Office · Floor plans
Rooms draw themselves.
Press Auto-draw and every numbered room on the floor plan is outlined, ready to accept.
How it works
It reads the room numbers printed on the plan and traces each room out to its walls. No AI involved.
What's new · Praxon 1.4
Less busywork. More time on the job.
Almost everything here started with something a crew ran into on a real job.
Floor plans and rooms
Everyone · Rooms
Every room finds its own drawings.
Open a room and its shop, work-order and architect sheets are already there.
How it works
Praxon matches the room numbers on each sheet to your room list, and opens the architect's sheet zoomed to the room.
Office · Floor plans
Floors come straight from your sets.
Pick the floor sheets from a set you already uploaded. Rooms carry over when it's revised.
How it works
When a newer revision is confirmed, the floor moves to it with its rooms, markups, punch pins and scale.
Everyone · Rooms
Tap a room. Everything opens beside it.
Status, budget, scopes, issues and photos, without leaving the plan.
Drawings
Office · Drawing sets
Sheet numbers fill themselves in.
Upload a set and each sheet's number is read for you.
How it works
It reads the title block and the PDF's bookmarks. Anything it isn't sure of waits for you to check.
Everyone · Drawings
Tap a reference, open the detail.
“See 3/A-501” is now a link that opens the sheet, zoomed to the detail.
How it works
Praxon reads the references on each sheet. If more than one sheet could match, it asks instead of guessing.
Everyone · Drawings
Sheets stay in your PDF's order.
Every sheet list follows the PDF you uploaded, and the office can drag sheets to reorder.
Office · Office to field
Office markups show up in the field.
Clouds, arrows and notes from the office appear on the crew's sheet, with who and when.
Everyone · Field iPad
Work-order drawings, right in the field.
Crews see the drawings engineering released, with the approved set one tap away.
New revisions
Office and field · Revisions
New revisions, one question at a time.
Praxon pairs the sure matches and asks you about the rest before the field sees anything.
How it works
A plan is never matched to an elevation, and nothing changes until you tap Update the field.
Field work
Everyone · iPhone and iPad
Punch it where you're standing.
Tap the spot on the drawing, snap a photo, pick the type, and it's pinned.
Field · No signal
No signal? Keep working.
Punches and photos save on the device and send when you're back online.
Everyone · Measure mode
Measure once, with a tape.
The office marks what to verify. The field walks each room and the tape fills in the numbers.
How it works
Readings come straight from a Bluetooth tape, and answers save with no signal on jobs saved to the device.
No updates match. Try another word, or show Everyone.
Also in 1.4
Sharper zoom on big sheets.
Detail loads as you zoom in, so small dimensions stay readable.
Older revisions stay exact.
A replaced sheet opens as it was, with a link to the current one.
Sketch and dimension in the field.
Draw walls, doors and windows, add dimensions, and issue a revision as a PDF.
Add a job straight from Innergy.
Pick an Innergy job and Praxon builds the project with its rooms, hours and work orders.
You asked. We built it.
- Every floor plan reachable in the field, not just the first one.
- Sheets that link to their rooms.
- Keep sheets in the order of the PDF, and let us reorder them.
- A newer version of the same sheet number replaces the old one after the office confirms, and old versions stay available.
- Carry room locations to the newest floor plan sheet when it's revised.
- Show the field the work-order drawings first, with the approved drawing one tap away.
- Open the field on the last floor plan used.
- Keep the role names in view while scrolling the permissions page.
- Use shop drawing floor plans, not only the architect's, as the room map.
Everything else we improved
Drawings
Large sets upload straight to storage, resume where they stopped, and are slimmed without changing a page. Cover and index sheets stay out of room drawers. Sheet links are a thin ring on the bubble. "Report an issue" is in every drawing's menu.
Measuring
Tables, utility stamps, curved walls and round columns on shop drawings; a run tool; units switch.
Rooms
Status colors you can read the casework through. Rooms with history can't be deleted.
Field app
The app opens with no signal; saves never hang (they queue after 5 seconds); capture time is kept; Retry and Discard on stuck items.
Photos
Photos taken offline upload on reconnect; office photo reports by room, source and date.
Punch and issues
Send a field issues report; create punch or issues from selected photos; numbered items.
Clock
Review your day, change activity or room, split a line; week view.
Tools, vehicles and rentals
Take out and put back tools, load-a-van walk, add a vehicle from a VIN photo, rentals with due-back dates.
Schedule
Drafts stay off the calendar; moving a committed block asks why; holidays and shutdowns are editable; calendar feeds.
Office
Open Items replaces the work queue; Threads; operations board grid; reports you can send; roles, permissions and teams.
