25 Tips, Tricks & Secrets in Morpholio Trace

[@jeffreyfeingold1602]

thank you so much for the tip about rotating the ruler less than 3 degrees!

[@DesignItGreen]

No problem! it was a lifehack for me when I discovered it!

[@snejanaono]

Awesome tips, thanks!

[@DesignItGreen]

thank you!

[@brandonrosetti8291]

great video! I've been using this app a lot more recently so these tips are really helpful, I didn't know about half of them!

[@DesignItGreen]

thank you! I'm glad this video gave you some useful tips!

[@benstibbard8472]

Fantastic content. Thank you so much for sharing these tips. Especially the 3 taps for less than 3 degrees on the ruler!

[@DesignItGreen]

Thank you! It was a game changing discovery for me too

[@pgjohnson5504]

Just started learning Morpholio. That map trick is awesome! Great for film scouts. Thanks for that tip

[@DesignItGreen]

Oh nice! I'm not sure what film scouts is but it sounds cool! glad I could help! Morpholio is a great tool and I'll definitely do more videos on it in the future

[@LandscapeArchitectureTV]

Thanks Carter. Great video. Adding....

[@DesignItGreen]

Thank you!

[@montenithin4567]

this was super insightful! thanks for the tips! can you do a more detailed video on importing stencils!?

[@DesignItGreen]

Sure thing! Stay tuned... :)

[@nehemiahstewart]

The aerial and area calculation is a game changer. I'm a civil engineer and I entertain the idea of using ipad in my workflows

[@DesignItGreen]

The ipad is great! it really has replaced my need for a laptop and is such a versatile piece of equipment for general use and specific work stuff too!

[@isabelp103]

Wow this is so informative! Could you add tags to the description pointing to each time stamp? I would def come back to this video to get a quick explanation on how to use those features

[@guillembad]

Very useful, thanks!

[@DesignItGreen]

Thank you

[@MegaEwere]

Thanks for the usefull tips!

[@DesignItGreen]

No problem!

[@Jackevive2000]

Awesome video thank you. I’m in my final year of BA architecture so will use lots of these tips! Also “Touple Dapping” had me creating at 01:20 🤣🤣🤣

[@DesignItGreen]

Glad to hear! there is so many little hidden gems in there!

[@nikmorriseu]

That was a useful video. I have been looking at the program with a view to purchasing for use with architectural model making, this video has tipped the balance to getting it.

[@DesignItGreen]

Glad to hear it! thank you

[@Sketchbookartists]

Swweeeet! Thank you for this video! Super helpful. :-)

[@DesignItGreen]

No problem! Glad I could help

[@lunakniyte]

Love the tips! Every time I select and duplicate, the duplicate is blurry. Any idea why that's happening?

[@DesignItGreen]

thank you, and not sure why it's duplicating blury,. I've never experienced that

[@fredericodeazevedo]

Excellent video! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@DesignItGreen]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@jameswewengkang]

Hi sir....would you tell me how to define the specific line thickness for print out.....🙏🏼

[@DesignItGreen]

All you need to do is select the drawing instrument you would like and then use the scroll wheel inside the selection tool to select and define your specific line thickness!

[@misskyleeoreilly9076]

Thank you for the video! Do you know if it's possible to lasso an image in one project and move it to another project? I want to use a floorplan from one project and distort it in a another project with perspective tools to make the floorplan 3D from a particular viewpoint. 😀🤞

[@carlos20170]

Thank you!

[@DesignItGreen]

Thank you!

[@MegaEwere]

Thanks for the tips! Coulant you explane how to use shadowmaker in 2D?

[@DesignItGreen]

That a tool I haven't explored much of yet! Let me take a look at it and get back to you!

[@thibodauxdud]

How about a video showing a scale drawing completely done in TRACE. Including title block and exporting, Thanks

[@DesignItGreen]

Just came out!

[@thibodauxdud]

Outstanding work

[@bew7755]

I would be interested in you sharing how you set up a drawing with a custom title block with viewports that are to scale. I am a veteran CAD and Adobe user and am trying to wrap my head around how to set up a sheet in Morpholio.

[@DesignItGreen]

That's a good suggestion, I've never used Morpholio in such a formal matter with a title block and to scale viewports... I'm not sure if that is even possible to set up in the way that CAD works. I'll have to look into that!

[@bmacias8288]

Hello there, I have been enjoying your videos and wondered if you could help me with a question about creating a frame around a particular area on a drawings and only print within that frame. Can you direct me to a video that does that? Thank you and keep up the great job.

[@DesignItGreen]

Hi! I think you can play around with the export settings and scale to change the window and desired area, you could also put all of that information and border on a specific layer and then just export that layer with the desired extents. I currently don't have an example of this on my channel, but it definitely can be done!

[@HadarsGrasp]

How do you offset or otherwise get precise, even wall thickness?

[@DesignItGreen]

unfortunately there is no offset tool here in Morpholio, the best way to do it would be the old fashioned way by setting a scale to your drawing, and using the ruler tool to evenly draw lines at a set distance apart!

[@HadarsGrasp]

@@DesignItGreen thats really unfortunate. think ill cancel my Morpholio sub and stick with Concepts instead. Thanks for the reply.

[@GetaWinberg]

Fantastic video! Now if I could just print to scale properly from Morpholio. I have set all correctly I think and every time I go to print it 1’-2’ off every time L tips or trick of insight would be a great topic!

[@DesignItGreen]

I am pretty sure you can as long as you set up the paper size of the drawing... are you sure you are drawing on the correct paper size sheet you are trying to print?

[@GetaWinberg]

@@DesignItGreen hi thanks for getting back to me. I’ll check that. I know when i went to print it i set the page size but i am not sure I set it up like that to start the drawing. I’ll look into it I wasnt aware i could set that up first. I used the custom tab to start it and figure it was there i needed to do that ? I’ll check it out

[@GetaWinberg]

I just checked, for sure i did setup the size of the paper i would print out to. So more investigating is needed.

[@DesignItGreen]

I'll look into it more!

[@GetaWinberg]

@@DesignItGreen Thanks, I do think I figured out my issue. When I send the file to my sister who has a newer printer it prints to scale perfectly, i think my printer is just too old and I have no way to upload new drivers etc.. I think I just need a newer printer mine is easily over 10-12 yrs old

[@wrighthausracing9641]

Thanks dude.... just got tje 30 day trial What is the biggest competitor for it?

[@DesignItGreen]

No problem! The biggest competitor is definitely Procreate, that has been the king of sketching apps for a while, the only thing Procreate is missing is some of the common tools we use as Architects like straight edges, triangles and dimensional tools

[@snejanaono]

How do I get more fonts for the text? It doesn’t have anything similar to the “architectural lettering” font

[@DesignItGreen]

there should be an aA icon next to where you are typing and that's where you can change it, otherwise I don't believe you can import and fonts

[@majikdidi3132]

How do I draw beautiful curves quickly? without necessarily using the protractor

[@DesignItGreen]

Great question! I have suggested to Morpholio that it would be great if they could introduce a setting or feature to help smooth your curves and lines automatically for you. I also asked about implementing a French curve tool that you could easily manipulate to make organic curves easier... so hopefully that comes in a new update!

[@Eberlastehj]

The google maps feature is extraordinary

[@DesignItGreen]

I think so too! Morpholio Trace is great!

[@jlcool364]

Is it possible to Rescale a drawing if the Scale that was set has you drawing outside the Space?

[@DesignItGreen]

Do you mean resizing the window extent you are drawing on?

[@jlcool364]

@@DesignItGreen Yes

[@brittanychristopher5781]

How can I make my lines have sharp instead of rounded edges?

[@DesignItGreen]

Unfortunately, there is currently no way to make the ends of the line sharp and pointy like you can do in Procreate, so the best alternative is to use the pencil tool and make the lines thinner and lighter at the ends and darker and thicker in the center! Hopefully that's a future update!

[@SeamusMcgoldrick]

Fantastic video.. thank you..

[@miguelsoto2274]

Is morpholio like procreate?

[@DesignItGreen]

Certainly! But I would say procreate is better for sketching or purely organic drawings. Whereas Morpholio is better for more specific drawings within the field like sections,plans, and other drawings that require more precision

[@TheKevphil]

"Undo" should *_always_* work.
