Every markup is a measure.
Every geometric markup is a measure — area and perimeter from a shape, volume and wall quantities once it has a height — each a live worksheet row with its own style and metadata.
Vector when possible. Raster when necessary.
Clean PDFs have real linework to snap to; the messy ones don't — so a second snap goes straight to the pixels. Snap to any edge you can see.
Manual sets → live document control.
Point Purple Hammer at the folders you already use — no managed set, no import, no slip-sheets. New PDFs are tracked by content through every rename, move, and revision, each version keeping its own takeoff.
Revision review without the eye test.
Drop two revisions into A/B and auto-align lands them in seconds — then the change shows itself, because your eye catches motion that squinting misses.
The takeoff table lives in the drawing app.
Every measured markup is a live worksheet row, so the estimate builds as you draw — and what leaves keeps computing: real XLSX formulas, not a dead dump.
Open the drawing. Do the work.
The basics aren't a checklist bolted onto the side. They're the surface you work on all day — markup, takeoff, comparison, document control, spreadsheets.
