BrickLayer app for iPhone and iPad
Brick Layer is a CAD like tool for designing brick walls or other structures with or without grout (or concrete) width (inter tile gaps). This application allows the user to design their brick layout in a single layer active drawing space. Here, the user can place any number of structural corner points to define an arbitrary polygon or shape for the structure to be bricked and the system builds the layout instantly. Users can move these points and watch the brick layout instantly rebuild to show the impact of their change in number of regular bricks and count and shape of cut tiles. The user can also set any size brick and the size of the desired grout (concrete) width (or space between tiles). Works great on either the iPhone or iPad.
Hints on use:
System comes up with an initial shape. Move the corners around to set the shape of your wall or structure. If you make unreasonable shape changes, the system will return to the initial shape.
Tap and hold outside the property (tiled) perimeter to add a property point in between the nearest two points.
Double tap on corner points to view details and set the locations directly. You can also delete the corner points here. Must maintain at least three to have an area to brick.
You can scroll and zoom as with regular IOS apps. Double tap on any of the brick shapes to bring up the details on that specific brick. IN this dialog, you can reset the shape / size of the standard (non-cut) tiles and the grout width (or space between tiles).
The statistics are provide along the top edge of the resulting standard (full) and cut bricks needed for the current drawing.
Have fun and be more productive in design, estimating and development ...
