How to draw
- Sketch (default on a phone): pick a pen and draw with your finger like on paper. Outline (dark) = house, doors and labels; Trench = green; Drill slab = black dashes; Crawl = yellow dashes inside the walls; Inside = inside slab walls (soil, foam or Bora-Care, picked under the graph); Untreated = gray (not counted).
- Undo stroke takes back the last line, Eraser removes the line you tap, Clear sketch starts over. Two fingers move and zoom the graph; swipe outside the graph to scroll the page.
- Footage: type what you measured in the boxes under the graph (trench, drilled, crawl LF, or sq ft on pre-construction). A blank box uses a rough EST. from the sketch; a typed number always wins. Gallons, price, the Ag graph, quote and certificate use these numbers.
- Straighten (Sketch toolbar) turns your finger lines into clean, to-scale walls: corners snap to the 1 ft grid, nearly straight walls snap square (45° only when clearly drawn that way) and line ends that nearly touch are joined. You see a dashed preview first; Use straight walls switches to Point & click with the same wall table, per-wall treatment and rates. Trench pen = Trench, Drill pen = Drill slab, Untreated = Don't treat, Outline = Auto; a Crawl line inside an outline makes that building a crawl space. Undo straighten brings the sketch back.
- Tap a wall length on the graph (Point & click, including straightened walls) to type the measured length right there. The corners after that wall move with it; if the walls no longer meet, fix the matching wall the same way or tap Close shape.
- Drag corners and walls: tap a shape, then tap Move. Round handles sit on its corners: drag one to move just that corner (snaps to 1 ft). The small arrow handle beside each wall pushes that whole wall straight in or out; the walls on each side stretch to stay connected. Dragging inside the shape still moves the whole shape. Undo (next to Move) takes back the last corner or wall change.
- Select a wall: with the shape selected, tap right on a wall line. It turns orange and a small bar offers Treatment, Length, Split wall and Delete wall. Split wall drops a new corner where you tapped (snaps to the grid) so you can drag a jog or give each half its own treatment or rate. Deleting leaves the outline open at that spot (red dashed OPEN gap) and the other walls stay put.
- Reconnect an open building: if a wall was deleted, a drawing was left unfinished, or the walls don't meet, the shape shows a red dashed OPEN gap. Select it, then tap Close shape to add a straight wall between the two open ends, or tap Continue wall (or the gold A/B handle on an open end) and tap new corners. Tap the other open end (or Close shape) to close it again. New walls use Auto treatment and the job's default rates. Undo takes the last add or close back. If a deleted wall split an open line into two pieces, Continue wall and tap the other piece's end to join them.
- Garage or addition: tap Add on, start on the house wall, draw the 3 outside walls, end on the house wall. The shape closes along the house wall, so the two buildings share ONE wall: it is not counted twice and is Don't treat unless you set its treatment (select the wall). Corners snap to nearby corners and walls (orange ring) so you don't have to hit them exactly; after a two-finger pinch, lift both fingers before tapping again.
- Point & click (default on a computer) is the precise mode below. Whichever method is selected at the top of the graph is the one that counts.
- + Rectangle (below the graph) is fastest for square buildings: pick the shape, type width and depth in feet, then X/Y from the house's top-left corner. Draw walls is for L-shapes and odd footprints: tap each corner (snaps to 1 ft), then tap the first corner or Close shape.
- Fix wall lengths in Select: tap a shape, then type the measured length of each wall in the table under the graph. If the walls don't meet, fix a length or tap Close shape.
- Treatment per wall (same table): Auto = trench where there is soil, drill where a porch/patio slab touches; Trench = solid green; Drill slab = black dashes with yellow drill-hole dots; Don't treat (not treated) = thin gray dashes. Crawl space interior walls = blue line just inside the building.
- Rates and depth to footer: in 3 · Treatment details (or on a selected building) pick Depth to footer (1 to 4 ft, half-foot steps). The exterior trench/drill rate defaults to the product rate × that depth: Termidor SC is 4 gal/10 ft per ft, max 4 ft (4, 8, 12 or 16); Termidor HE is 2 gal/10 ft per ft, max 2 ft (2 or 4). If you pick a depth over the product max, it is capped and a short note says so. To set a rate for a whole building (for example 2 gal/10 ft on a garage add-on), select it and type This building's exterior rate; that applies to every trench/drill wall of that building and is what the graph, legend, gallons and PDF use, even when the job depth default is 4. To change one wall only, type it in that wall's gal/10 ft box; blank = the building's rate (or the job / depth-to-footer default); 0 means no product on that line. Crawl / interior rates are not multiplied by footer depth. Each treated wall shows its rate on the graph as a small tag (e.g. “12 gal/10'”) next to the length or on the other side of the wall; a typed override has an asterisk (e.g. “8 gal/10'*”). Untreated walls have no rate tag. Rates: On / Off (graph toolbar, defaults On) hides or shows every rate tag, on the graph, the Ag export, the quote diagram and the Save graph PDF. Saved with the job. Treated trench, drill, crawl and inside-soil walls are color-coded by that rate (the same rate is always the same color on a job). The legend shows a color swatch for each rate in use (for example 2 gal / 10 ft and 8 gal / 10 ft), with the linear feet at that rate, plus the depth to footer. Drill stays dashed with gold holes, crawl and inside-soil stay dashed, untreated / shared walls stay gray. The legend shows the depth.
- Inside slab walls (soil, wall foam or Bora-Care): select a slab building, tick Treat inside walls and pick the method; every wall gets it, untick a wall in the table for partial treatment or change one wall's method. Soil = green dashes (counts in LF and gallons at the Interior rate), Wall foam = black dots, Bora-Care = yellow dash-dot (amount and mix go in Additional products). In Sketch, use the Inside pen just inside the walls and pick its method under the graph; Straighten turns it into Treat inside walls on that building.
- Crawl space piers: tap + Pier, pick a size (12×12, 16×16, 24×24 in or custom), then tap inside the crawl space for each pier. Tap a pier to change its size, Duplicate it, Copy row (N piers at X ft spacing) or Delete; Move drags it. Treated LF = each pier's perimeter. Drawn piers replace the typed pier count.
- Plumbing penetrations: in Add note pin, tap PP ✓ Treated or PP ○ Not treated, then tap each penetration; each tap drops a pin. Treated = filled pin with a green check, not treated = hollow. Change it on the pin in Graph notes.
- Treated LF by structure: in the estimate, each building and add-on (House, Garage, etc.) shows its treated linear feet, with trench, drill, crawl or piers under that section. Shared and Don't-treat walls are left off. A Total treated linear feet line and the price follow; there is no separate LF list. The same per-structure breakdown is on the customer link, FieldRoutes notes and the graph PDF.
- Measurements: On / Off (graph toolbar) hides or shows every wall length label at once, on the graph, the Ag export and the quote diagram. The lengths still count in every total. Saved with the job. Rate tags stay visible unless you also turn Rates off.
- Note pins: tap Add note pin, choose a category, then a clean single tap on the graph drops a pin (the mode stays on, with a pill on the graph, until you tap Add note pin again or Select). A drag, scroll, pinch or a tap right after a two-finger zoom does not drop a pin. Type the note in Graph notes. Attach photos to a pin there. In Move, touch the pin and drag it a short way (about 10 px) to move it; a plain tap will not nudge it.
- Move drags a shape or pin. Fit to screen re-centers the drawing. Load sample house shows a finished example (it replaces the current drawing).
Legend

Add a rectangle
X/Y are feet from the house's top-left corner (0,0). Example: a 10×12 garage on the right side of a 40×30 house starts at X 40, Y 0.

Job photos not tied to a pin
Photos are shrunk to 1600 px and kept on this device (not in the saved estimate list). They print on photo pages in the PDF, keyed to pin numbers.

Mark them on the graph with the F (foam injection point) and BC pins, or a Bora-Care treated wood area shape. Each one prints in the Treatment Summary on the Dept. of Ag export (product, EPA Reg. No., amount, mix, area; never a price). A price is optional: it is added to the estimate and quote total.
