Transcript

Create your account. Welcome to the designer. Everything runs in your browser, with nothing to install. Create your account on the overview page with your name, email and role, and an access code if you have one.

Sign in with an emailed link. There is no password. Open the link we email you and your device stays signed in for about six months. On another device, ask for a fresh link from the access page.

Start a design. The designer opens with a start menu: the sample site, a townhouse or granny flat sample, your own address, a boundary you draw, or a D X F survey.

Inputs, design view and data. The screen has three parts. Inputs on the left: Site, Criteria, Generate, Costs and Finance. The design view in the middle: Plan, Floors, 3D, Compare and Report. And the data panel on the right, with the key figures, unit program, areas and compliance.

The top bar. The top bar names the design and saves it on your device as you work. It holds undo and redo, My designs, Share, Export, Feedback and the guide. Press Feedback at any time to send a note to the team.

Try it on a real site.

Create your account, then open the designer and load the sample or search your own address. A$299 a month, cancel any time, or free with an access code; in your browser, no password.
