i'm debating getting a used ipad. what you do is not feasible on the phone ....although I could probably capture it on the phone and then send to my tablet (which i paid $200 open box 5 years ago vs current price for a used 5 year old IPAD pro at $700...not my favorite thing to support apple) Are you using the 13" screen? I would still like something that also gave a point cloud as a backup in case I have to measure something...

2.33 Printing and Plotting • When printing a Layout, the Print View dialog will now remember the previous DPI and Page Range used for printing that Layout. something so simple, yet so productive, as I cant count the number of times I would forget to set the page range, and then have to print again

that what I found with the CA app, it gets all the walls/rooms layed out, its quite nice. The question then though is what to adjust when you take a couple control measurements with a laser. I tend to get lost in the constantly adjusting walls, and then not remembering which ones I adjusted. At the end of the day, I have to match a survey's exterior dimensions so as to not impact setbacks. So I have yet to get a great work flow going. The best improvement I have had so far, is when a house is sold, it generally has the realtor's floor plans, so I print that out and take laser measurements and write them on the paper....but still, sometimes I miss a window location. My ultimate desired technology would be for it to create a floor plan and a point cloud at the same time, so I could go back to the point cloud and measure anything I missed. And of course not have to pay by the sq ft. Any of these sq ft companies, charge what is the equivalent to me doing it at $100 and hour so I might as well pay myself. ..end of my little rant. when you say it is more accurate than hand measuring, did you run a laser across the full length (if possible) or the longest distance in your house, and compare the two. I'm curious as to the accuracy

How far out was it compared to a laser for the full width of the house?. Did it do the whole, "make certain walls wider to stich things together" type of thing? Did it pick up plumbing walls? did you have to measure closets?

This is a new product of theirs, the LX1, it is built specifically for indoor floor plans

that is an odd looking dwg file for 4 walls:

I went to their demo last week. I asked a couple questions in the chat, but I did not get an answer. In their demo it looked to show the bottom stairs proud of the wall in the video, but the floor plan showed the wall flush to the stairs(i.e. it looked like it moved a wall erroneously). 2. It has a feature to normalize the walls widths, which then appears to make the one room larger (vs moving the exterior wall). I asked, which dimension is correct? I also asked if it could provide the raw measurements so I can make the choice of how to make it all fit. Doesnt look like it shows them. Once again it is an algorithm, and you do not know what it is moving to stich everything together. At the end of day I need measurements like this for the interior designer to work with: Maybe it is good for the rest of the house which does not need the detail that the portion under renovation will need, but then, why not use the CA as Built app. It does the same thing, and you do not have to draw any walls. it does it for you

I just raise and lower the roofs, rebuild the trusses, until i get the desired heel height

...it used to remember ...if i am remembering correctly

that was it, i was looking for it in roofs given it was a manual roof, but it is as you show in walls merci buckets

Screen Recording 2026-09-25 000617.mp4 I can get rid of it by changing the eave width, but of course tha is not what I what. I also noticed the green right angle lines at the corner. I tried tab through to catch something else, and even turned all layers off excet roof planes, baselines, to ensure there was not another roof, but if I can change this roof and it comes and goes, i figure it must be related to this roof

hmm i was wondering that before I wrote it but I had checked mine that has two fields and they are both macros, and it works, but they come from rooms not notes...maybe its something along the lines of what joe said...interesting

they have a demo and Q&A next Thursday. I will ask the questions if i get the chance

did the "group similar rows" not work to get rid of the same null blank rows in the schedule

the offer was good for the rest of the year. Given I could not find any feedback, well that and its like $2k CAD, I decided to wait to see what people reviews are...and real people in the industry, not just some reviewer guy. So hopefully you will provide some valuable feedback. My biggest concern with all of these things that "make a floor plan" is they never seem to tell you what they adjusted to make it work. Given their stated accuracy is +- 1 inch, I dont want a bathroom shrinking an inch when they put it altogether. think most of these types of program make the walls thicker for the most part. but still, why not give me the raw measurements as well wo i can decide. I guarantee you a bathtub cant shrink by an inch
