Planned
Would like to add Clip Art images to Measure Mobile projects
Gus
During the process of placing seams for sheet vinyl, it is important to know where water using appliances are. For instance, we try to not put seams by a refrigerator or a sink. When measuring a property with multiple floorplans, it is nice to be able to add clip art of sinks, toilets, and refrigerators so we do not have to remember later. Any plans of adding the clip art ability in Measure Mobile?

Hi Gus,
Thanks for the question! You now have the ability to search the royalty free Google Poly library for 3D objects. When inserted into a drawing, they can also be viewed in 2D mode and are visible on the Room Plan.
We're working on some refinements to this feature, including giving you a predefined set of 3D clipart, or objects.
Please let us know if you have any feedback when using this feature. Thanks!
That is a great feature! However this assumes the user has an active internet connection. Also, I noticed that when importing, the user always has to scale the objects. For example, I imported a toilet, and the object had a width of 10 feet. Its just one more step to take while on property in situations where speed is key. Maybe there could be a way to build a "quick library" on the management site which is loaded when users open measure? This could have a set of common used elements at correct sizes so users do not have to search and scale each time an object is needing to be input.
Gus,
You're feedback is spot on. We intend to do the following:
I also like your feedback regarding correct size and scale. Perhaps that can be incorporated into #2 as well.
I do I do not see the Poly library on my screen. I have a Clip Art icon which takes me to a search box. The challenge here is you must know what is available to search for. Example, Chair returns 25 images ( yes, a lot of chairs when 4 or 5 would be enough)
Washer, Dryer, Sink, Toilet return no results. It would be helpful to be able view the library, or categories in the library, to know exactly what is available. There may be some great images available, but I have no way of knowing. The Clip Art function in Desktop at least allows you to preview the library, as well as add your own images. If the Mobile library was the same as Desktop default library at least one would know what they have to work with.
What is the timing for having simple clip art shapes like the attached photo? For users like us who use this in 2D only, this was a key feature in Measure Desktop and would be great to have this as an option for users in Measure mobile. Please consider simple shapes for Measure Mobile.
Kurt's notice that things were being worked on is now over 2 years old with no added or improved functionality.
So this will be worked on now? What would a status change to on this ticket?
Gus and JC:
I just checked our internal development roadmap and can confirm that 2D clipart and improvements to the 3D Library are planned. Unfortunately when it comes to prioritization, other items have slightly edged these out. Based on the history of this request I am hesitant to specify any dates, but I believe early- to mid-2021 should see these improvements being implemented.
