The '''OrthoGraph I''' is a building survey and floor plan creation application for iOS and Android, developed in Hungary. It handles both structured alphanumeric data, and measures and handles all drawings real time in 3D. It has built-in Cloud functionality so files can be shared on multiple tablets or phones.<ref>{{cite web|last1=OrthoGraph|first1=OrthoGraph|title=OrthoGraph's website|url=http://www.orthograph.net|website=orthograph.net|accessdate=3 March 2015}}</ref>

The application handles the sketched and measured building-model according to the [[Building information modeling|BIM]] (Building Information Modeling) concept. It means that it handles a hierarchical location-structure, every placed object has several properties, doors and windows have opening directions, and additionally there is the opportunity to add unique parameter fields with optional information.
The system is developed by the Hungarian Company named OrthoGraph.

==Software overview==
The story of OrthoGraph goes back to 2004 when the first version of the software was launched for [[Personal digital assistant|PDA]] devices. In 2011, the iPad version of the app was released and this also meant that a new business model has been emerged.
OrthoGraph I can capture data from third-party distance measuring devices (from Leica, Bosch and Stabila).<ref>{{cite web|last1=White|first1=Jack|title=Company Spotlight|url=http://www.bimcrunch.com/company-spotlight-orthograph/|website=www.bimcrunch.com/company-spotlight-orthograph/|publisher=BIMcrunch|accessdate=3 March 2015}}</ref> Data is transferred via Bluetooth, with floorplan outputs shareable with users on other devices.<ref>{{cite web|last1=OrthoGraph|first1=OrthoGraph|title=OrthoGraph's website|url=http://www.orthograph.net|website=orthograph.net|accessdate=3 March 2015}}</ref>{{unreliable source?|date=February 2021}}
This new version was a major breakthrough both in technological and in business aspects. The company’s gathered experience had been a good background for developing the iPad application, so from the very first moment, the OrthoGraph became one of the top professional building surveying /CAD application on the market.


Supported formats include [[AutoCAD DXF|DXF]] ([[AutoCAD]]), [[Portable Document Format|PDF]] (Adobe), [[Industry Foundation Classes|IFC]] (Industrial Foundation Classes), [[JPEG]], and [[Portable Network Graphics|PNG]]. Data can also be exported to [[ArchiCAD]] using a separate module.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Geo-matching.com|title=GEo-Matching-database|url=https://geo-matching.com/cad-software/orthograph-architect|website=Geo-matching.com|accessdate=19 February 2021}}</ref>
In 2013, a cooperation agreement has been established between OrthoGraph and Leica, the result of this collaboration was that now several Leica laser distance meter is supported by OrthoGraph, the measurements can be transferred to the app via Bluetooth connection.

OrthoGraph I is a building survey and floorplan creation application for iOS and Android mobile operating systems, developed by OrthoGraph, a software developer based in Budapest, Hungary. The software can be used to support building information modeling processes.

Product history

[edit]

The first version of OrthoGraph was released in 2004 for PDA devices. An iPad version of the application was released in 2011.[1][2]

In 2013, a cooperation agreement was established between OrthoGraph and Leica, so that several Leica laser distance meters were supported by OrthoGraph's application. Bluetooth support for the Bosch GLM 100 C laser distance meter also became available. OrthoGraph also developed its own cloud computing services.[3][unreliable source?]

In 2014, the number of OrthoGraph users reached 4,500, and, in August 2014, the OrthoGraph Architect App won App of the Year and was silver winner in the Most Innovative Product of the Year—SMB category in Best in Biz Awards 2014 international business awards program.[4]

In 2015 OrthoGraph began developing its Android version. In September 2016, a multi-platform version of the app was published, called OrthoGraph I, with a new user interface, more accurate measurement, and faster workflows. OrthoGraph I won silver qualification in the "Best New Version of the Year" category of Best in Biz Awards 2016.

Software overview

[edit]

OrthoGraph I can capture data from third-party distance measuring devices (from Leica, Bosch and Stabila).[5] Data is transferred via Bluetooth, with floorplan outputs shareable with users on other devices.[6][unreliable source?]

Supported formats include DXF (AutoCAD), PDF (Adobe), IFC (Industrial Foundation Classes), JPEG, and PNG. Data can also be exported to ArchiCAD using a separate module.[7]
