Cadplan Architecture Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 I’ve just bought an iPad Pro for measured surveys and wondering if it will run Vectorworks? Quote Link to comment
Kevin Allen Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 No. There is a measure feature in VWX Nomad. Quote Link to comment
Cadplan Architecture Posted February 29, 2020 Author Share Posted February 29, 2020 Thanks Kevin, Is that another programme that we would need to buy? Quote Link to comment
Kevin Allen Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 I would put in a VE for more features. I don't recall the full capabilities of Nomad Measure, but https://cloud.vectorworks.net/portal/help/pages/measure-in-ar/?app=IOS_NOMAD Look at FloorPlanner and MagicPlan to add to your arsenal.

Cadplan Architecture Posted February 29, 2020 Author Share Posted February 29, 2020 Hmm, I'm not sure that's what I need for accurate measured surveys although it has some interesting features. I really want to be able to draw simple lines on screen from measurements taken manually from a Disto, it looks like Nomad somehow takes estimated measurements so not quite accurate enough for measured surveys.

Kevin Allen Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 at this pic nt, I think you're correct. That's why I suggest a VE. In the meantime, the other apps allow dims to be entered, MagicPlan can bluetooth to SOME lasers. In turn you can draw walls, correct the length with the laser and export a file to import/trace in VWX. Quote Link to comment
milezee Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 I've got a Disto laser measure, with bluetooth, there's an app you use on your iPad with it, ok for basic room perimeters, door locations etc The VW Nomad app both for room measure, and displaying 3D models really needs some love from the developers, it's not quite there yet imo 2 Quote Link to comment
