Putting site photos into perspective: Trace is now available for iPhone.
If you've already liked or used Morpholio's popular Trace app on the iPad Pro, you can now also get excited to put it to work on your small screen: TracePro just launched for iPhone and presents a powerful architectural application of Apple's ARKit augmented reality framework in a pocket-friendly format.
AR drawing
The app positions itself as a helpful tool in the field where critical design decisions have to be made consistently — with the amount of on-site design often outweighing planning in Concept and SD combined.
"Not only do budgets, scope changes and fast track schedules force important design decisions on site," Morpholio explains the need for TracePro, "but unforeseen field conditions, contractor errors and never ending client changes can all keep your team designing and problem solving throughout CA."
Scale photos
Five so-called "CA Super Tools" are the app's key features designed to make architects' lives in the field easier:
AR Drawing on Site: utilizing the iPhone's powerful AR capabilities to overlay exact perspective grids, which users then can sketch design changes and corrections on.
Markups to Scale: once a site photo has been taken and the scale registered, users are free to add markup for a field report (can also be shared with team members instantly from the site).
Full Drawing Sets: the multipage PDF feature supports import and markup of full sets of drawings, which can then be linked to photos taken on site.
Scaled Site Maps: measure site boundaries effortlessly in situ and catch irregularities in site plans early.
Smarter Photos: once one dimension in an elevation has been registered, everything else in the photo can be measured; either right on site or upon returning from the field.

there’s 50 different apps like this and they are all more trouble than they are worth. a smarter future won’t involve this controrting. A mouse is still a superior architecture tool to a small touch screen with a million tiny buttons, and superior to that is a pen and notepad

Another wretched gizmo to distract from matters at hand.
Try a sharpie, or maybe a pencil. The sharpie does tend to bleed through paint.
Plus this post should be tagged as sponsored. Even if it's not, because of the fawning article.
