SKETCH WINDOW OVERVIEW

In Sketch, you can draw accurate graphical representations of the rooms or buildings being estimated, similar to a floor plan. When you create a drawing in Sketch, several variables are automatically calculated to save time while scoping an estimate.

• To view a Sketch, open an estimate, and click Sketch.

• To turn the Sketch panes on or off:
• 1. On the Sketch window, click Options.
  2. Click Visible Windows.
  3. Select the panes that you want to view.

• You can also click Auto hide to pin the pane(s) to the edge of the Sketch window.
