Spike Product Description-
Spike is a laser measurement solution that allows you to measure elevations, widths, and areas of commercial and residential projects, simply by taking a photo with your smartphone and Spike device. Save significant time on your site walks by using Spike’s photo measurements to complete your bids and estimates. Utilize Spike’s Photo Measurements as part of your day-to-day design work with AutoCAD, Revit and ARCHICAD.
Simply take photos of a project site using the Spike app, Spike laser device and your smartphone or tablet. Once photos have been captured, export a Spike Scaled Image from the Spike Cloud. This Image is 1:1 scaled and perspective corrected, and is ready for import into your CAD softwre where you can immediately measure and design using the native tools. What used to sometimes take days to measure a project to be ready for CAD import can now happen within minutes, all from a smartphone.
