Scribe Sketch
Productivity
Free
For Property Professionals wanting to create accurate building layouts and area calculations, Scribe removes the stress from measuring, drawing up, and creating floor plans and 3D models of properties. Unlike other applications, Scribe is a low-cost and easy-to-learn option, allowing a user with little experience to start modelling properties within minutes.
Is Scribe free to use?
After creating an account (free) you'll be able to use Scribe in its entirety for sketching your property (still free!). Your account will include 3 (free!) credits which you can use to export in our various formats, including JPG, PDF and a hosted model (URL sharing).
After using all your credits, Scribe is still free to sketch plans, but you'll need to top up to continue exporting. For full details on pricing, please visit https://scribe.software/pricing
Do you have an issue?
Scribe probably already does what you need, so don't rush to leave a review if you can't figure something out! Rather, contact us here so we can help you: scribesupport@apex-mt.com

First, any software like this for Apple products needs to either allow photos from apple device camera, or it needs to at least allow the apple formatted picture to attach, otherwise that feature is useless. Second, there is no clean way to export or print just one file, let alone a bunch of files in mass. We visit 200-300 properties a week and need to sketch all of those out, need something more user friendly that can add photos, allow for hand written notes, etc. You guys are falling behind the tech 8-ball on your products and if you don’t catch up someone is going to catch you and put you out of business. Hire someone who can get it done for you because your current developers aren’t getting it done and we are getting antsy to find something that does meet our needs.
