Sweinstein herds all your trades. It's basically a sheepdog, but a pig.

Measure on top of the count

Measure any trade's runs across the set, on top of the counts. Lengths are worked out exactly from each sheet's confirmed scale. The AI traces; the math is done in code.

Ask about your local code

Ask code questions for any trade on the job. Answers quote the code books your company uploads and follow the project's province or state. They are a reference, not legal advice.
