§02 · Capabilities

Built for the way architects actually draw.

Not a raster screenshot. Not a flattened PDF. Every output is a properly-structured CAD file that respects how you work - layered, scaled, and georeferenced.

FT.01

Editable CAD layers

Buildings, roads, kerbs, rail, water, boundaries - each on a named layer, correctly typed, ready to trace.

FT.02
ZOOM 1:500

Precise scales & extents

Pick anything from 1:200 block plans to 1:2500 location plans. Define extent by radius, address, or drawn boundary.

FT.03
DWGDXFPDF

DWG + DXF delivery

Delivered in R2018 DWG plus DXF for legacy compatibility, ready for architectural and planning workflows.

E 530412.8N 181120.5OSGB36 · BNG

Georeferenced to BNG

Every drawing lands in the British National Grid (OSGB36 / EPSG:27700) so it stacks with survey data perfectly.

FT.05
RED LINE

Red-line title plans

Add HM Land Registry title polygons as a locked boundary layer for planning submissions.

Six layers.
One coherent plan.

Each CAD map ships as a structured stack. Turn layers on and off, freeze what you don't need, or pull a single feature class into your template. Nothing is baked in.
