User Reviews for Morpholio Trace - Sketch CAD

Powerful Conceptualization App

Morpholio Trace is an amazing app that I’ve integrated into my everyday workflow. Being an architectural designer I am constantly asked to quickly produce visual ideas to help communicate ideas to clients and the pubic. Morpholio has allowed me to create repeatable styles, that in turn, has allow me to do even more professionally with the app. The power in it for me is the simple yet powerful tools and being able to easily switch between them, almost like using my analogy drawing tools. The Multi PDF importer is one of my favorite features, and being able to swap out individual background pages and update sketches is a huge time saver. In my opinion a lot of effort and thought has been given to how people think while using the app, it’s very intuitive. The subscription is also worth it in my option for all the features. Although I’m a millennial, I’ve had a lot of old school training in the architecture profession and Morpholio Trace allows me to think through that processes I’ve developed, while having the power of undo and digital sketching.

I hoped for better... I’ll be cancelling

I think this app is way over rated. It’s really just a sketching app, nothing you can do any precision with, and Procreate is FAR BETTER to sketch with. Don’t expect any kind of precision measuring or drawing detail. Zooming in is terribly pixelated. The perspective tool is so frustrating due to lack of detail and raster images. Lines don’t snap so your perspective lines can be way off. With perspective turned on the apple pencil has serious parallax and lag. If zoomed in even a little the pencil won’t draw or draws on the wrong projection line while in perspective. This is completely unacceptable and makes the perspective function useless for anything other than very rough concept sketching. Procreate’s perspective is much better.Layers are really frustrating; you can’t merge layers or copy selections to new layers, if you want to draw on a lower layer you have to turn off the ones above rather than select the lower level. If you want a higher resolution zoomed in, you have to create a new layer; but then you can’t merge layers, so you end up with tons of layers.

Would love Trace w/ multiple pages

I enjoy Trace on my iPad Pro (w/ Apple Pencil) as well as other programs like Concepts, and AutoDesk’s SketchBook, but none support multiple pages. As an artist and product designer, I digitally sketch all the time and import photos, renderings, and maps, BUT having to create a new “Project” for every sketch is very cumbersome, time-consuming, and slows down my workflow. To me, a single sketch with layers isn’t a “Project.” A project typically has many “Pages” or “Drawings.” And while I use Morpholio Journal for day-to-day notes/sketching as well, it has very limited tools. Ideally, I’d like Trace and Journal combined, while still allowing both to act as their own stand-alone products. Imagine being able to flip through multiple pages in Trace, then be able to flatten and export the entire set of pages as a PDF to send to clients and consultants! It would REALLY be powerful. I’d use it all the time. Maybe one day. Until then, each sketch is considered a single “Project.”

Love it!!!

For the record, I’m a Landscape Architect and Planner. I’ve completely incorporated it into my daily workflow, now that working out of the office has become somewhat difficult (COVID-19). After this has come to pass, not sure I’d go back to actual trace and scales, unless necessary... that’s how well this works. Customer service (Joey) is outstanding! Assisted with a fairly significant issue within hours (I hadn’t updated my OS to the latest). Offered suggestions and they got back to immediately with dialog regarding it. Two items I’m hoping for improvement on: 1. Better ability for scaling PDF exports. The current scales are fairly limited. CS said they’re already working on this and to keep an eye out. 2. I’d like to see a pencil tool. It currently has technical pens, sharpies, markers, etc., even chalk... but having a drawing tool that reflects just a simple colored pencil, would be awesome. Other than those two items, it’s perfect IF you use it for the way it was intended.

99% awesome

This is an app I didn’t know I needed. I work with a volunteer group for remodeling and updating buildings. One of the things we do is make sketches of the existing conditions. After much searching I decided on notability. However after accidentally running across this app, OMG it fits my workflow perfectly. Scaling, straight lines, layers, stencils, everything about this app is exactly what I needed. I do have one complaint, I hate to even mention it. It’s text… first of all each text is on its own layer which can add a lot of layers. Annoying, but I can kinda live with that. But when you insert text, then have to resize box to fit text. Then you have to accept text then try to move it, and resize it, which sometimes is very difficult. Edit/place/resize is different than rotate and move, so you have multiple steps to get it resized, rotated, and moved. Very time consuming….. If the text was improved, I would give this app a 20 star if I could. I did get the subscription, because all of the other features. Thanks for making a great app, and sorry I had to rant on the text feature…

Best App for Architects

Wow.....It has been 2 years since I started using Morpholio Trace and I can’t believe I never shared a review! This app was created by architects looking for a natural way to use a tablet the same way we use tracing paper while sketching. Obviously, the physical differences between drawing on paper and glass are infinite but I think Morpholio Trace does an outstanding job on trying to replicate the way architects and designers communicate their ideas through sketching. Like any other app, at first, you need to figure out how it works, but once you get to it, the app becomes really simple to use. The use of layers like tracing paper and the capability to scale your sketches, makes Morpholio Trace a powerful tool for meetings with clients where you can make changes in real time. I know you cannot replace paper and pencil with a tablet and a stylus yet, but I think you can’t stop technology and Morpholio Trace makes the transition easier and more natural when it comes to sketching.

I'm beta testing the new Morpholio Trace

Im not a pro at it by any means but I gave it a five. It's a little complicated at first, in comparison to some others and I really don't recommend it for the iPhone because it is really a professional app that any designer could benefit from. There is a learning curve. There are more simple apps that are probably better for beginners. I give it five stars because it is great in the fact it is so clean in its ui and for the short time Ive been using it, I believe it is perfect for someone to hold their best work. I think it would be a wonderful add for someone that is a professional designer of any kind. It's has to be a little complicated in order for it to have the features that it is packed with. I think once I learn more, and can intuitively know all of the tools and changing them when I need to, I will pay for it with my design projects. So if you know Morpholio well, and have the app mastered, you will be just as happy with the up dated version. You have a lot to look forward to. I'm going to play more with this app. One thing I wish I knew how to send my stencils to creative cloud, or to render a Psd file. It probably is able to be done but I am a novice in that department. Such a beautiful app

I made the switch from decades of hand drawing to Morpholio Trace

A little over a year ago a landscape architect friend suggested I try Morpholio Trace. He knew I did only hand drawing and had expressed interest in ‘some day switching to digital if a program ever comes out that is as easy and natural as hand drawing’. I’ve drafted and sketched since in high school, decades ago, and just didn’t love the straight jacket that CAD or other programs put on the fluidity of the design process - especially for landscape architecture. If I was ever going to switch from hand drawing, the new way was going to have to just as easy, fun, inspiring, and precise, in order to entice me to devote the time and money to try it. The same day my friend suggested I look up Morpholio Trace I was sold, and so purchased an iPad Pro and iPencil and spent a couple of days diving in and testing in on one project design. From that moment I’ve never gone back to drawing or designing on paper, even to do site measures.

Good for me good for you

I was skeptical to be honest but I really needed an app/ program that could do if not all most and in this case about 85% which worked for me most of the app is skill based and imagination based how good you are to imagin the world and be on its on you skill base is using the tools and new innovative was to use a tool for one thing the to make something completely different . The only bad thing was using the 3D thing like the model the view with the 3 images in 3D , they did not have a 3D program or way of making a 3D model to then add so I had to opt out to us a third party which was lame and not compatible with trace , or it was super basic and I had to pay a rediculous amount for subscription so if they "trace" would have included this or added it with the premium version it would have been cool any ways great app thanx !

Invaluable, simple but robust tool with support from real people

I own a design-build firm, so my team and I spend time both conceptualizing/developing designs as well as redlining plans. This app so quickly integrated itself as an essential tool for us. Marking up plans is easy, though we did have issues at first with the legibility of our markup upon export but just had to learn a few tricks. Equally as important, sketching over massing or just doodling is as simple or complex/refined as you want it to be. One of the most impressive things though is the customer support. I recently had a function I couldn’t get to work so I reached out. To my surprise a member of the team emailed me back shortly, conversed with me about the tool that had been removed, asked my opinion about reinstating it, and later even followed up just to let me know that an update was coming out that would restore what I was looking for. It was quite refreshing to talk to a member of the team who cared about the outcome instead of simply navigating some automated system of troubleshooting. Five stars guys, keep it up!
