Photometrics menu

The Photometrics menu contains tools to load scanned images of hand drawings, floor plans, and even blueprints or aerial photography, that you can then calibrate and trace within FH Sketch. This is an excellent option for those properties that are difficult/impossible to measure. It can be used to determine square footage or as a visual reference when drawing.
