Plans come from all kinds of places. MyMarkups keeps them local and organised.
Bringing plans in
- 1 Open the project and tap Plans.
- 2 Choose Import PDF - pick from Files, AirDrop, or attachments.
- 3 Rename the plan (short, scannable - e.g. 'L3 - Comms room').
- 4 Add tags like discipline (electrical, data, fire) to speed up filtering later.
Multi-sheet sets
For 50+ page sets, import as a single multi-page PDF and use the thumbnail rail. For sets that change often, split by discipline and tag each.
Tips
- Rotate landscape sheets once so they open the right way up on iPad.
- Set the page scale once per plan - the app remembers it across sessions.
