FieldSketcher for Android

11 things about FieldSketcher

1. Who benefits from FieldSketcher? Real estate appraisers, building inspectors, real estate agents, insurance agents, designers, buyers and sellers of real estate - anyone who wants to draw and document a floor plan in a format that can be directly uploaded to other computer programs.

2. Top Command line: Icons on the top right hand of the screen include a Center, a Ruler, an Eraser, and an Upload icon.

3. By carefully constraining the scope of the app, the user can map out a property without learning a complex new program - FieldSketcher is as direct and intuitive as using a pencil to draw on paper - only better because it calculates and imbeds information in the sketch itself.

4. Common shapes are included in a tabbed sidebar on the right-hand side of the screen.

5. What does FieldSketcher do? Using an iPad and a measuring tape, an inspector directly draws property measurements on the surface of the iPad, using hand gestures and pop up menus.

7. Settings: Grid settings are expressed in inches and converted to square feet in area calculations on the left side of the screen.

8. Two-finger Scroll: Placing two fingers on the drawing area allows the drawing to scroll across the screen.

9. Drag: Placing a single finger on the screen and dragging it across the screen draws a line.

10. Pinch: Pinching a line between two fingers changes the size of the image on the screen.

11. Bottom Command line: The grey bar at the bottom of the screen has a plus sign icon.
