Marketing

Build a property brochure from a template — property details, branding, photos with crop, Pencil annotations, and a WYSIWYG PDF.

The Marketing engine is the app’s document engine: a polished, print-ready PDF built on top of a floor plan — pretty, not dimension-heavy. See the feature overview; this is the how-to.

It works differently from the other engines: instead of placing things on the plan, you work in a paginated page editor, and the floor plan is rendered as one crisp slot on the page. What you see is exactly what exports.

Add the engine and pick a template

Add the Marketing engine and choose a template — the engine lays everything out, you fill in the content:

TemplatePagesLayout
Classic1Large plan, details row, description + features, branded footer
Gallery2A plan page plus a 2×2 photo-grid page
Split1Plan on the left, details + description + features on the right
Compact1Plan plus a hero photo and headline specs
Multi-roomNOne plan per floor

Tap a slot on the page (or a rail section) to edit it.

Property details

Fill in the property form: address, headline, price text, bedrooms, bathrooms, receptions, tenure, EPC rating, key features and a description.

Branding

Set the agent name and contact, a logo, and an accent colour. The footer carries a disclaimer (default “Plan for illustrative purposes only — not to scale.”) that prints on every page.

Photos

Templates with photo slots (Compact’s hero, Gallery’s 2×2 grid) let you add images from the camera roll or Files. Photos are aspect-filled, never stretched, with a drag-to-pan and zoom crop so the important part stays in frame, plus an optional caption. Replace or remove any photo.

Annotations (iPad/iPhone)

Use the Annotate mode to mark up any page with Apple Pencil or your finger. Annotations render into both the preview and the PDF. (On Mac, annotations made on iOS are shown but can’t be drawn — an SDK limitation.)

Layers & marketing mode

The plan slot respects eight layer flags (measurements, furniture, grid, room labels, scale bar, north arrow, floor area, door swings). Marketing mode (on by default, one tap) applies a clean preset — grid, dimensions and door swings off; room names, scale bar, north and floor area on — without changing your working drawing.

Floor area

Area is computed automatically and shown in both m² and ft² (UK particulars quote both). Override it with an exact figure when you need to.

Export

Export a multi-page PDF at A4 or US Letter (portrait by default). Because the preview and the PDF use the same layout, the export is pixel-identical to what you see. The “not to scale” disclaimer prints in every footer.
