SEE IT IN ACTION
Import a parcel, set it as the project site, mark the front and rear edges, and the envelope appears inside the setbacks.
More how-tos: Sketching · Canvas navigation · Surrounding context · PDF import · Image scaling
THE PLATFORM
Type a Boston address. Stratum draws the real property's lot lines on the canvas, with zoning data and setbacks from the city record.
Draw directly on the lot — building footprints, massing studies, notes. Measurements use the real-world scale of the parcel underneath.
Drop a PDF of a sheet, survey, or report into the project. Pages render on the canvas and in the viewer tab.
Scale any imported image to real-world dimensions by drawing one calibration line. Every measurement on top of it reads in feet.
Arrange parcels, sketches, PDFs, and images on an unlimited spatial board. Pan, zoom, and organize by phase or discipline.
THE DRAFTING FLOW
Import a real parcel from a Boston address with zoning data attached.
Sketch massing and layouts directly on the lot, in real-world feet.
Drop PDF sheets and site photos onto the canvas alongside the parcel.
Scale any imported image by drawing one calibration line.
