Thanks Evan, it’s always so good to someone really digging what they’re into. Just awesome!

[@twothepoint523]

Just downloaded the app to design my own buildings or at least floor plans. Really excited about the capabilities shown. Still need to learn more

[@tomryder6797]

I have managed to scale drawing imported before but have now forgotten. Guide isn't an option on my Concepts?

[@colors4u682]

Hope I can learn this. It’s amazing. Thank you.

[@Sirkall]

Are the text and dotted line features available on surface pro ?

[@fapstronaut3671]

Using snap to grid is a must doing plans like this. It saves you a lot of time.

[@angelleonardorangelruiz]

Hi , to use the measurement ) do you have to suscribe to the app ?

[@stevencirile]

But with sketchup pro and rendering styles and shadows it’s much faster and easier, same results basically. I am using this as well. But that’s a lot of work for someone that can just make a few line type adjust w sketchup. And sketchup FX app with ambient occlusion.

[@AnUnseenRuler]

Two things that would improve this app greatly with respect to how designers in AEC work. Scale images and pdfs on import would be great instead of nudging and “figuring it out” after import. One step v multiple steps and nudges. Also a proper text tool like it’s 2020 and not AutoCAD release 11 ca. 1993.

[@mohammedmusthafa8290]

Hey! Can u show demo,working on a laptop,pls

[@DDDyson]

Wouldn't it have been easier to fill the furniture with white, rather than draw the grey floor fill around them?

[@arisgo2917]

Hi there, i tried to scale it base on what you have instructed, somehow the plan didnt change. Is there a factor how the plan saved into jpeg file from autocadd? Because im in a plan for a big project. Thank you

[@ConceptsApp]

Hi Aris. Concepts will use the measurement from the shape guide in relation to the value you entered to determine the exact scale for your drawing. Anything you draw from this point on will reference that scale, and the accurate measurements will be displayed any time "Measure" is on. You can find out more details about scale and measurement in Concepts here: concepts.app/en/tutorials/scale-and-measurement-concepts/

[@enricoflor3601]

A lot of these features aren't still available in Concepts for MS Surface.

[@pmohero]

Can't wait when precision mode and object import will become available in Windows app. Don't understand why this doesn't happen.

[@hagentrondheim3675]

Can you print the plan as a PDF in scale ?

[@jaybaxter]

Video title is misleading. This is *tracing* a floor plan, not creating one.

[@rahmanadaa]

it said “rendering”

[@ajaythakur2294]

The scale option is not the same in mine

[@user-oz9nc8in9w]

한글버젼 없나요

[@daniellehanover5986]

I don’t have the fill tools or text tool on the latest version for iPad Pro!

[@ConceptsApp]

Hi, here's a guide on how to change tools on the tool wheel or tool bar: concepts.app/en/tutorials/setting-your-menus-brushes-and-presets/

[@luuisber20]

Which ipad are you using? 11" or 12.9" ?

[@ConceptsApp]

12,9"

[@metronyc2855]

thanks. realize this is 3 years old, but where are the objects in the Windows version?

[@ConceptsApp]

They are coming in one of our next major releases on Windows and Android!

[@mannyramoslive2727]

So it's April 2021 and we do not have the precision menu. I'm on a tab s7+ but I'm still lacking precise tools in concepts. It's annoying that it takes this long or longer to just port over a feature.

[@ConceptsApp]

Hi. We're woking on this. You can check out our roadmap here: tophatch.helpshift.com/a/concepts/?s=general&f=android-roadmap&l=en&p=all Thanks for your support!

[@bmoneyrancidfan91]

I can't find the text tool on on surface pro concepts app

[@ConceptsApp]

Make sure your app is up-to-date. We just released the Text tool across all platforms with our newest release. You will find it in the brush library.

[@julianobejas-chii]

how to have thst kind of toolbar setting on the right side?

[@ConceptsApp]

Just tap and hold on the side of the tool wheel and move it to the edge of your screen.

[@marala11]

Following your techniques, I noticed that my "Marker" has a chisel shape when I fill the walls but yours is flat!

[@DDDyson]

It depends on the angle of the pen, you have to draw the lines in a direction perpendicular to the pen. It also gets a lot wider if the pen is more tilted.

[@sanaullahkhan-nu5hx]

Please tell me the name of the app that can run on windows 10

What tablet r u using?

[@ConceptsApp]

It's the ipad 12,9" 2018 model.

[@deepakparkour9776]

When will this features come on android

[@ConceptsApp]

We have a new release coming soon which includes the Text tool. The following release will have the Scale and Measurement tools.

[@eminem7765]

It could have been nicer if the objects(furniture) were automatically scaled and resizing would just be an option if you want it bigger or smaller.

[@GrantHerron]

Yeah, nothing in this video convinced me of the need to scale the drawing if your furniture didn't come in to the plan scaled correctly. There was no apparent value to assigning a scale, other than to add dimensions, and I didn't even see if that was possible. Also, the placement of the furniture was sloppy. There should be an option to lock to orthogonal angles, and if there is, they should have showed it.

[@billjanzentquinto7040]

@@GrantHerron yeah i was waiting for that.

[@nickpr8395]

How enable guidelines on ipad pro?

[@ConceptsApp]

Tap on the on canvas precision menu. There you'll find shape guides.

[@messifanboy4237]

Which app?

[@ConceptsApp]

The app is called concepts.

[@marala11]

Your scaling system is not really scaling! I want to scale my canvas to ¼” = 1’ before drawing the first line or importing a file. How can I do it?

[@ConceptsApp]

Hi Mario. I hope one of these will answer your question: tophatch.helpshift.com/hc/en/3-concepts/faq/34-how-do-i-change-the-scale/?l=zh concepts.app/en/tutorials/scale-and-measurement-concepts/

[@marala11]

@@ConceptsApp thanks, I’ll give a shot! Hope it will work!

[@paoladuenas4357]

Why some features are not available for android?

[@ConceptsApp]

This is because the Android version is much younger compared to iOS. We're actively working on bringing all the features across.

[@adilooop]

@@ConceptsApp 1 year after, lot of functions doesn't exist anymore

[@abhilashbag9686]

2years over, please update the Android version

[@IbrahimYounes]

Can I add custom furniture library

[@ConceptsApp]

If you're working on an iOS device, yes. On Windows and Android versions this feature doesn't exist for the time being.

[@notme9798]

Can somebody tell me how to add text to images on Android device and on an iPad

[@ConceptsApp]

The Text tool is coming in our next release within the next few weeks for Windows and Android!

[@mohamedislemsellah6025]

Whats the name of app

[@ConceptsApp]

Concepts App concepts.app/en/

[@Yergs]

We have an office of 20 architects - committed to Windows. When!!! will you port these features - it can't be that hard, surely! If we must invest learning in something else, there won't be any coming back to this.

[@Vyz3r]

Oh wow, could've saved hours just having a fill bucket lol

[@andreyshelomentsev2312]

I didn’t get why architect would need to spend so much time coloring their exported CAD plans. Even though I like Concepts, it just doesn’t look like a best use case

[@VIA-studio]

I think so too. Concepts is great, but what he does in the video can be made in any CAD or BIM-Software in less than 10 seconds with higher precision, because it's vectorbased.

[@ariccressey5226]

simply not everyone is an architect/ can afford specific programs, as well as this is a way to show how to do it on the go, away from your pc if need be. Plus, I think most of us rely heavily on those programs to do everything artistically for us that we dont use our own talents . On the ipad u can at least apply some artistic style to your cad .

[@DDDyson]

Maybe it's for stress relief, like a coloring book. :)

[@GabrielleLorinCTibay]

What app is it?

[@ConceptsApp]

The app is called Concepts concepts.app/en/

[@Someone-wh8hi]

It’s a nice app. But definitely nothing for working architects. A replacement for pen and paper notes yes. A replacement/addition for CAD no.

[@erikleypoldt8275]

Hav you tried other apps? Procreate or Morpholio Trace?

[@chrisheath5233]

Yeah, it’s not a replacement for CAD, but useful for presentation of concepts.

[@ariccressey5226]

@@erikleypoldt8275 procreate is to date the best ipad drawing app givin all it can do and price , what its lacking at the moment is technical abilities, doesnt support pdf ,cant draw to scale and its also all raster based. nothing vector. morpholio - is a medium tier tracing app. has good technical capabilties but it lacks a brush engine, being able to combine layers, or trace on a specific layer , the tracing layer itself is clunky to adjust and scale, those stencils are a fantastic idea, but very limited to it looking like nothing other than a stamp. if the stecil coudld be transformed or distorted, then YES !

[@rooneye]

The annonying thing about using 100% smoothing AKA straight line ruler on a pen that has pressure sensitivity is that no matter what you do you ALWAYS get a line that starts with a light stroke and ends with a hard stroke so it's basically a gradient line from light to dark (transparent to opaque) as you can clearly see in this vid. Always. It can be annoying af. Even if you press really hard at the beginning and not at the end. You have to turn pen pressure of completely to stop it.

[@brandonp5563]

You can turn the pen pressure off really easily

[@cosmicfxx]

Unfortunately no decent text tool, makes this app useless to me

[@AnUnseenRuler]

I wouldn’t say it makes it useless but yeah, it reeeallly limits what I can do for presentation. I need to export the image and then add text in a layout program. An unnecessary step IMO.

[@erikleypoldt8275]

You cant import fonts? What is stock within the app?

[@AnUnseenRuler]

@@erikleypoldt8275 Text can only be set in Helvetica. No bold or Italics either
