Uses

What can I use it for?

A library of specific jobs Graphite 3D does. Each is a discrete task made from a handful of features, ready to open the app for.

Annotate construction

Capture construction details, discrepancies, and conditions where they are, at true scale.

Capture floor plans

Sketch the room as you walk it — no drafting table required.

Client annotations

Hand the client an iPad. They mark up your sketch in real time.

Collaborative design session

Two designers, one room, one shared sketch — both editing at true scale.

Compare product options

Place three options side by side; render each in the actual room’s light.

Coordinate with trades on-site

GC, electrician, plumber — same iPad view, same job walk.

Design a bespoke piece

Sketch a piece sized to the exact space; export STL for a maker.

Design together at home

Two iPads, one living room — try arrangements as a team.

Export animation paths

Freeline-draw a motion path in real space; hand it off as a curve.

Export STL for fabrication

Design in the room; send the file to a fabricator.

Export to desktop CAD

Your on-site capture becomes the next person’s start-of-day file.

Generate a photoreal preview

Sketch the change in the room, generate an AI render, hand the image over.

Make a visual punch list

Walk the finished job. Photo-mark every fix needed at true scale.

Map waypoints

Sketch zones to reach, avoid, or pause at — in the actual space.

Mark clearance conflicts

Annotate the beam a pipe would cut through — before it cuts through.

Measure ceilings

Point up, tap, done. No ladder.

Measure doorways

Confirm what fits through before you buy, order, or deliver.

Measure existing conditions

Walk the space, capture every dimension, hand off the file.

Measure rooms

Get accurate wall-to-wall dimensions in 30 seconds — no tape, no ladder.

Photograph designs from multiple angles

Circle the design; capture stills that read like a photo shoot.

Place furnishings

Import a chair, sofa, or lamp; place it at true scale in the actual room.

Plan camera positions

Place a camera geometry in the real space, label it, walk the shot.

Playful design education

Students pair up in the studio and build together at true scale.

Preview aisle arrangements

Sketch fixtures, endcaps, and displays in the actual aisle before the build.

Preview an exhibit layout

Drop walls, cases, and displays into the empty room. Walk the visitor path.

Preview robot positioning

Sketch base position, reach envelope, and safety fencing before installation.

Rearrange furnishings

Move pieces without moving them. Live-preview alternate arrangements.

Record walkthrough videos

Walk the space with the design overlaid — capture the whole scene as video.

Rehearse a tool path

Sketch the tool’s route on the actual material before cycling the machine.

Rehearse an install

Import the model, place it, check clearances and door swings.

Save and share

Sign in with Apple; the sketch is on your iPad tonight and your phone tomorrow.

Sketch a booth footprint

In the empty hall, draw the footprint at true scale; walk the visitor flow.

Sketch a built-in

Draw the shelf, bench, or cabinet where it goes, at the size it needs to be.

Sketch a kitchen island

Drop a proposed island into the room; walk around it to check the flow.

Sketch a partition

See where a wall would go before you commit to building one.

Sketch a wall opening

Draw the opening on the actual wall at the exact scale you want it.

Sketch an earthwork

Freeline a berm, retaining wall, or grading change on the actual terrain.

Sketch an outdoor deck

Draw the deck footprint on the actual grade where it’ll be built.

Topographic annotation

Freeline-draw on real terrain — every stroke snaps to the imported model.

Walk a building massing

Sketch the volume where it’ll go. Walk the perimeter with a colleague.
