What does Rotate turn?

The plan sheet. Turn the whole sheet to straighten a skewed scan or bring a sideways sheet the right way up, then measure and mark up on the level.

Will rotating the plan affect my measurements?

No. Rotate changes how the plan sits on screen so it is easier to measure and mark up. Your scale and measurements stay intact.

Is it good for crooked scans?

Yes. Rotate is built for exactly that, squaring up sideways and skewed plans so you can work on the level.

Does the rotation carry through to print and share?

Yes. Orient the plan the way you want and it prints and shares facing the right way.

Is Rotate on the free plan?

Yes. Rotate is on every plan, including Free. The paid plans lift the limits on projects, plans and markups, so you can take on bigger jobs.

Can I rotate by any angle or just 90 degrees?

You can spin the sheet to the angle you want, not just flip it in quarter turns. That is what lets you straighten a skewed scan that came in a few degrees off square.

Can I undo a rotation if I turn it too far?

Yes. Rotate just changes how the plan sits on screen, so you can spin it back or nudge it until it is square. Your scale and measurements stay put the whole time.

From problem to outcome

From a crooked scan to a plan you can work

Rotate is for the plans that never come in straight, skewed scans and sideways sheets, where the drawing is fine but the angle makes measuring and marking up a pain.

Step 1

Open the plan

Load the sheet even if it came in on an angle or the wrong way up.

Step 2

Rotate it square

Turn the plan to the angle you want so everything lines up.

Step 3

Measure and mark up

Work on a level sheet, so lengths, areas, and notes go on clean.

The old way

Working on a crooked plan is a grind

A skewed or sideways plan makes every measurement harder to place and every mark-up look messy, and craning your neck at the screen does not fix it.

Skewed scans make measuring fiddly
Sideways sheets are hard to read and mark up
Crooked plans print and share badly

Testimonial / proof

“Been using MetreMate for a few months now, and I'm wondering how I ever managed without it. The accuracy is spot-on, and helps me and my tradies. I'm able to quote quicker and more accurately.”

“MetreMate's a real game-changer for me. Knocked off hours of fiddling around with plans and got straight into the real work. It's like having an extra pair of hands on site. Any tradie not on this is missing out, big time!”
