OrthoGraph Architect

OrthoGraph Architect supports floor plan sketching and measurement on-site using a PDA. The software is built for appraisers, insurance inspectors, architects, real-estate agencies, flooring installers and anyone who needs digitized drawings or to calculate the area and many other measures of a floor plan even on-site. Now, in version 2.0, OrthoGraph can be run high resolution PDAs. After you draw your facility on-site, open your drawings on a PC with ArchiCAD to create a quick 3D BIM model.

The OrthoGraph Architect module shows measured drawings in real time and facilitates the creation of an electronic drawing on site. Measured rooms or graphical parts are ordered into a structural view so that users obtain a clear overview of what they are measuring. Floating islands, or ghost layers, help users attach rooms to one another and display only the focused information that is relevant to the task at hand. Features also include support for Leica Disto D3a BT, which can control automatic measurement tasks via bluetooth. Default output formats of OrthoGraph Architect are 2D and 3D DWG, SKP and PDF, but other formats are supported as well.
