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