Best iPad App So Far for Floor Plans and Lot Plans
Works quite well for creating floor plans and lot plans, though hopefully future updates will make this better. Currently there is no option for dimensions, so lines with arrows and dimensions have to be added manually. Also, text size is limited so doing a floor plan in 1:1 scale means the text is way too small to read. However, 1:12 ratio with text and line size set to max keeps everything very readable. Grouping and Layers are great features and make workflow a lot easier. Everything is icon driven, so the you do need to remember what each button does. However, the Undo feature is excellent so its no problem to muck about til youre comfortable. Works good with touch, and is really nice to work in with a stylus (I use the inexpensive Targus stylus which is available almost everywhere and it works like a charm).
Though it would be difficult to create full legal blueprints, this app has definitely been sufficient for me to email detailed drawing to my builder.
