Want to draw a duct layout, show equipment placement on the 3D floor plan? Draw something else? Then want to add it to your design report?

Here's how

1. Open the project and locate the correct floor plan

2. Take a screenshot

  • Use the iPad's built-in method for taking a screenshot by pressing the power and volume + buttons at the same time.

3. Annotate the screenshot with drawing tools

  • Pro tip: Long-press with your finger or stylus pen after drawing a line or shape to straighten it automatically.

  • Add labels or symbols for items like registers and outdoor units.

4. Save the screenshot to your Photo library

  • When the markup is complete, tap the check mark to finish.

  • Save the edited image to Photos.

5. Upload the image back into Amply

  • Return to Amply.

  • Tap the plus sign to add a new item.

  • Select the picture icon to open Photos.

  • Choose the saved screenshot and upload it
