Overview
One of the biggest advantages of RENDR Flex is that it isn’t tied to a single device.
Whether you’re standing in a customer’s kitchen, reviewing plans in the office, or making final adjustments before sending plans to a designer, Flex allows you to work from the device that’s best suited for the task.
Every version of Flex shares the same editing philosophy and the same project data. While each platform is optimized for its own strengths, your workflow remains consistent no matter where you’re working.

RENDR Principle
Choose your device based on what you’re trying to accomplish—not where your project lives.
Your projects stay with you. Start in the field, continue in the office, and finish wherever it makes the most sense.
The Flex Workflow
For most remodelers, a project naturally moves through several stages.

Flex was designed so each platform supports those stages differently while still working together.
Working on iPhone
The iPhone is designed for mobility.
It goes wherever you do.
Most users will spend their time on iPhone while meeting with homeowners, walking existing conditions, documenting spaces, and making quick edits before leaving the jobsite.
Typical iPhone workflows include:
Capturing a scan
Reviewing a completed scan
Making quick geometry adjustments
Adding photos
Creating notes
Verifying measurements
Sharing a completed plan
Because you’re working on a touch device, the interface is optimized for one-handed navigation, quick selections, and focused editing panels.
Best For
Site visits
Consultations
Existing condition documentation
Small plan corrections
Quick reviews before leaving a job
Working on iPad
The iPad combines portability with additional workspace.
Many contractors find it becomes their primary editing device because it provides more screen space while remaining easy to carry through a home.
The larger display makes complex plans easier to navigate and provides room for additional editing panels without feeling crowded.
Typical iPad workflows include:
Editing entire floor plans
Creating flooring takeoffs
Reviewing elevations
Client presentations
Detailed room cleanup
Material planning
If you’re spending more than a few minutes refining a plan, the iPad often provides the best balance between mobility and productivity.
Best For
Full floor plan editing
Flooring takeoffs
Kitchen and bath planning
Reviewing elevations
Customer meetings
Working on the Web
The Web editor is designed for precision.
A larger monitor, mouse, and keyboard make it ideal for users who spend significant time refining plans or preparing documentation before exporting.
Many advanced users prefer completing final edits on the web before sending plans to downstream software because larger displays make it easier to review an entire floor plan at once. Some precision editing features also take advantage of keyboard and mouse input.
Typical web workflows include:
Final plan cleanup
Detailed wall editing
Large projects
Export preparation
Office review
Collaboration
Best For
Large floor plans
Precise editing
Export preparation
Office workflows
Reviewing completed projects
The Best Workflow Isn’t One Device
Many users assume they should complete an entire project on a single device.
In reality, Flex works best when you use each device for what it does best.
A common workflow might look like this:
In the Home
Capture the scan on your iPhone or iPad
Review the completed floor plan.
Make any obvious corrections before leaving.
Back at the Office
Open the same project on your iPad or Web.
Refine walls and room geometry.
Create flooring areas.
Add annotations.
Export the completed plan.
Because your project stays synchronized, you’re never starting over.
Will My Changes Stay Synced?
Yes.
Every edit you make becomes part of the same project.
That means you can:
Start editing on your iPhone.
Continue on your iPad.
Finish on the Web.
There is no need to recreate your work when moving between platforms.
💡 Pro Tip
If you’ll be working without a reliable internet connection, complete as much work as possible before heading to the jobsite. Flex is designed to support offline workflows, and your changes will synchronize when connectivity is restored.
Will Everything Work the Same?
The editing experience is intentionally consistent across every platform.
The same concepts—walls, rooms, flooring areas, objects, measurements, and annotations—work the same way regardless of which device you’re using.
However, each platform is optimized for its own input method.
Platform Notes
On Web
Optimized for mouse and keyboard.
Supports additional keyboard-assisted editing behaviors where applicable, such as temporarily disabling snapping during certain editing operations.
On iPad
Optimized for touch with additional workspace.
Some editing panels remain visible alongside the floor plan, reducing the need to switch between views.
On iPhone
Optimized for smaller screens.
Editing panels appear as focused sheets, keeping the drawing area as large as possible while still providing access to editing tools.
