What's New in Layer: Drawing View and More!

See what's new in the latest release of Layer!


Introducing Drawing View!

Say hello to smarter site visits with PDF Markups connected to Revit

Until now, drawing markups have been captured in dead-end PDF files. Not anymore!

With Layer App’s intuitive new Drawing View, you can now give PDF markups life beyond the static file. Place intelligent annotations on static PDFs that are linked directly to Revit elements and view the referenced markup right in Revit.

Mobile-first in design, Drawing View offers augmented productivity for site visits of all kinds, from conditions assessments and facility audits to CA workflows such as field reports and punch lists.

As a project management tool, Layer’s intelligent annotations in Drawing View make it possible for multidisciplinary teams to push markups to teams working in Revit.
