Easier drawing and clearer plans. • Draw decks, walls, pads, beams, and measurements with a finger drag. Apple Pencil remains supported, with optional Pencil-only mode. • Show or hide deck, wall, and stair dimensions separately in the 2D plan. • Color-matched decking screws now appear in material estimates with calculated quantities and spare allowance. • Keep the iPad workspace in landscape, with support for both landscape directions.

A guided start and cleaner wall connections. • Build your first 10 × 10 ft deck with a guided tutorial covering navigation, centered stairs, joist size, and beam placement. • Follow gold highlights for each action, skip whenever you like, and find more tutorials in Learn. • Diagonal walls snap to adjoining endpoints and meet more cleanly in both the 2D plan and 3D view.

Smoother drawing and easier measurement entry. • Apple Pencil-only editing helps prevent unwanted canvas changes from finger and palm contact. • Swipe to pan in Draw and Beam tools, hold then drag to draw, or use the new Pan control. • Enter deck height directly in inches, with Apply and Cancel controls that keep typing stable. • Completed canvas drags and deck-height adjustments use a single Undo step, and interrupted edits restore the previous layout.

Better framing and smoother connections between deck levels. • Compatible deck sections now share continuous joists where their combined span fits, reducing redundant internal beams. • Select and delete individual automatically placed beams, with Undo and restoration controls. • Connect straight stairs starting from either deck level, including decks separated by small gaps. • Railings open at both ends of connecting stairs and meet stair rails more consistently. • Connected stair width stops at the usable space shared by both decks, including alignment and wall clearance.

Smoother planning for covered decks, stairs, and supports. • Nearby house walls automatically leave at least 8 feet above the deck by default, with manual height control when needed. • Adjust roof overhangs independently. Shed-roof connection messages explain what needs changing, and small overhang gaps can adjust automatically. • Tap stairs in 2D to open their settings more reliably on iPad. • Snap manually placed and dragged support posts onto nearby beams. • Wraparound stairs now meet house walls consistently in 2D and 3D. Use Fill available edges to extend a wrap to the exact wall limit.

More flexibility for decks that turn corners. • Rotate beams and joists independently in sections of L- and U-shaped decks, with matching 3D decking, transition boards, and picture frames. • Add a composite drink rail in any decking color, choose flush or protruding posts, and control drink rails on landings separately. • Choose whether a cantilever adjustment moves just the selected beam or all automatic beams. • Keep 2D stair measurements clearer: Dimensions now hides stair labels too, and tread depth and riser height are removed from the plan. • Try Build a Turn Deck in the redesigned Learn area. Trace the guide in one drawing step, follow precise section and button highlights, and resume your practice or start again.

More control over your deck details. • Enter exact wall lengths from the 2D plan or wall settings. • Keep your plan clearer with deck dimensions shown by default and other measurements shown when selected. • Show or hide a selected wall's dimension with the eye button. Wall and stair controls disappear when you deselect them. • Edit railing sections and posts on L-shaped, U-turn, and straight-stair landings. • Find the new Generate Blueprints button more easily, then add text, tags, and lines directly on the drawing sheets. • Suggest a feature or leave a review from Preferences. Review prompts appear after you've had time to use the app.

More room to design, more control over the details. • Enjoy a refreshed iPhone workspace with a larger drawing canvas, clearer tools, quick layers, and easy view switching. • Tap 2D dimensions to enter exact sizes. Add, move, and delete outline nodes, with 3-inch snapping while dragging. • Draw custom landings and concrete pads with the same flexible outline tools as decks. • Connect stairs to landings with automatic landing-height adjustment, and add stair support posts. • Use L-shaped and U-turn stairs in Basic mode. • Add your own lines, descriptions, and tags in Pro Blueprint. • Follow clearer, step-by-step Learn lessons with brighter highlights and new node-editing guidance. • Start projects from a refreshed home screen. • Includes fixes for stair placement, width editing, railing visibility, saving, and narrow stair controls.

More natural 3D views, clearer connections, and new ways to learn. • Explore richer surface finishes and five new colors with subtle variation. • Switch between fitted camera views. Flat views stay square while you pan, and Perspective uses a gentler lens. • Choose which deck, stair, landing, roof, and height dimensions appear in 3D. • Review improved railing connections across the model, 2D plans, blueprints, and material lists. • Choose flat-board picture-frame and divider supports, with matching framing and material quantities. • Select blocking directly in the 3D framing view. • Follow 18 guided Learn lessons covering layouts, framing, finishes, roofs, materials, and proposals. • Includes stair alignment and framing fixes.

Clearer stairs, framing, materials and 3D measurements. • Show bold deck and landing dimensions in 3D, with preset Perspective, Top, Front, Right, Back and Left views. • Read deck height directly from the elevation you entered. • Edit selected stairs from a settings screen with a live side-elevation drawing. • Improve L-shaped and U-turn landing framing, wall-supported landings, and stair railing spacing. • Place stairs using a gentle center snap and temporary midpoint guides. • Add optional joist blocking and picture-frame and divider-board support, including on stair landings. • Position dividers with 25%, 50% and 100% presets plus fine adjustments. At 100%, the divider reaches the deck edge. • Review stair profiles, landing beams and posts, and complete house walls in Pro Blueprint. • Improve material quantities and purchasing lists using available stock board lengths. • Choose decking colors using simple, generic descriptions. • Get clearer update notices and check for updates manually in Preferences.

More control over deck framing, roof design and blueprints. • Choose a full-deck beam or a beam covering only the selected section. • Select components directly in 3D to open their settings. • Explore improved shed, gable and hip roof framing, ceiling joists, and roof beam options. • Connect shed roofs to home roofs with optional eave cutback and matching infill siding. • See roof posts and concrete piers on footing plans, with clearer support labels and leader lines. • Move divider boards through their full range and keep finish selections stable while choosing colors. • Draw horizontal and vertical lines more reliably near walls. • Find decking colors under simpler, generic names while retaining your saved choices and prices. Roof blueprints are still in testing and may not be accurate. A new notice reminds you to verify roof details before using drawings for permits or construction.

This update gives you more control over drawing, railings and framing. • Deck drawing stays available on Basic after creating your first deck. • Draw in one-inch increments, enter exact edge lengths, and snap deck corners to nearby exterior walls. • Use Edit Rail to add, move and delete railing posts and sections. Drag posts to resize panels, with an eight-foot maximum or the selected product’s smaller limit. • Add one railing panel at a time with visible Add Post and Add Section buttons. • Select and delete deck support posts reliably. • Keep measurements on your plan when switching tools, then select and delete them when needed. • See roof posts in the 2D framing view and larger deck support-post markers. • Get an in-app notice when a newer compatible update is available. Railing edits and saved measurements stay with your project.

This update makes drawing and learning more comfortable on iPhone. • A simpler iPhone toolbar, a compact view menu, and project controls in a separate sheet. • Collapsible Learn instructions with easy-to-reach navigation. • Faint horizontal and vertical guides for deck and wall drawing, with alignment snapping and visual feedback on iPhone and iPad. • Fixed an issue where choosing Wall could unexpectedly open the Pro subscription screen. • Clearer Pro labeling for the roof option when creating a project.

New in Deck Flows 1.1: • Pro Blueprint: edit deck components and review deck, beam and footing, joist, railing, and schedule sheets with clear dimensions and descriptive leader lines. Requires Deck Flows Pro. • Set field-board materials together, enter railing brands and models, and choose left, right, or both stair handrails. • Improved stair positioning beside walls, live position previews, and separate stair-width dimensions. • A guided Pro Blueprint lesson using a practice deck, with subscription locks on Pro lessons. • Add 14-sided or rectangular pools and hot tubs, with deck openings, framing, railings, live deck-width measurements, and picture-frame borders. • Stronger project and price-guide import validation and safer spreadsheet exports. Blueprints are draft screen previews, not scaled permit documents or structural certification. Verify site conditions, dimensions, loads, connections, and local requirements before construction.
