Description

Purple Hammer serves as a desktop solution for takeoff and estimating, tailored specifically for construction estimators and quantity surveyor teams, embodying the potential that Bluebeam aimed to achieve. Its standout features encompass a 120 FPS PDF viewer, comprehensive markups and measurements (such as length, area, count, perimeter, volume, and wall volume), and advanced drawing comparison capabilities that include auto alignment, blinking, and support for multiple candidates. Furthermore, it provides built-in estimating worksheets, allows the use of takeoff formulas with power syntax, and includes cost and contract lookup tables. The software also offers an open MCP for AI access, a one-click "Magic Measure" function, and the ability to snap to geometry, grid, and raster edges. Additionally, it comes equipped with live document and version control, and supports exporting marked-up PDFs, Excel files, and comparison GIFs. Compatible with both Mac and Windows, Purple Hammer is an all-in-one tool designed to streamline the estimating process for construction professionals. Its user-friendly interface and robust functionality make it an essential asset for enhancing efficiency and accuracy in construction projects.

Description

This application enables users to effortlessly arrange their windows on a flexible grid solely using their mouse. It enhances the utility of the right mouse button during window movement by activating grid snap mode. The program is user-friendly, portable, and easy to install, functioning harmoniously with Aerosnap while remaining unobtrusive. Users can customize the grid overlay, which supports auto-updating and adjustable input options. Compatibility extends to Windows Vista (SP2), 7 (SP1), 8, 8.1, and 10, with features that allow for saved window positions and theme personalization. However, users may experience occasional delays with the grid overlay, and the WindowGrid32.dll file might need to be placed on certain antivirus software's exclusion lists. Additionally, there can be issues when moving non-DPI-aware windows between monitors that utilize DPI scaling. WindowGrid serves as a contemporary solution for window management on Windows systems, offering a simple method to choose the initial grid position for window placement by simply moving the cursor. This functionality significantly streamlines workspace organization and enhances user productivity.
