” all new entities go on the active layer. Toggle visibility (eye icon), lock (lock icon), and printable (printer icon) per layer. Long-press a layer name to rename it.
Five unit systems: Feet-Inches (default, e.g. 12'-3.5"), Inches (e.g. 147.5"), Millimeters (e.g. 3745 mm), Centimeters (e.g. 374.5 cm), and Meters (e.g. 3.745 m). Set units from the toolbar before drawing. Units affect dimension labels, coordinate display, and DXF export.
Seven scale presets: 1:1 Full Scale, 1/4"=1'-0", 1/8"=1'-0", 1/2"=1'-0", 1"=1'-0" (architectural scales), 1:50, and 1:100 (metric scales). Scale affects how dimensions display and how DXF exports are interpreted by desktop CAD software.
Five line types: Solid (continuous line), Dashed (8px dash + 4px gap), Dot-Dash (dash-gap-dot-gap), Center (long dash-short dash), and Hidden (short dash, typically for non-visible edges). Line types are preserved in DXF export.
Tap the export menu in the toolbar and choose Export DXF. The file includes all visible and printable layers, geometry, coordinates, dimensions, and text with 6-decimal precision. Layer names are preserved. Open the DXF file in AutoCAD, SketchUp, or any other CAD software.
Three formats: DXF (fully editable in CAD software, preserves layers and coordinates), PDF (professional print quality with title block, border, and scaling), and PNG (2048px raster image for quick sharing). All exports include a title block with project name, scale, units, and date. Only visible, printable layers are included.
Select the Dimension tool from the toolbar, then drag between two points. A dimension line with the measured distance appears. For angles, use the Angular Dimension tool and tap three points (center, then two rays). Dimensions display in your selected unit system. You can override the dimension text from the Properties panel.
Select the Offset tool from the toolbar, then tap the entity you want to offset. Drag to set the distance and direction of the parallel copy. Offset works on lines, polylines, and shapes, creating a parallel duplicate at the specified distance. Useful for drawing wall thicknesses or parallel structures.
Mirror flips selected entities across an axis line you drag โ€” like reflecting in a mirror. The original entities are replaced by their mirrored version. Copy duplicates selected entities and lets you drag the copy to a new position โ€” the original stays in place. Use Mirror for symmetric designs; use Copy for repeating elements.
Tap the keyboard icon in the toolbar to expand the coordinate input row. Type exact coordinates in two formats: Cartesian (x,y) for absolute positioning, or relative polar (@distance<angle) for distance and direction from the current point. Press Enter to apply. This works with Line, Circle, Text, and Move tools.
TagsTags & Labels
Use tag windows (or tag w) or tag doors (or tag d) in the command bar, or select the tag tool from the toolbar. Tap on the layout where the opening is located to place the tag. A detail sheet opens for entering dimensions, style, material, and notes.
Yes. Open a tag's detail sheet and tap the copy button in the header. Then open another tag of the same type and a Paste menu appears. Choose Paste All (size, style, notes), Paste Size Only, Paste Style Only, or Paste Notes Only. The clipboard persists during your session so you can paste to multiple tags.
When you set a tag's quantity to more than one, it creates a quantity group of linked sibling tags. All siblings share the same name, size, and style. Use the chevron arrows in the tag detail header to navigate between siblings, even across layouts. You can edit the group quantity to add or remove siblings, or ungroup a tag to detach it.
Mull configuration defines how multi-unit window or door assemblies are arranged โ€” when multiple units are joined with mull bars. Open the mull editor from a tag's detail sheet. Four layout types: Ribbon (side-by-side), Stack (top-to-bottom), Matrix (rows and columns), and Custom (asymmetric). Six quick-start templates provide common patterns.
In a tag's mull configuration, enter the Rough Opening (R.O.) width and height โ€” the hole in the wall for the assembly. Set clearance using presets (1/4", 3/8", 1/2", 3/4" imperial; 3mm, 6mm, 10mm, 13mm metric) or a custom value. Frame size = R.O. minus clearance. Use 'Set R.O. from units' to calculate back from individual unit dimensions.
Yes. Each tag has a Photos section in its detail sheet. Tap the camera button to quick-capture a photo attached to that specific tag. Tag photos are stored separately from the main gallery and appear alongside the tag's measurements in reports.
Each tag label's appearance is customizable: background color, border color, text color, font, font size, and alignment (left/center/right). Ten preset colors are available. Use labelstyle save to save the current style for reuse. Six style preset slots (Default, Blueprint, Warning, Clean White, Red Flag, Dark Mode) let you switch styles instantly.
Tags carry measurement data โ€” dimensions, style, material, notes, and photos. They appear in reports with their specifications. Pins are visual markers that indicate a location without measurement data. Use tags for openings you need to measure; use pins to mark features, damage, equipment, or points of interest.
The Pin Catalog includes over 130 pin types across 16 categories: Openings, Exterior, Roofing, Insulation, Electrical, HVAC, Plumbing, Cabinetry, Appliances, Furniture, Flooring, Landscaping, Safety, Structural, Damage/Issues, and Markers. 25 job presets auto-configure pins for specific trades. Up to 8 pins can be marked as favorites for quick access.
AIAI Assistant
The AI Assistant includes 19+ features: ask (code/spec questions), narrate (report narration), completeness (missing tag check), duplicates (redundant tag scan), scope (scope comparison), energy (energy code check), customer (client summary), patterns (ordering insights), fieldnotes (parse notes into tags). Powered by Firebase AI (Gemini 2.5 Flash).
Type completeness in the command bar. The AI scans all tags across every layout in your project and flags any that are missing measurements, incomplete, or potentially overlooked. Use this before leaving a job site to catch gaps.
Type fieldnotes followed by your observation โ€” e.g. fieldnotes kitchen has three double-hung windows 36 by 60 and one casement 24 by 48. The AI parses your text into structured tags with measurements. Tap the microphone button to dictate hands-free.
Type narrate in the command bar. The AI generates professional narration text for your report based on the project's tags, layouts, measurements, and notes. The narration provides a written summary suitable for client delivery.
Type scope followed by the scope text. The AI compares your project tags against the scope document and identifies discrepancies โ€” what is in the scope but not tagged, and what is tagged but not in the scope.
Type energy in the command bar. The AI analyzes energy code requirements based on your project's address from Project Info. It provides relevant information about insulation, glazing U-factors, and efficiency requirements for your climate zone.
Yes. Free: 5/day ยท 25/month. Solo / Small Crew: 30/day ยท 500/month. Business / Team: 100/day ยท 2,000/month. Auto-fill from photos uses a separate passive budget (Free: 3/day, Solo: 50/day, Business: 150/day). Limits reset daily. AI requires an internet connection and a premium subscription.
The AI uses Firebase AI (Gemini 2.5 Flash), which is cloud-based. An internet connection is required for all AI features. Voice input for the command bar uses on-device speech recognition (SFSpeechRecognizer) and does not require internet.
Yes. AI features are accessed through the command bar, so disabling the Command Bar in Feature Availability also disables AI commands for team members. The admin always retains access to all features.
When you add a photo to a tag, the AI automatically analyzes the image and suggests values for style, material, color, grid pattern, and condition. Suggestions appear in a banner at the top of the tag detail sheet โ€” tap Apply to accept or dismiss to ignore. Auto-fill uses a separate passive AI budget and does not count against your interactive AI limits. Toggle: Settings > AI Features > Auto-Fill From Photos (solo) or Admin > AI Features (team).
As you enter width and height on a tag, the app checks dimensions against industry standards and flags potential issues: egress code violations (residential IRC minimums), unusually large sizes that may indicate manufacturing limits, and order mismatches when dimensions differ from a linked EntryLink order. Warnings appear as orange or red banners below the dimension fields. This runs locally โ€” no AI credits used, works offline.
When you create a new tag with a default sequential name (e.g. "Window 3"), the app automatically generates a descriptive name based on the tag's properties โ€” for example "DH 36ร—60 Kitchen" for a double-hung window. Names update as you change style, dimensions, or location. This runs locally โ€” no AI credits used, works offline. Toggle: Settings > AI Features > Smart Tag Naming (solo) or Admin > AI Features (team).
Small icons appear on tag cards in the tag panel to indicate missing information: an orange ruler for missing width or height, a camera for no photos, and a map pin for no location. This helps you catch incomplete tags before leaving the job site. This runs locally โ€” no AI credits used, works offline. Toggle: Settings > AI Features > Completeness Nudges (solo) or Admin > AI Features (team).
Solo users: open Settings and scroll to the AI Features section. Each feature (Auto-Fill From Photos, Dimension Validation, Smart Tag Naming, Completeness Nudges) has its own toggle. Team users: the team admin controls these in Admin > AI Features on the Team Settings card, or via the web dashboard under AI Features. The admin can enable or disable each feature independently for the entire team.
ReportsReports
Use the report command to set a custom title and then generate, or generate report for auto-generation with the default title. You can also use review to open the Review Dashboard first to verify completeness. Premium subscription required.
Make sure photos are captured through the in-app camera or added to the project gallery. Only photos associated with the current project are included. Also check that the photos section is enabled in Customize. Videos are intentionally excluded from reports.
Yes. Open Customize and review the report toggles. You can enable or disable sections like photos, tags, measurements, and notes. You can also control watermark visibility and branding through Company Info.
Open Company Info from the Account menu or use the company info command. Upload your logo there. It will appear on generated reports along with your company name and contact details. A 500ร—500 pixel PNG works well.
Yes. After generating the report, the system share sheet appears. You can send the report via email, Messages, AirDrop, or save it to Files. The report is a standard PDF that any recipient can open.
Watermarks are applied on the free tier. Upgrade to Solo / Small Crew or Business / Team to disable watermarks. Once upgraded, toggle watermark visibility in the Customize screen.
Yes. The report includes all layouts in the project regardless of layout type โ€” Grid, Sketch, Document, Elevation, and Drafting are all rendered. Layouts appear in creation order. Name your layouts clearly (Kitchen, Living Room, Front Elevation) because the names become section headers.
The Review Dashboard shows all tags across every layout in your project in a single view. Open it with review. Filter by tag type, layout, or completion status to verify measurements before generating a report. It also shows an overall project completion percentage.
Yes. Use the narrate command. The AI generates professional narration text based on your project data, tags, measurements, and notes. Use customer for a client-friendly plain-language version.
CameraCamera & Media
Make sure you have granted camera permission to Measure Tech PRO in Settings > Privacy & Security > Camera. If the permission is already granted, try closing and reopening the camera view. If the issue persists, restart the app.
Open the photo in the gallery and tap the edit/markup button. Seven annotation tools are available: Draw (freehand), Box (rectangle highlight), Circle (circular highlight), Arrow (directional pointer), Text (editable label), Sticker (pre-made symbols), and Erase (remove annotations). Annotations are saved with the photo and appear in reports.
Multi-capture mode lets you take multiple photos and videos in a single camera session without closing the camera between each shot. A thumbnail strip at the bottom shows all captures. Tap Done to add all captures to the gallery at once, or Cancel to discard the entire session.
Yes. Switch to video mode in the multi-capture camera using the mode selector. Tap to start recording and tap again to stop. Videos are saved to the project gallery. Note that videos are not included in generated reports.
Team admins can create custom sticker sets that appear in the markup sticker tool for all team members. This allows standardized annotation symbols across the team โ€” company-branded markers, custom damage symbols, or trade-specific callouts.
There is no artificial limit on the number of photos per project. Practical limits depend on your device's available storage. For cloud-synced team projects, photos upload through a background queue that persists across app restarts.
Yes. All markup annotations (drawings, boxes, circles, arrows, text, stickers) are saved with the photo and persist across sessions. You can return to a photo and edit or add to existing annotations. Annotated photos appear with their annotations in generated reports.
ARAR & Level
AR Measure requires a device with a LiDAR scanner. This includes iPhone 12 Pro and later Pro models, and iPad Pro models with LiDAR (2020 and later). Non-LiDAR devices cannot use this feature and it will not appear in the interface.
Point the camera at the opening and wait for the tracking status to show Ready. Single-tap four corners of the opening to define a rectangle. Double-tap any corner for precision magnifier placement. Width and height display once all four points are placed. Move slowly and keep the device steady for best results.
Open the Pitch Level tool and tap the Calibrate button. Place your device on a known-level surface first for best results. Calibration zeros the sensor so future readings are relative to that baseline. Recalibrate if you notice drift.
LiDAR measurements are generally accurate within 1-2% at typical room distances (3-10 feet). Accuracy decreases at longer ranges, in bright sunlight, or on highly reflective surfaces. Use AR Measure for quick field verification rather than final specifications.
Yes. Open the Level tool, tap History, and use Export CSV. The file includes roll, pitch, combined angle, fraction, percentage, date, and your notes for each saved reading. The CSV opens directly in Excel, Numbers, or Google Sheets.
The level shows roll (side-to-side tilt), pitch (forward-backward tilt), and combined angle. Pitch is also expressed as a roofing fraction (e.g. 4/12 = 4 inches rise per 12 inches run) and as a percentage. The display turns green and provides haptic feedback when the surface is level.
Yes. The Pitch Level uses the device's accelerometer and gyroscope, not LiDAR. It works on all iPhones and iPads. LiDAR is only required for the AR Measure feature.
Up to 50 level readings can be saved per session. Each reading records roll, pitch, combined angle, fraction, percentage, date, and an optional note. Save readings with descriptive notes (e.g., 'Main roof, south face') to identify them later when exporting CSV.
CalculatorCalculator
Open the calculator from the toolbar button or with the calculator command. Three modes: Standard (basic arithmetic), Converter (unit conversions), and Sq Ft (area calculator). It stays available alongside your layout so you can calculate while measuring.
Switch to Fraction mode (toggle at the top of the Standard calculator). Enter values as 'whole fraction/denominator' โ€” for example, '3 1/2' for three and a half inches. The calculator converts fractions to decimals internally and displays results in both formats.
The unit converter supports 8 measurement units: Inches, Feet, Feet-Inches (e.g., 12'-3"), Fraction (inches as fractions), Decimal (inches as decimals), Millimeters, Centimeters, and Meters. Enter a value, select source and destination units, and the conversion updates in real time.
Switch to Sq Ft mode and enter width and height values. The calculator displays the area in square feet with a formula breakdown. Both decimal and fraction inputs are supported. Useful for quick room, wall, or opening area estimates in the field.
Yes. The calculator stores up to 50 recent calculations with timestamps. Open the history to recall previous results without recalculating. The calculator display and expression also persist between sessions.
No. The calculator is accessed exclusively from the toolbar button or the calculator command. There is no other command bar shortcut for the calculator.

Close other apps to free up memory. If a project has many photos, the gallery may take time to load. Try restarting the app. On older devices, keep the number of photos per project reasonable. Large Sketch canvases (8192ร—8192 px) use more memory than other layout types.
Check if you are on the correct layout โ€” the layout selector in the footer shows the active layout. If you accidentally cleared the drawing, use undo immediately to restore it. Auto-save preserves recent work in most cases.
Open Account and tap Restore Purchases. Make sure you are signed into the same Apple ID used for the purchase. Check Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions to confirm the subscription is active. Close and reopen the app after restoring.
Check your internet connection. Look at the sync status indicator in the header โ€” it shows Live, Syncing, Offline, or Error. If it shows Offline, the device has no connection. If it shows Error, try closing and reopening the project. Ensure iCloud is enabled in your device settings.
Photo uploads happen through a background queue. Check your internet connection and wait a few minutes. Large photo sets take time to upload. The queue persists โ€” if connectivity drops, it resumes automatically when the connection returns.
The Elevation Scanner requires an internet connection for AI processing (Firebase Gemini 2.5 Flash). Check your connection. For best results, capture a clear, straight-on photo with good lighting. Avoid extreme angles, heavy shadows, or partially obscured facades.
Verify that your Drafting layout units match what you expect in AutoCAD. The DXF includes INSUNITS metadata so CAD software should interpret units correctly. If scaling looks off, check the Drawing Scale setting. Layer names with special characters are sanitized (spaces become underscores, names are uppercased) to maximize compatibility.
Verify the member is assigned to the correct market. Check that the project has been shared to that market. The member must be signed in and have an active internet connection. If the team subscription has lapsed, access is restricted until renewal.
Open Snap Settings from the Drafting toolbar and verify the snap types you need are enabled. If Grid Snap is on but not working, try adjusting the zoom level. If snapping to endpoints or midpoints isn't working, make sure those snap types are toggled on. Ortho Lock overrides some snap behavior by constraining to horizontal/vertical only.
CommandsCommand Bar
The command bar is at the bottom of the main workspace screen. Tap the text field, type a command, and press return. If the command bar is not visible, you may be in maximized mode โ€” type restore or pinch to zoom out.
No. Commands are case-insensitive. REPORT, Report, and report all work the same way.
Many commands have abbreviated versions for faster typing. Examples: snap s (straight snap), snap d (diagonal snap), tag w (windows), tag d (doors), draw g (grid draw), draw p (pencil draw), view f (front view). Browse the Commands tab for all short forms.
Make sure you press return after typing the command. Check for typos โ€” the command must match a recognized keyword. If a command requires a parameter (like layout <name> or zoom <value>), include the value. Unrecognized commands are silently ignored.
Yes. Tap the microphone button next to the command bar text field. Speak your command naturally and the on-device speech recognizer transcribes it. Voice input works with all commands including AI features. Ideal for hands-free operation in the field.
AI commands: ask <question>, narrate, completeness, duplicates, scope <text>, energy, customer, patterns, fieldnotes <text>. All require premium subscription and internet connection.
Common commands include: new project, projects, layout <name>, draw grid, draw pencil, fill, erase, tag windows, tag doors, snap s, zoom 1.5, camera, gallery, notes, report, review, customize, and help. See the Commands tab for the full list.
ImportFile Import
Measure Tech PRO supports three CAD formats: DXF (imports directly on-device), DWG (converted to DXF via cloud service), and SVG (parsed on-device). All three create a new Drafting (CAD) layout with the imported geometry.
DWG files use AutoCAD's proprietary binary format, which requires server-side conversion to DXF before the app can read them. This cloud conversion step adds a few seconds. DXF files skip this step and import instantly on-device.
Yes. The app converts DOCX and DOC files to PDF via a cloud service, then imports the pages as a Document layout for annotation. You need an internet connection and the file must be under 50 MB.
When you share a file to Measure Tech PRO from another app, the following formats are accepted: PDF, PNG, JPEG, TIFF, HEIC, SVG, DXF, DWG, DOCX, and DOC. Images and PDFs are imported as overlays or Document layouts. CAD files create Drafting layouts.
Yes. All imported CAD files are automatically normalized to the origin (0,0 coordinates) so they appear centered on the canvas. This prevents drawings created at arbitrary coordinates from appearing off-screen. You can move entities after import using the Drafting selection and move tools.
ProfilesIndustry Profiles
Industry profiles customize the entire app experience for your trade. Each profile controls which tag types appear, what metadata fields are available on tags, which project info fields show up, what AI prompts are used, and how reports are structured. Available profiles: Window & Door, Roofing, Siding, Gutters, Remodel, General Contractor, Insurance, and Custom.
Open Account > Settings and select your Default Trade. This sets the profile for all new projects. You can also change the profile per-project in Project Info. Team admins can lock the profile for all team members from Team Management.
The Siding profile gives you Wall tags (with material, area, wall height, and condition fields), Trim tags (with trim type, length, and material), Opening tags (full window measurement UI), plus Pins and Views. Project info fields include Siding Material, Total Squares, Substrate, Stories, and Year Built. AI features use siding-specific prompts for estimates, compliance checks, and photo analysis.
Window & Door: Window, Door, Opening, Pin, View. Roofing: Slope, Ridge, Penetration, Opening, Pin, View. Siding: Wall, Trim, Opening, Pin, View. Gutters: Gutter Section, Downspout, Opening, Pin, View. Remodel: Room, Fixture, Opening, Pin, View. General Contractor: Area, Opening, Pin, View. Insurance: Damage, Pre-Existing, Line Item, Opening, Pin, View. Custom: All tag types from every profile combined.
Custom mode gives you access to every tag type from all industry profiles in a single project. This includes Window, Door, Slope, Ridge, Penetration, Damage, Line Item, Pre-Existing, Area, Deficiency, Wall, Trim, Gutter Section, Downspout, Room, Fixture, Opening, Pin, and View. Use it when a project spans multiple trades.
Yes. Open the project, go to Project Info, and change the Industry Profile. Existing tags keep their data โ€” switching profiles only changes which tag types are available for new tags and which project info fields are shown. No data is lost.
The AI assistant becomes a siding estimator. Project notes are structured with sections for exterior overview, material specification, wall section summary, trim & accessories, openings, substrate & underlayment, removal scope, and watch items. Photo analysis identifies siding material, profile, condition, and damage. Compliance checks reference IRC/IBC siding requirements for fastening, WRB, grade clearance, and fire ratings.
Wall tags have four fields: Material (picker: Vinyl, Fiber Cement, Wood, Engineered Wood, Stone/Veneer, Aluminum, Stucco, Other), Area in square feet (number), Wall Height in feet (number), and Condition (picker: Good, Fair, Poor, Failed). Wall tags auto-name with letters: W-A, W-B, W-C.
Trim tags have three fields: Type (picker: J-Channel, Corner Post, Soffit, Fascia, Starter Strip, Drip Edge, Window Wrap, Other), Length in linear feet (number), and Material (picker: Vinyl, Aluminum, Wood, PVC, Fiber Cement). Trim tags auto-name with numbers: T-1, T-2, T-3.
The Gutters profile gives you Gutter Section tags (with material, profile, length, and condition fields), Downspout tags (with size, material, and routing), Opening tags (full window measurement UI), plus Pins and Views. Project info fields include Gutter Material, Gutter Profile, Total Linear Feet, Downspout Count, and Year Built. AI features use gutter-specific prompts for drainage assessment, compliance checks, and photo analysis.
Gutter Section tags have four fields: Material (picker: Aluminum, Steel, Copper, Vinyl, Zinc, Other), Profile (picker: K-Style, Half-Round, Box, Fascia, European, Other), Length in linear feet (number), and Condition (picker: Good, Fair, Poor, Failed). Gutter Section tags auto-name with numbers: GS-1, GS-2, GS-3.
Downspout tags have three fields: Size (picker: 2x3", 3x4", 3" Round, 4" Round, Other), Material (picker: Aluminum, Steel, Copper, Vinyl, Other), and Routing (picker: Above Grade, Underground, Splash Block, Extension). Downspout tags auto-name with numbers: DS-1, DS-2, DS-3.
The Remodel profile is built for renovation contractors โ€” kitchen and bath remodelers, basement finishers, and addition builders. It provides Room and Fixture tag types with trade-specific metadata for documenting renovation scope, materials, and dimensions. AI features use remodel-specific prompts for project notes, compliance checks, and photo analysis.
The Remodel profile includes Room tags (with room type, square footage, ceiling height, and scope fields), Fixture tags (with fixture type, action, material, and dimensions), Opening tags (full window measurement UI), plus Pins and Views. Room tags auto-name with the prefix RM (RM-1, RM-2, RM-3) and Fixture tags with the prefix FX (FX-1, FX-2, FX-3).
The Remodel profile adds five trade-specific fields to Project Info: Project Type (Kitchen, Bath, Basement, Addition, Whole-House, Other), Permit # (permit number for the renovation), Scope of Work (text description of the renovation scope), Budget (estimated project budget), and Year Built (construction year, shared with other profiles).

App Overview

Measure Tech PRO is a professional floor plan and project documentation tool for construction, remodeling, and inspection workflows. The app centers around a drawing grid where you build floor plans, add measurements, capture photos, and generate reports.

Main Workspace

The main workspace is built around the drawing grid. The top header provides quick access to Notes, Gallery, Documents, Project Info, and Account. The left toolbar and top toolbar control your active drawing tool. The bottom area includes the command bar and project navigation.

  • The grid is your primary workspace for all drawing and layout work.
  • Header buttons give one-tap access to project media and metadata.
  • The command bar at the bottom accepts text commands for fast navigation.
  • The footer shows the current project name and layout.

Subscription Tiers

Free tier allows one layout per project with basic drawing tools. Solo / Small Crew unlocks unlimited layouts, cloud storage, AR measurement, level tool, report generation, and photo markup. Business / Team adds team management, project sharing, cloud documents, and multi-user collaboration.

  • Free: 1 layout, basic drawing, camera, and gallery.
  • Solo / Small Crew: All premium tools for one user.
  • Business / Team: Everything in Solo plus team features and 3 seats.
Start with the free tier to explore the interface, then upgrade when you need more than one layout or want to generate reports.

Your First Project

A step-by-step guide to creating your first project, filling in details, drawing a floor plan, and generating a report.

Create and Configure

Start by creating a new project using the Projects button or the new project command. Fill in Project Info with the job name, address, and any relevant details. Set up Company Info from the Account menu โ€” your logo and contact details are used for report branding. This only needs to be done once.

  • Fill in Project Info before generating reports.
  • Company Info is set once and reused across all projects.
  • The project name appears in the footer once created.

Draw Your Floor Plan

Choose grid draw for structured, straight-line plans or pencil draw for freehand shapes. Tap or drag on the grid to place lines. Use snap mode to keep lines aligned. Create separate layouts for each room, floor, or elevation. Name them clearly โ€” these names appear in the report.

Name your layouts clearly (Kitchen, Living Room, Front Elevation) so the report reads well for clients.

Document and Report

Capture photos with the in-app camera. Add notes for site observations. When everything is documented, use the report command to generate a professional PDF. Use customize to control which sections appear in the output.

Interface Walkthrough

A detailed walkthrough of every area of the main workspace โ€” header, toolbar, grid, command bar, and footer.

Header Bar

The header bar runs across the top of the screen. From left to right: Notes, Gallery, Documents, Project Info, and Account. Each button opens a modal sheet over the grid. On team projects, the header also shows sync status indicators and presence avatars for other connected users.

  • Notes โ€” Project-level text observations and reminders.
  • Gallery โ€” All captured photos and videos for the project.
  • Documents โ€” Imported files and generated outputs.
  • Project Info โ€” Job name, address, client details.
  • Account โ€” Subscription, team, company info, and settings.

Command Bar and Footer

The command bar sits at the bottom of the screen. Tap it, type a command, and press return. Commands are case-insensitive and many have short forms. The footer displays the current project name and active layout, and provides quick access to the project browser and layout selector.

Double-tap the command bar to clear it and start a new command quickly.

Grid Layout

Floor plan grid with tags and measurements. The core layout for structured floor plans where walls follow a cell grid โ€” snap, fill textures, and full tag support.

Grid Draw vs Pencil Draw

Grid draw snaps your strokes to the cell grid, making it easy to draw straight walls, rooms, and structural outlines. Pencil draw gives you freehand control for curves, traces, and irregular shapes, with shape-assisted modes that recognize your gesture.

  • Use draw grid when you want square/grid snapping behavior.
  • Use draw pencil for freehand drawing.
  • Pencil shapes: freehand, arrow, square, rectangle, oval, threesided, circle, halfcircle, halfeyebrow, arch.

Zoom, Snap, and Grid Visibility

Zoom values range from 0.5x (zoomed out) to 3.0x (zoomed in). Straight snap constrains to horizontal/vertical; diagonal snap adds 45-degree angles.

  • Use zoom 1.5 or any value between 0.5 and 3.0.
  • Use snap s for straight snap, snap d for diagonal snap.
  • Use grid off to hide the grid lines without removing the drawing.

Fill Textures

Apply material textures to closed shapes on the grid. Draw a closed shape, switch to the fill tool using the fill command, then tap the shape. Textures include: solid colors, brick (running, basket, English, Flemish bond), wood, stone, tile, concrete, stucco, metal, glass, fabric, roofing, siding, landscaping, water, blinds, synthetic, and asphalt.

Sketch Layout

Freehand drawing canvas with Apple Pencil support โ€” 8192ร—8192 px canvas with 8 PencilKit drawing tools including pen, marker, pencil, monoline, fountain pen, watercolor ink, eraser, and lasso.

The Eight Drawing Tools

  • Pen โ€” smooth, consistent strokes for walls, outlines, and general drawing.
  • Marker โ€” translucent, wide strokes for highlighting areas of interest.
  • Pencil โ€” textured, light strokes that mimic a real graphite pencil.
  • Monoline โ€” uniform width regardless of pressure. Ideal for technical annotations.
  • Fountain Pen โ€” pressure-responsive calligraphic strokes.
  • Watercolor โ€” blending, translucent ink washes for artistic rendering.
  • Eraser โ€” remove strokes by brushing over them.
  • Lasso โ€” select, move, copy, and resize groups of strokes.

Background Patterns

Choose from 6 background patterns when creating a Sketch layout: blank, lined, grid, dot grid, graph paper, or isometric.

Start with pencil for rough ideas, then trace over with pen for clean lines. Use the lasso tool to rearrange elements โ€” draw a circle around strokes and drag them to a new position.

Document Layout

Page-based canvas for structured annotation โ€” scope notes, checklists, specifications, and field documentation. Supports Letter, Legal, A4, and Tabloid page sizes with multiple pages and 6 background pattern options.

When to Use Document Layouts

Use Document for page-based writing and annotation: scope notes, checklists, specifications, meeting notes, or inspection templates. All 8 PencilKit drawing tools are available. Pan mode lets you scroll through pages without accidentally drawing.

  • Page sizes: Letter, Legal, A4, Tabloid.
  • Background patterns: blank, lined, grid, dot grid, graph paper, isometric.
  • Page break separators are always visible between pages.
  • Choose lined for notes, graph paper for scaled sketches, blank for free-form annotation.

Elevation Scanner

AI-powered facade scanning โ€” photograph the building, get an editable elevation blueprint. Uses Firebase AI (Gemini 2.5 Flash). Internet connection required.

How It Works

Open a new Elevation layout and tap the scanner. Guided camera prompts you to capture each face of the building โ€” Front, Back, Left, Right. Hold up a reference card for calibration (any known-size object works). AI generates an editable elevation blueprint with detected window and door positions, dimensions, and tags you can review and correct.

  • Capture straight-on photos of each building facade.
  • Use a reference card (any known-size object) for real-world scale calibration.
  • AI detects windows, doors, siding, trim, and structural elements.
  • Review and correct detected elements before exporting.
  • Internet connection required for AI processing.
Capture in good natural lighting โ€” avoid heavy shadows or glare. Stand far enough back to capture the full facade in one shot. The AI works with residential, commercial, and mixed-use buildings.

Drafting (CAD) Layout

Scale drawings with CAD precision tools โ€” 19 drawing and editing tools, layers, snap, ortho lock, coordinate input, units, scale, and DXF/PDF/PNG export.

19 Tools in Four Groups

Drawing: Select, Line, Polyline, Rectangle, Circle, Arc, Construction Line.
Modification: Move, Offset, Rotate, Mirror, Copy, Trim, Extend, Fillet.
Annotation: Dimension, Angular Dimension, Leader, Text.

Layer System

Four default layers: Walls (white, weight 2.0), Dimensions (cyan, weight 0.5), Construction (gray, non-printing), and Notes (green, weight 0.5). Tap a layer name to make it active. Toggle visibility, lock, and printable per layer. Long-press to rename. Tap Add Layer to create new layers.

Construction lines are on a non-printing layer by default โ€” use them freely for alignment guides without affecting your exported output.

Units and Scale

Five unit systems: Feet-Inches, Inches, Millimeters, Centimeters, and Meters. Seven scale presets: 1:1, 1/4"=1'-0", 1/8"=1'-0", 1/2"=1'-0", 1"=1'-0", 1:50, 1:100. Export as DXF (with INSUNITS metadata for AutoCAD compatibility), PDF with title block, or PNG.

Tags, Views & Pins

Document measurement points, windows, doors, orientation views, and pin markers to build a complete project record.

Tags

Tags carry measurement data โ€” dimensions, style, material, notes, and photos. Use tag w for window tags, tag d for door tags. Tags appear in reports with their full specification. Set quantity for linked sibling groups that share the same properties.

View Labels

View labels mark the orientation of a layout โ€” front, back, left, or right. Use view front, view back, view left, view right (or short forms f, b, l, r). Place them on floor plans to indicate which direction each elevation faces.

Pins

130+ pin types across 16 categories. 25 job presets auto-configure pins for your trade. Up to 8 favorites for quick access. Pins are visual location markers without measurement data โ€” use them for damage, equipment, features, or points of interest.

Use tags for openings you need to measure and report; use pins to mark everything else. Both appear on the floor plan and in exports.

Tag Detail Features

Advanced tag editing: mull configurations, rough opening calculations, unit dimensions, quantity groups, and label customization.

Mull Configuration

Open the mull editor from a tag's detail sheet. Four layout types: Ribbon (side-by-side), Stack (top-to-bottom), Matrix (rows and columns), and Custom (asymmetric). Six quick-start templates. Each unit can have its own type (A, B, C) with distinct width, height, and window style. Mull notation generated automatically (e.g., "a-b-a").

Rough Opening Calculator

Enter R.O. width and height (the hole in the wall). Set clearance using presets (1/4", 3/8", 1/2", 3/4" imperial; 3mm, 6mm, 10mm, 13mm metric) or a custom value. Frame size = R.O. minus clearance. Use 'Set R.O. from units' to calculate back from individual unit dimensions.

Copy measurements between tags with the copy button in the tag detail header โ€” choose Paste All, Paste Size Only, Paste Style Only, or Paste Notes Only. The clipboard persists during your session.

Label Styles

Customize background color, border color, text color, font, font size, and alignment. Use labelstyle save to save the current style. Six preset slots: Default, Blueprint, Warning, Clean White, Red Flag, Dark Mode.

Pin Catalog & Job Presets

130+ pin symbols across 16 categories with 25 job presets to auto-configure pins for specific trades.

16 Categories

Openings, Exterior, Roofing, Insulation, Electrical, HVAC, Plumbing, Cabinetry, Appliances, Furniture, Flooring, Landscaping, Safety, Structural, Damage/Issues, and Markers. Toggle individual pins on or off, or apply a Job Preset to auto-configure for your trade. Set up to 8 Favorites for quick access in the pin picker toolbar.

Pin Picker Favorites Bar

The pin picker toolbar shows a Favorites bar at the top with your most-used pin types for quick one-tap access. Below that, the Browse tab groups all pins by intent (Mark It, Document It, Map It) rather than by category. After placing a pin, a Quick-Note bar appears for instant annotation.

AI Assistant

19+ AI-powered features accessed via the command bar. Powered by Firebase AI (Gemini 2.5 Flash). Requires internet connection and premium subscription.

AI Commands

  • ask <question> โ€” Building codes, specs, installation standards, app usage questions.
  • narrate โ€” Generates professional report narration from your project data.
  • completeness โ€” Scans all tags and flags missing measurements or incomplete entries.
  • duplicates โ€” Finds redundant or double-entered tags across the project.
  • scope <text> โ€” Compares your scope document against project tags, finds discrepancies.
  • energy โ€” Analyzes energy code requirements for your project address climate zone.
  • customer โ€” Generates a plain-language project summary for homeowners or clients.
  • patterns โ€” Analyzes tag data for ordering and coverage insights.
  • fieldnotes <text> โ€” Parses spoken field notes into structured tags with measurements.

Usage Limits

Free: 5/day ยท 25/month. Solo / Small Crew: 30/day ยท 500/month. Business / Team: 100/day ยท 2,000/month. Auto-fill from photos uses a separate passive budget (Free: 3/day, Solo: 50/day, Business: 150/day). Limits reset daily. Voice input for the command bar uses on-device SFSpeechRecognizer and does not count against AI limits.

Auto-Fill From Photos

When a photo is added to a tag, the AI analyzes the image and suggests values for style, material, color, grid pattern, and condition. Suggestions appear in a banner โ€” tap Apply to accept or dismiss to ignore. Uses a separate passive AI budget that does not compete with interactive AI commands. A 10-second cooldown prevents rapid-fire calls when batch-adding photos. The app snapshots field state before the AI call and skips auto-fill if you've already edited the fields manually.

  • Separate passive budget: Free 3/day, Solo 50/day, Business 150/day.
  • Race-condition safe โ€” user edits are never overwritten.
  • Toggle: Settings > AI Features (solo) or Admin > AI Features (team).

Dimension Validation

Real-time warnings appear as you enter width and height on a tag. Three categories of checks run locally with zero AI cost:

  • Egress code โ€” flags windows below IRC residential minimums (20โ€ณ W, 24โ€ณ H, 5.7 sq ft).
  • Manufacturing limits โ€” warns when dimensions exceed common fabrication maximums (72โ€ณ W, 120โ€ณ H).
  • Order mismatch โ€” highlights differences greater than 0.5โ€ณ between your measurements and a linked EntryLink order.

Runs entirely on-device โ€” no internet required, no AI credits consumed. Toggle: Settings > AI Features (solo) or Admin > AI Features (team).

Smart Tag Naming

Automatically generates descriptive tag names from the tag's properties instead of default sequential names like "Window 3". Uses 20 style abbreviations (DH, SH, CS, AW, SL, PIC, ED, SD, FD, BF, PK, BN, DT, GRG, STM, SCR, GDN, SP, BAY, BOW) combined with dimensions and location โ€” e.g. "DH 36ร—60 Kitchen".

  • Updates automatically when style, dimensions, or location change.
  • Only applies to tags with default sequential names โ€” manual names are never overwritten.
  • Runs locally โ€” no AI credits, works offline.
  • Toggle: Settings > AI Features (solo) or Admin > AI Features (team).

Completeness Nudges

Small indicator icons on tag cards in the tag panel highlight missing information at a glance:

  • ๐Ÿ“ Orange ruler โ€” missing width or height.
  • ๐Ÿ“ท Camera โ€” no photos attached.
  • ๐Ÿ“ Map pin โ€” no location set.

Nudges appear on both individual tag rows and group headers. Runs locally โ€” no AI credits, works offline. Toggle: Settings > AI Features (solo) or Admin > AI Features (team).

AR Measurement (LiDAR)

LiDAR-powered augmented reality measurement for window and door openings โ€” tap four corners, get width and height. Requires iPhone 12 Pro or later, or iPad Pro 2020 or later.

How to Measure an Opening

  • Point the camera at the opening and wait for tracking status to show Ready.
  • Single-tap four corners of the opening to define a rectangle.
  • Double-tap any corner for precision magnifier placement โ€” drag to align the crosshair, single-tap to lock.
  • Width and height display once all four points are placed.
  • Move slowly and keep the device steady for best results.

RoomPlan highlights likely doors and windows while LiDAR mesh + tracked raycasts refine each corner.

Accuracy

Generally accurate within 1-2% at typical room distances (3-10 feet). Accuracy decreases at longer ranges, in bright sunlight, or on highly reflective surfaces. Use AR Measure for quick field verification rather than final specifications.

Pitch Level Tool

Professional pitch readings to 0.1ยฐ using device accelerometer and gyroscope. Works on all iPhones and iPads โ€” no LiDAR required.

Reading Types

  • Roll โ€” side-to-side tilt.
  • Pitch โ€” forward-backward tilt.
  • Combined angle โ€” total deviation from level.
  • Roofing fraction โ€” e.g. 4/12 means 4 inches rise per 12 inches run.
  • Percentage โ€” for slope calculations.

The display turns green and provides haptic feedback (iPhone 7+) when the surface is level. Save up to 50 readings per session with descriptive notes. Export all readings as CSV (roll, pitch, angle, fraction, percentage, date, notes).

Calibrate by placing your device on a known-level surface and tapping Calibrate. This zeros the sensor so future readings are relative to that baseline.

Voice Input

Dictate commands, tags, measurements, and field notes hands-free using on-device speech recognition (SFSpeechRecognizer). Works with gloves on.

Using Voice Input

Tap the microphone button next to the command bar text field. Speak your command or field observation naturally โ€” for example: "three double-hung windows, 36 by 60, north wall." Tap the mic again to stop. The AI parses your speech into individual tag drafts that appear in the tag panel for review and placement.

  • Voice input uses on-device SFSpeechRecognizer โ€” fast and private, no internet required.
  • AI tag parsing from voice does require internet (Firebase AI).
  • Simple note dictation (Notes and Tag Notes fields) works offline.
  • Works with all commands including AI commands like ask and fieldnotes.

Reports & Export

Generate branded PDF reports from your project data, or export DXF/DWG/SVG for CAD systems.

Report Generation

Use report to set a custom title and generate, or generate report for auto-generation. The report includes all layouts (Grid, Sketch, Document, Elevation, Drafting), tags, photos, notes, and project metadata. Layout names become section headers โ€” name them clearly.

  • Company logo, name, and contact info from Company Info appear on the cover page.
  • Free tier reports include a watermark โ€” upgrade to remove it.
  • Use review to open the Review Dashboard and verify completeness before generating.
  • Use customize to control which sections appear in the report.

Camera & Gallery

Multi-capture camera with photo and video modes. GPS coordinates embedded automatically. Photos organized per project and per tag.

Multi-Capture Mode

Take multiple photos and videos in a single session without closing the camera between shots. A thumbnail strip shows all captures. Tap Done to add all to the gallery at once. No artificial limit on photos per project.

  • Photos attach to the project and to individual tags.
  • Videos saved to gallery but not included in PDF reports.
  • GPS coordinates are embedded in every photo automatically.
  • Flash: Auto, On (continuous torch for dark spaces like attics), Off.

Photo Markup

Annotate captured photos with 7 tools: Draw, Box, Circle, Arrow, Text, Sticker, and Erase. Annotations persist and appear in reports.

Annotation Tools

  • Draw โ€” freehand markup on the photo.
  • Box โ€” rectangle highlight for areas of interest.
  • Circle โ€” circular highlight.
  • Arrow โ€” directional pointer for callouts.
  • Text โ€” editable text label placed anywhere on the photo.
  • Sticker โ€” pre-made symbols; team admins can add custom sticker sets.
  • Erase โ€” remove annotations.
Team admins can create custom sticker sets for standardized annotation across the whole crew โ€” company-branded markers, damage symbols, or trade-specific callouts.

Team Management

Business / Team plan includes full team management โ€” invite members, assign roles, control feature availability, manage markets, and audit changes.

Four Roles

  • Admin โ€” Full account control. Billing, team, markets, all projects. Cannot be demoted.
  • Manager โ€” Manage a market or organization. Invite members and collaborators. No billing access.
  • Member โ€” Full field access โ€” measure, document, draft, sync. Consumes one seat.
  • Collaborator โ€” Read-only access with photo/video uploads and markup. Can be on multiple teams. Free โ€” no seat consumed.

Admin Controls

In the Admin Settings card, toggle 9 features on/off for team members: AR Measure, Level Tool, Elevation Scanner, Multi-Capture Camera, Photo Markup, Command Bar, Review Dashboard, Share to Team, and Live Editing. Under AI Features, control 4 automation toggles: Auto-Fill From Photos, Dimension Validation, Smart Tag Naming, and Completeness Nudges. Apply permission templates (Full Access, Field Tech, View Only) per member. Manage team stickers for shared photo markup annotations. All admin actions are recorded in an immutable audit trail.

Collaborators are always free โ€” invite clients, subcontractors, and architects as Collaborators without consuming paid seats. They can upload photos, videos (up to 60s), and add markup annotations.

Markets & Organizations

Group projects and users by geographic market, branch, or client organization. Assign Managers to own each market.

Market Health Indicators

  • Green bolt โ€” Active (recent activity, members assigned).
  • Blue checkmark โ€” Healthy (good completion rate).
  • Orange warning โ€” Attention (no members, low completion, or going stale).
  • Red clock โ€” Stale (no activity in 14+ days).
  • Gray dashed circle โ€” Empty (no projects yet).

Assign Members full market access or limit them to specific projects by cherry-picking. Admins see cross-market reporting and seat usage at a glance.

Cloud Sync & Collaboration

Real-time project sync via Firestore for Business / Team plan. Every change syncs to every device on the team instantly.

Sync Status Indicators

  • Live โ€” connected, syncing in real time.
  • Syncing โ€” actively uploading or downloading changes.
  • Offline โ€” no internet, changes queued for later automatic sync.
  • Error โ€” connection issue; close and reopen the project.

Edit Locks & Conflict Resolution

When a team member is actively editing a layout, the app places a temporary edit lock on that layout (expires after 10 seconds of inactivity). If a sync conflict occurs, a dialog lets you choose to keep the local or cloud version โ€” the app never silently overwrites your work.

File Import

Import PDF, images, Word documents, DXF, DWG, and SVG files from Files app, Share Sheet, or in-app file picker.

Supported Formats

  • DXF โ€” imports directly on-device, creates Drafting layout.
  • DWG โ€” cloud-converted to DXF, then creates Drafting layout.
  • SVG โ€” parsed on-device, creates Drafting layout.
  • PDF / PNG / JPEG / HEIC / TIFF โ€” imported as overlays or Document layouts.
  • DOCX / DOC โ€” cloud-converted to PDF, imported as Document layout (max 50 MB).

All imported CAD files are automatically normalized to the origin so they appear centered on the canvas. You can move entities after import using the Drafting selection and move tools.

Calculator

Built-in calculator with Standard (arithmetic + fractions), Converter (8 unit types), and Sq Ft (area) modes โ€” available from the toolbar without leaving the app.

Three Modes

  • Standard โ€” basic arithmetic with fraction mode (enter "3 1/2" for three and a half inches).
  • Converter โ€” 8 units: Inches, Feet, Feet-Inches, Fraction, Decimal, Millimeters, Centimeters, Meters.
  • Sq Ft โ€” enter width and height for instant area calculation with formula breakdown.

Stores up to 50 recent calculations with timestamps. The calculator display and expression persist between sessions.

Team Sticker Management

Admins can maintain a team-wide sticker catalog that all members can use in photo markup. Stickers sync across the team via Firebase and appear alongside built-in SF Symbol stickers.

Adding and Managing Stickers

Open Team Management and scroll to the Team Stickers section. Import from your photo library or the Files app. Stickers are resized to 200ร—200px PNG. Each team can have up to 100 stickers. Enable/disable individual stickers without deleting them. Changes are logged in the audit trail.

  • Import from Photos or Files app.
  • Max 200ร—200px PNG, up to 100 per team.
  • Enable/disable without deleting.
  • Synced to all team members via Firebase.
  • Changes logged in audit trail.
Create stickers for common field annotations โ€” 'approved', 'redo', 'damage', company logos โ€” so your team uses consistent markup across all projects.

Project Map

View all team projects as geocoded pins on an interactive map with market boundaries, address autocomplete, and route optimization.

Map Features

Projects with valid addresses are automatically geocoded and placed on the map. Market boundaries display as colored overlays. Select multiple pins to plan an optimized driving route between sites. Open the route in Apple Maps or Google Maps for navigation.

Review (Dashboard)

Cross-project tag quality dashboard โ€” aggregate window and door tags from all markets and flag issues. Admin and Manager access only.

Quality Control

The Review section aggregates all window and door tags across your team's markets and projects. Each tag shows its type, market, project, layout, dimensions (interior/exterior width and height), photo count, and issue badges. Four issue types: Flagged (manually flagged for review), No Dims (missing dimensions), No Photos (no attached photos), and OK (all fields complete).

  • Filter: All Issues, Flagged only, Missing Dims only, No Photos only, All Tags.
  • Stats: total tags, tags with issues, flagged count, missing photos/dims.
  • Data sourced from layouts across all organizations and projects.
  • Complements the in-app Review Dashboard with a team-wide cross-project view.
Run a weekly review pass before the end of each project phase to catch missing dimensions and photos while the team is still on site.

Subscription & Billing

Plans, pricing, dual billing paths (App Store + Stripe), upgrading, downgrading, and restoring purchases.

Plan Comparison

  • Free โ€” 1 layout per project, basic drawing, camera, 3 AI/day.

Multi-Factor Authentication

Add a second verification step to protect your account with TOTP-based authenticator app codes.

Setting Up MFA

Open Account > My Info and tap 'Enable MFA'. Scan the QR code with any authenticator app (Google Authenticator, Authy, 1Password). After enrollment, every sign-in requires your password plus a 6-digit code. MFA is available for email/password accounts only โ€” Google and Apple sign-in use their own security.

  • TOTP-based โ€” works with any authenticator app.
  • Available for email/password sign-in only.
  • Requires 6-digit code on every sign-in.
  • Can be disabled from My Info screen.
Save your TOTP backup codes in a secure location. If you lose access to your authenticator app, backup codes are the only way to recover your account.

Cross-Device Preferences Sync

Your workspace settings โ€” grid colors, label styles, toolbar order, report settings โ€” sync automatically across all devices.

What Syncs

Over 50 preference keys sync via Firestore: grid colors, label styles, pin styles, toolbar order, report customization, watermark settings, and more. Cloud-wins merge: if the cloud version is newer, it takes precedence. Preferences push to the cloud on sign-out and app backgrounding.

  • 50+ settings synced automatically.
  • Includes colors, styles, toolbar order, report settings.
  • Cloud-wins merge when cloud data is newer.
  • Theme (light/dark) is device-level, not synced.

  • Images/PDFs โ†’ overlays or Document layouts.
  • CAD files โ†’ Drafting layouts.
  • Word documents โ†’ converted to PDF first.
  • Original filename preserved.
When a contractor emails you a blueprint PDF, open it in Mail, tap Share, and send it straight to Measure Tech PRO โ€” no need to save to Files first.

Industry Profile Overview

Industry profiles tailor every aspect of the app โ€” tag types, metadata fields, project info, AI behavior, and report structure โ€” to your specific trade. Choose the profile that matches your work and the app adapts automatically.

Available Profiles

Eight profiles are available, each designed for a specific trade or workflow:

  • Window & Door โ€” Tags: Window, Door, Opening, Pin, View. Built for window and door installers, replacement contractors, and dealers.
  • Roofing โ€” Tags: Slope, Ridge, Penetration, Opening, Pin, View. Built for roofing contractors, inspectors, and estimators.
  • Siding โ€” Tags: Wall, Trim, Opening, Pin, View. Built for siding contractors, exterior cladding installers, and re-side estimators.
  • Gutters โ€” Tags: Gutter Section, Downspout, Opening, Pin, View. Built for seamless gutter installers, gutter guard companies, and drainage specialists.
  • Remodel โ€” Tags: Room, Fixture, Opening, Pin, View. Built for kitchen/bath remodelers, basement finishers, and addition builders.
  • General Contractor โ€” Tags: Area, Opening, Pin, View. For remodeling, general construction, and multi-trade projects.
  • Insurance โ€” Tags: Damage, Pre-Existing, Line Item, Opening, Pin, View. For adjusters, inspectors, and claims documentation.
  • Custom โ€” All tag types from every profile combined. Use when a project spans multiple trades.

What Each Profile Controls

Switching profiles changes five things throughout the app:

  • Tag types โ€” Which tag buttons appear in the tag chooser and what metadata fields each tag type provides.
  • Project info fields โ€” Trade-specific fields shown in the Project Info sheet (e.g., Siding Material, Total Squares for siding).
  • AI prompts โ€” The AI assistant uses trade-specific language, report structures, compliance references, and photo analysis tailored to your profile.
  • Report sections โ€” Generated reports group tags by trade-relevant sections (e.g., Walls, Trim & Accessories for siding).
  • Tag panel summary โ€” The summary card on the tag panel shows trade-relevant totals (e.g., total square footage and dominant material for siding).
Team admins can lock the profile for all team members from Team Management, ensuring consistency across the crew.

Custom Profile

Custom mode combines every tag type from all profiles into one workspace. This is useful for multi-trade projects where you need window tags on one layout and wall/trim tags on another. All AI features still work โ€” the assistant adapts its prompts based on the tag types actually used in the project.

Siding Profile Guide

The Siding profile is built for exterior cladding contractors โ€” document wall sections by material and condition, track trim and accessories by type and linear footage, and generate reports organized the way a siding crew expects.

Wall Tags

Wall tags document individual wall sections on the exterior. Each Wall tag captures four metadata fields:

  • Material โ€” Picker: Vinyl, Fiber Cement, Wood, Engineered Wood, Stone/Veneer, Aluminum, Stucco, Other.
  • Area (SF) โ€” Numeric field for the wall section area in square feet.
  • Wall Height (ft) โ€” Numeric field for the wall height.
  • Condition โ€” Picker: Good, Fair, Poor, Failed.

Wall tags auto-name with letters (W-A, W-B, W-C). The tag panel summary card shows total square footage, dominant material, and wall count at a glance.

Tag each elevation separately (front, back, left, right) so the AI completeness check can flag missing sides.

Trim Tags

Trim tags document trim components and accessories. Each Trim tag captures three metadata fields:

  • Type โ€” Picker: J-Channel, Corner Post, Soffit, Fascia, Starter Strip, Drip Edge, Window Wrap, Other.
  • Length (LF) โ€” Numeric field for linear footage.
  • Material โ€” Picker: Vinyl, Aluminum, Wood, PVC, Fiber Cement.

Trim tags auto-name with numbers (T-1, T-2, T-3). Use separate tags for each trim type to get accurate linear footage totals in the report.

Opening Tags

Opening tags use the full native measurement UI โ€” width, height, style, mull configuration, and rough opening calculator. These are the same tags used in the Window & Door profile but contextualized for material deduction calculations in siding estimates.

Project Info Fields

The Siding profile adds five trade-specific fields to Project Info:

  • Siding Material โ€” Primary material for the project (Vinyl, Fiber Cement, Wood, Engineered Wood, Stone/Veneer, Aluminum, Stucco, Other).
  • Total Squares โ€” Total siding area in roofing squares (1 square = 100 SF).
  • Substrate โ€” Wall sheathing type (OSB, Plywood, Foam Board, None/Unknown).
  • Stories โ€” Building height (1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3+).
  • Year Built โ€” Construction year (shared with other profiles).

AI Features for Siding

The AI assistant adapts all 19+ features for siding work:

  • Project Notes โ€” Structured as a siding estimator would write them: exterior overview, material spec, wall sections, trim & accessories, openings, substrate, removal scope, and watch items.
  • Photo Extraction โ€” Identifies siding material, profile type, condition, damage, substrate (if visible), and installation issues.
  • Compliance โ€” References IRC/IBC siding requirements: fastening patterns, WRB, 6" grade clearance, fire ratings, ventilation gaps, and flashing.
  • Energy Code โ€” Reviews insulation R-values, drainage plane, air barrier, and thermal bridging for siding assemblies.
  • Completeness โ€” Flags walls without material or area, trim without length, missing elevation documentation, and undocumented substrate.
Use the notes command after tagging all walls and trim โ€” the AI generates a complete siding estimate narrative from your field data.

Gutters Profile Guide

The Gutters profile is built for gutter and drainage contractors โ€” document gutter runs by material and profile, track downspouts by size and routing, and generate reports organized the way a gutter crew expects.

Gutter Section Tags

Gutter Section tags document individual gutter runs. Each tag captures four metadata fields:

  • Material โ€” Picker: Aluminum, Steel, Copper, Vinyl, Zinc, Other.
  • Profile โ€” Picker: K-Style, Half-Round, Box, Fascia, European, Other.
  • Length (LF) โ€” Numeric field for the run length in linear feet.
  • Condition โ€” Picker: Good, Fair, Poor, Failed.

Gutter Section tags auto-name with numbers (GS-1, GS-2, GS-3). The tag panel summary card shows total linear footage, dominant material, section count, and downspout count at a glance.

Tag each elevation separately (front, back, left, right) so the AI completeness check can flag missing sides.

Downspout Tags

Downspout tags document individual downspouts. Each tag captures three metadata fields:

  • Size โ€” Picker: 2x3", 3x4", 3" Round, 4" Round, Other.
  • Material โ€” Picker: Aluminum, Steel, Copper, Vinyl, Other.
  • Routing โ€” Picker: Above Grade, Underground, Splash Block, Extension.

Downspout tags auto-name with numbers (DS-1, DS-2, DS-3). Place one tag per downspout location for accurate count and routing documentation in the report.

Opening Tags

Opening tags use the full native measurement UI โ€” width, height, style, mull configuration, and rough opening calculator. Use these for windows and doors near gutter runs where material deductions or flashing transitions need documentation.

Project Info Fields

The Gutters profile adds five trade-specific fields to Project Info:

  • Gutter Material โ€” Primary material for the project (Aluminum, Steel, Copper, Vinyl, Zinc, Other).
  • Gutter Profile โ€” Profile style (K-Style, Half-Round, Box, Fascia, European, Other).
  • Total Linear Feet โ€” Total gutter run length across all elevations.
  • Downspout Count โ€” Total number of downspouts.
  • Year Built โ€” Construction year (shared with other profiles).

AI Features for Gutters

The AI assistant adapts all 19+ features for gutter work:

  • Project Notes โ€” Structured as a gutter specialist would write them: exterior overview, material spec, gutter section summary, downspout specification, corners & joints, hanger & support, gutter guard, removal scope, access & staging, and watch items.
  • Photo Extraction โ€” Identifies gutter material, profile, size, condition, downspout routing, joint condition, and hanger spacing.
  • Compliance โ€” References IRC/IBC gutter requirements: minimum slope, hanger spacing, downspout capacity per roof area, extension distances, and overflow provisions.
  • Energy Code โ€” Reviews drainage adequacy, downspout extensions for foundation protection, and ice dam prevention.
  • Completeness โ€” Flags sections without linear footage, downspouts without size or routing, missing elevations, and undocumented fascia condition.
Use the notes command after tagging all gutter sections and downspouts โ€” the AI generates a complete gutter estimate narrative from your field data.

Remodel Profile Guide

The Remodel profile is built for renovation contractors โ€” document rooms by type and scope, track fixtures by action and material, and generate reports organized the way a remodel crew expects.

Room Tags

Room tags document individual rooms or areas within a renovation project. Each Room tag captures four metadata fields:

  • Room Type โ€” Picker: Kitchen, Bathroom, Basement, Bedroom, Living Room, Dining Room, Laundry, Garage, Other.
  • Square Footage (SF) โ€” Numeric field for the room area in square feet.
  • Ceiling Height (ft) โ€” Numeric field for the ceiling height.
  • Scope โ€” Picker: Full Gut, Partial, Cosmetic, Structural, Addition.

Room tags auto-name with the prefix RM (RM-1, RM-2, RM-3). The tag panel summary card shows total square footage, room count, and scope breakdown at a glance.

Tag each room separately so the AI completeness check can flag missing areas and incomplete scope documentation.

Fixture Tags

Fixture tags document individual fixtures, appliances, and built-ins within the renovation. Each Fixture tag captures four metadata fields:

  • Fixture Type โ€” Picker: Sink, Toilet, Vanity, Tub/Shower, Cabinet, Countertop, Appliance, Light Fixture, Other.
  • Action โ€” Picker: Replace, Refinish, Relocate, Remove, New Install.
  • Material โ€” Picker: Granite, Quartz, Marble, Laminate, Tile, Wood, Stainless Steel, Porcelain, Other.
  • Dimensions โ€” Text field for width, height, and depth measurements.

Fixture tags auto-name with the prefix FX (FX-1, FX-2, FX-3). Use separate tags for each fixture to get accurate counts and material specifications in the report.

Opening Tags

Opening tags use the full native measurement UI โ€” width, height, style, mull configuration, and rough opening calculator. Use these for windows and doors within the renovation scope where replacement, resizing, or new openings are planned.

Project Info Fields

The Remodel profile adds five trade-specific fields to Project Info:

  • Project Type โ€” Renovation category (Kitchen, Bath, Basement, Addition, Whole-House, Other).
  • Permit # โ€” Permit number for the renovation work.
  • Scope of Work โ€” Text description of the overall renovation scope.
  • Budget โ€” Estimated project budget.
  • Year Built โ€” Construction year of the existing structure (shared with other profiles).

AI Features for Remodel

The AI assistant adapts all 19+ features for renovation work:

  • Project Notes โ€” Structured as a remodel estimator would write them: project overview, room-by-room scope, fixture schedule, material specification, demolition scope, structural considerations, and watch items.
  • Photo Extraction โ€” Identifies room layout, existing finishes, fixture condition, cabinet style, countertop material, and potential issues.
  • Compliance โ€” References IRC/IBC requirements for egress windows, bathroom ventilation, electrical capacity, plumbing clearances, and structural load changes.
  • Completeness โ€” Flags rooms without scope or square footage, fixtures without action or material, missing permit info, and undocumented areas.
Use the notes command after tagging all rooms and fixtures โ€” the AI generates a complete renovation estimate narrative from your field data.
