The views — one design, every drawing

What each item in the left rail is for, and what it reads from.

Guided walkthrough

See this in the real app, not a recording

The guided tour opens a real architect’s sheet in the actual workspace and walks you through it — the same buttons you will be pressing, highlighted one at a time. Nothing to install, and you can stop it at any point and keep the drawing.

Start the guided tour
This is the real view rail. The strip down the left of the workspace, mounted here from the same component. Top to bottom: Floorplan, Rack View, Solar, Report, Port Schedule, Line Schedule, Item Directory, Design Auditor — then Settings and Help at the foot. Floorplan is highlighted, the way the app opens. Hover any of them in the app and its name appears beside it.
One set of devices placed on the plan becomes the floor plan, the rack elevation, the port and line schedules and the client report — you draw once.What you draw onceFloorplanRack elevationPort + line schedulesClient reportEvery one of thesereads the samedevices — changeone, change all.
Place a device once; every drawing that needs it already has it.

  1. Floorplan

    Where the work starts and where every other view gets its data. The architectural sheet, the walls, the devices on it. If something is missing everywhere else, it is missing here first.

  2. Rack View

    The equipment rack as a front elevation: rack units, what is mounted where, each faceplate drawn from its product's own record. Rack contents are part of the design, so the Port Schedule and the client report's rack chapter can see them.

  3. Solar

    PV work as its own trade: trace roof planes, fill them with modules, and read array, string, inverter and storage sizing. Solar devices are drawn in this view only, so an AV plan never gets panels on it.

  4. Report

    The client document — title-blocked plan sheets, schedules and the narrative, assembled from the design. This is what a share link shows and what the PDF prints.

  5. Port Schedule

    Every network run in the design, the switch or patch panel it lands on, and the port it takes — with the PoE each powered device draws counted against that switch's budget. It is derived, not typed: place the gear, connect it, and the schedule is the sheet you patch the rack from. A device the design leaves unpowered is listed separately rather than quietly left out.

  6. Line Schedule

    One row per cable run: what it joins, the cable type, and the run tag printed on the drawing so a schedule and a plan can be read side by side. This is what you order wire against, and what an installer carries.

  7. Item Directory

    The catalogue of everything the project can place, searchable, with the specification each item carries.

  8. Design Auditor

    Runs the design against the rules and tells you what is wrong before a client does — unpowered devices, runs past their limit, coverage holes, missing head-end.
