    I'm not an architect, but one of your techniques is something I've done for years when doing layout of forms. Like your furniture technique, I fill those forms out. I see so many forms that appear to have been designed with absolutely no apparent concept of how they will be used.
    I'm new to Procreate and the iPad although I've been dealing with graphics on the computer since 1985. I've been exploring videos and I am glad I found yours. I find them very informative, easy to understand, and well produced. You make this 77 year old man almost want to become an architect. Thank you, James!

    Wow, I have been thinking to optimize my productivity of drawing plans on iPad and bringing the architectural ideas out of my head without spending days and having to build a 3D model in Revit. I’m working full-time as junior architect since 2,5 years but rather in the planning sector than design. Nevertheless, quickly drawing and communicating through lines is the way architects talk. I need to practice this skill!And I actually have just decided to subscribe procreate a few days before, but I wasn’t quite sure if this application is useful for my imagination in architectural drawings. Apparently, after seeing your video, it is the right tool for me! This video just gave me the inspiration to practice! Thank you!🙏

    Great and informative videos. I'm a landscape designer and just switched from 20 years of using trace paper to Procreate a couple weeks ago and I'm loving it so far. Question about the bundles on your website. When you purchase the bundle do you get the "instant" tools like you show in this video or do you need to import everything?

      Only if you want to and you like the idea of designing in a loose way with a pencil before you swith over to 2D or 3D CAD on your desktop. Can you share with everyone how you're using iPad drawing in your personal or professional life?

    I want to be able to create quick to scale 2D floorplans, easily add multiple dimensions and then export the drawing within a template border (company logo etc). Should I be looking at Procreate or Morpholio? I have been testing Arcsite and even considering AutoCAD on iPad.

    I found a photograph of an old building which has been demolished.
    I thought I would build a 1:76 scale model of it.
    Not having dimensions but knowing the door height would be 7’-0 I know there is a way to scale the photo and warp the photo to get the correct elevation. Maybe I can put a 7’-0 line on another layer and warp the photo for the correct elevation
    Any hints would be appreciated
