Explain dimensions quickly
Dimension and shape tools help users clarify small field questions without preparing a formal drawing package.
Sketches for visual project notes
Create user-owned sketch records with paper size, scale, layers, drawing objects and image references so quick visual explanations stay structured.

Feature functions
Sketch records backed by drawing data
The Sketches module uses dedicated tables for folders, sketches, layers, groups, images, drawing objects and revisions, so the page describes the implemented drawing model instead of a generic whiteboard.
User-owned sketch folders
Paper size, orientation and scale
Text, line, rectangle, ellipse, polygon and freehand tools
Dimension drawing support
Layers with visibility, lock and opacity
Image object storage
Object grouping and transforms
Sketch revision records
Workflow
From field idea to structured visual note
Sketches is meant for visual clarification work where a quick drawing, dimension or markup can explain a condition faster than a paragraph.
01
Create the sketch
Set title, folder, paper size, orientation, display unit and scale for the visual record.
02
Draw with context
Use drawing objects such as text, lines, shapes, freehand marks, dimensions, symbols and images.
03
Manage drawing structure
Use layers, groups and revision rows to keep the sketch organized as it changes.
The sketch data model supports paper settings, layers, objects, images and revision history.
Screenshots
Sketches in context
Review sketch records with clear paper setup, canvas context and folder organization so visual notes remain structured.
Sketch records store title, paper configuration, scale and display units.
Project value
Why construction teams need visual notes
Some coordination issues are best explained with a quick drawing. Sketches keeps those visuals in a structured workspace record.
Keep markups organized
Layers and object groups give visual notes structure as they become more detailed.
Add visual references
Image objects allow a sketch to include pasted or uploaded visual context where supported by the module.
Connected ArchiMesh modules
Sketches support field clarification
Visual notes are most useful when they can sit next to notes, RFIs, defects and plans.
Turn quick sketches into project memory.
ArchiMesh gives visual notes a structured home beside drawings, tasks, RFIs, defects and site records.
