In this packed walkthrough, James shows how a two-person studio used Morpholio Trace and SketchUp for iPad to site, plan, model, and render a courtyard farmhouse in upstate New York—without ever touching a desktop. From diagramming a Bjarke Ingels layout to modeling 7:12 roof pitches and importing the whole thing back to Trace for layered renderings, this video reveals the complete iPad concept design pipeline—ending in a client-ready sketch that helped win approval and move the project forward toward construction.
