Hey, I’m Henry Gao👋. I help architects and interior designers draw better, design faster, and be more creative using the iPad. This is a process that I have developed and refined since 2016, one that will free you from a traditional office environment, and increase your efficiency, while leveling up your hand drawing abilities.

Yep, I returned the 11” model after a week and splashed out for the bigger one.

Thanks - this addresses a lot of the things I've been thinking about.

Thank you Henry, I am about to upgrade my 5th gen I pad and really wanted to get the best for my needs. I do plenty of drawings and use it as another monitor. I also want it to go in the field with me for markups and meetings. Lastly and most important I want to be able to use Matterport for room scanning so the Lidar camera is a must. I was waiting for the I pad pro for that last reason most of all.

NICE VIDEO ITS A GOOD IDEA TO TAKE SMALL AMOUNT OF STORAGE AND BUY EXTERNAL OR CLOUD STORAGE BUT APPLE GIVES LESS RAM WHEN U CHOOSE LESS STORAGE

As a 2011 architecture grad I am so jealous. Do the schools still have computer labs with the applicable software students need? If so, I would be using the school's PCs for autodesk programs and I wouldn't bother with a personal laptop. I'd get a 13" ipad pro with a cheap 3rd party bluetooth keyboard and stylus. The pencil pro would be on my birthday or christmas list. You can do all of your gen ed on an iPad now. You can do some architectural studio work as well with the Affinty or Adobe suite.

Does anyone here use iPad tablets, but run Windows laptops and desktops for main computing needs? What are the problems/glitches/pitfalls?

[xer]

iPad air 13inch now the best overall choice?

[phknutson]

How much RAM do you recommend for iPad Pro to use Procreate and Sketchup?

[ananyavinamra]

Hi Henry, I have air 4 with me and I am looking for a change as my air 4 is getting old. I am a fashion designer and artist. Can you please suggest me which iPad to go for ? Will mean a lot.

[SSakshichavan]

hey, what would you suggest between ipad air 128gb 13’’ & galaxy s9 fe plus? i’m a architecture student have a good laptop too my main motive is for sketchup and notes taking. im pretty confused since samsung have almost same or even better features but i doubt if it’ll take the load of softwares while rendering and stuff. also, its easy to download apps and everything on android but i so wanted to have the experience of procreate as well. and i’m iphone 13 user so im dicey if i will like the android again! pls pls pls reply asap thank you

[elimams]

Hi Henry. Just a question which into my mind. Is it better to buy an Ipad as an architect or a normal tablet? Knowing that sometimes you have to import your sketches to your laptop or desktop

[ebrewn]

[jg_]

5:52 same chip as iPad PRO*, he meant to say. For anyone who was confused.

[pratiknighot]

Hey Henry, I'm an interior designer. And would like to know if SketchUp performs good on the iPad. And can we render out images on ipad like we do in PC using SketchUp & vray5 ?

[shrushtilohar]

Hey i will pursue product designing so i was thinking of purchasing ipad pro m2 chip and a gaming laptop for smooth software working
I am confused i need suggestions

[roxanaattar]

[deemaalhaj]

For me I would buy Ipad for initial design process and sketching, Im really sick of manual sketching and tracing papers and printing
