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, Topology, Solar, Report, Pictorial, 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 topology diagram and the report — you draw once.What you draw onceFloorplanRack elevationTopologyReport + schedulesEvery 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 an elevation: rack units, front and rear faces, what is mounted where. Rack contents are part of the design, so the topology sheet and the schedules can see them.

  3. Topology

    The system as a network diagram — what connects to what, grouped by system. It can seed itself from the devices already on the plan, then you rename, delete and re-link by hand; your edits are kept.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. Pictorial

    The wiring diagram drawn pictorially: real boxes with real ports, and the runs between them, for the installer who has to terminate it.

  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.
