Excellent video, I am studying Arch. Tech with intentions of a master's in Arch. just recently got an Ipad and this video shows probably the pest workflow I could work with. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@iPadForArchitects]

I am honored, Tony, thank you!

[@ZKAZA2014]

Hi this is really helpful, im an archi student and always had a problem going between softwares, think im going to try this seems much more simpler and time saving.

[@iPadForArchitects]

Thanks so much. Yeh, give it a try and let me know how you do with it, OK? How are you using these apps in your professional life?

[@Artkeytechture]

Awesome example of a real-world workflow. A hand sketch is so forgiving. Thanks for the video.

[@iPadForArchitects]

Super welcome Isaac, and thanks for your kind comments. Ps. How are you using these tools in your professional life if I may ask?

[@Artkeytechture]

@@iPadForArchitects I came into this profession with AutoCAD (on DOS), an avid fan of yellow tracing paper & fountain pens to ideate I moved into Sketchup when they were @Last, then ebbed and flowed with market using different software applications that maintained a hand-rendered feel. (Shameless plug for Informatix’s Piranesi). Right now my design phase is to keep ideas as loose as possible with Concepts, Procreate, Morpholio & Sketchup for iPad before refining it in Revit, and final Render in Lumion or Twinmotion.

[@pfschuyler]

Really outstanding. A satisfying, flexible & creative alternative to the conventional Architect's workflow.

[@iPadForArchitects]

Thank you for your thoughtful comments, PF! You sound like an accomplished professional. How are you using these apps?

[@madbadoberan]

Thanks for reaching out Stephen. It means a lot to get affirmation like yours!

[@TheSycronize]

HI MY QUESTION CAN YOU ADD MORPHOLIO TRACE TO A DESTOP COMPUTER?

[@iPadForArchitects]

Unfortunately, no

[@DouglasatWhiteBox]

Amazing tutorial James! You’re right on target with the design and presentation. Hope your meeting went well!

[@iPadForArchitects]

Thanks so much Douglas! It went very well lol. Considering the house is being built as we speak. May I ask how you’re using these apps in your professional life?

Great information and inspiring as well. Thank you for taking the time to share your wealth of knowledge and your passion.

[@iPadForArchitects]

And thank you for taking the time to thank me! Much appreciated 🙃

[@AVSMedical1]

OMG, the part about how to create a Tag and then assign the group to that Tag was awesome!. Such a simple concept but I’ve never really seen a clear demonstration of how to do that. Thank you!

[@iPadForArchitects]

You are most welcome. It’s inspiring for me to try and figure out how all this stuff works, not to mention best way to communicate it to others. May I ask how you’re using these apps in your professional life?

[@EngRMP]

@@iPadForArchitects I'm an electrical engineer that does outdoor experiments with radars, ships, aircraft, etc. I've been using Sketchup for over 10 years to design my equipment setup and then to plan the experiment with the scientists and other engineers/technicians. Very different from what you're doing, but I'm always looking for related tools. You did a great job of showing how Sketchup for iPad has really improved (although I would not be able to use cloud for storage). Of course I also use Sketchup at home for all of my home projects (redesigning deck, upgrading kitchen, etc), so it was cool to see the more artistic tools that you used. Thanks for sharing your work.

[@TheGuz]

Brilliant! You made it look so easy!

[@iPadForArchitects]

If I did, then its my bad lol. You shoulda seen the outtakes. Thanks so much for your comment

[@adishrathod1479]

What model of iPad is this, do you think an Ipad air with an m1 chip can handle these tasks

[@iPadForArchitects]

Not sure? I'm using new iPad bought 4/24, so one older than the new one either coming out or already here. Maybe call or visit Apple Store?

[@adishrathod1479]

[@quick10ok78]

Thanks for producing this insightful video. This has enlightened me to how much more powerful Sketchup can be on iPad. I love how you've redefined the function of the roller brush in Morpholio to create fast and great looking trees - kind of reminds me of Bob Ross' techniques. 😀🙏

[@iPadForArchitects]

Glad it was helpful! And honored by the comparison to the King Bob Ross haha

[@ArtisanTony]

Nice video :)

[@iPadForArchitects]

thanks man

[@brucepwalker]

When using divide by or multiply by, you shouldn't need to undo if you want to change - as long as you haven't finished the command.

[@iPadForArchitects]

Very true. Apologies if I didn't make that clear

Which iPad can support all of these applications?

[@dumba5728]

i think probably every pad, like air4, 5th! 6th and new ipad pros ❤

[@Hovinga]

can't you use shadows, cameras,and styles within sketchup to do the same thing?

[@iPadForArchitects]

You can get an image that way, for sure, but it was the hand-rendered look of the rendering that this was about. But yeh, it depends on what you're after. How are you using these apps in your professional life, if I may ask?

[@Hovinga]

@@iPadForArchitects Im a building designer and consultant - typically I will draw the model in SU first, lock in 5 or 6 cameras, then build a PDF by swapping styles a few times (sketchy, mono, BW, edgeless) then use SU Podium to give a full render.

All this computer stuff seems complicated. I mean really - why "sketch" on a computer? This does not convince me. Sorry, not "hating" just think it's better to work by hand, where you are informing / training your mind and hand about scale. I do use sketchup, but not for basic design, just 3d views. Sketchup used to be great with entourage objects inside the program, now it's all "extra" stuff you have to purchase. Typical software / hardware corporation economics.

[@iPadForArchitects]

I think that’s totally valid. We’ve had 10,000…20,000?…years of human evolution thinking and designing with a stick or pencil in hand. We lose a lot when we limit our imaginations to using a keyboard and mouse

[@nw805]
