2012 is way more interesting than 2011
Are you familiar with Orthograph?
OrthoGraph Architect for iPad (which was only released Fall 2011) is getting an upgrade: the 3D preview. This will assist surveying with the ability to reach and change the properties of all graphical elements, so you will be able to switch between different object types, finishes, etc. directly from 3D. The new version is going to be released in about 2-3 weeks. All existing users will get this upgrade for free. There will also be other new features like PDF room book creation and direct file sending via email (in addition to a link to Dropbox).
Check out the video (make sure you at least watch from 1:15 on).
Bring on the Great Convergence
As I’ve mentioned before I don’t own an iPad, so I’m just an outsider looking in. Maybe by the end of this summer I’ll have enough excuses to buy one. But I’m excited about this Orthograph upgrade. There are a lot of survey programs for tablets out there, but I think with this release Orthograph has started to differentiate itself from the pack. Hopefully this is just the start of some huge advancements. How many more years (or months?!) before we can start designing in a full BIM environment on an iPad? Probably not too long now.
