01 – TurboSite v4 from IMSI/Design is a major new upgrade to this award-winning app for CAD professionals in the field.

No more lugging plans into a building.  Your 2D and 3D DWG/PDF/DXF/DWF drawings can be stored both in the cloud and on your iPad or iPhone. Navigation is blazingly fast.  GPS or SPS™ knows where you’re at in your plan with or without connectivity.  At any spot, create a correctly geolocated GeoMark™ and, using the built-in camera, take as many photos, videos, dictation, and text notes that you want at that exact spot.  Instantly assign punch lists items to your team.  Redline a 2D or 3D drawing with powerful markup, dimension, and inquiry tools, including AutoShapes, an easy way to draw accurate geometry with simple gestures.  Calibrate 2D PDFs for area take-offs and measurements for easy estimating. You can even have a real-time video conference via FaceTime or Skype from directly in your building plan.  Wrap up by punching and sharing your report electronically with your entire design and construction team at the touch of a button… or instantly print a highly-customized PDF report and distribute hardcopy.  Either way, creating a field report has never been so easy.
