Guides · Setting up
Set it up once: your paper, your defaults
Settings is the cog at the bottom of the app. Set it once and every fitting starts the way you work.
What is in there
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Paper | A3, A4, Letter, Legal or Tabloid. Every template prints at 100% on it, tiled with crosshairs when it is bigger than the sheet |
| Your defaults | Insulation, seam lap, hole pitch, swage per edge, tee flange. Every new fitting starts from them; a fitting’s own Lap box is the total for that job |
| Ordinate divisions | How many stations the pattern is marked off at, for the mark-out table and the ordinates on the drawing |
| 3D and preview info | The spinning fitting and the readout under it, on or off |
| Theme | Dark, or light for a roof at noon |
| Company name | Printed on every template. Pro |
| Backup | Export your settings and jobs to a file, restore them on the next phone or the machine in the office |
On a monitor
From 1024px wide the app is the desktop layer: an icon rail down the left, the inputs in a column you can drag or fold away, the drawing filling the rest, and a pattern taller than it is wide lying down so you can see it. Same settings, same engine.
