A New AI-Powered Feature Reads Scale Instantly, Automatically Detecting and Calibrating Drawings to Eliminate Setup Entirely.
Morpholio from Vectorworks announced the release of AI Scale, a powerful new feature built into Morpholio Trace that automatically reads and calibrates the scale of drawings, saving designers time and streamlining the creative workflow.
For architects and designers, scale is everything. Whether working through the intricacies of a construction detail or laying out a master plan, precision at the correct scale defines every decision. Yet setting up that scale has traditionally been a manual, time-consuming step that interrupts the flow of ideas.

AI Scale solves that.
In the design fields, architecture, interior design, landscape, and more, the value of starting with scale cannot be underestimated. From the first idea, understanding the context in which you are working is essential. Having the free flow of thought that comes with a pencil, while sketching on top of and adjacent to scaled drawings, is the dream state that allows new ideas to be born, shaped, and developed into timeless proportion. Scale defines relationships, establishes hierarchy, influences perception, and ultimately evokes beauty, awe, or intimacy.
Developed as part of Morpholio’s ongoing commitment to integrating cutting-edge technology into the creative process in ways that are most important to designers, AI Scale intelligently detects the scale of imported drawings and instantly adjusts tools accordingly. AI Scale then automatically sets and unlocks smart area, dimension, and measuring tools in the drawing space. The result is a seamless experience that allows designers to move through concepts and drawings while staying immersed in their work.
“Over the last 15 years, Morpholio has thoughtfully integrated the latest technologies into digital drawing, always in service of the creative process,” said Mark Collins, Morpholio co-founder. “Tools like RoomPlan and Perspective Finder have shown how powerful intelligence can enhance sketching. With AI Scale, we’re taking that a step further by removing one of the most persistent points of friction in the workflow.”
AI Scale is built on Apple’s VisionKit, which means that, despite the magic, projects never leave the device, and predictions are generated by the device’s own neural processors. This tool is not driven by data centers but instead takes advantage of local AI with a narrow scope and a daily benefit.
Furthermore, unlike some AI tools that attempt to replace creative decision-making, AI Scale is designed to augment the design process. It works quietly in the background, supporting accuracy and efficiency while leaving full control in the hands of the user. Whether sketching over plans, refining layouts, or developing detailed drawings, the feature takes something at the heart of good design and makes it easier to access throughout the process.
“We believe AI for designers should enhance creativity, not replace it,” added Toru Hasegawa, Morpholio Co-founder. “We’re helping designers execute their work with less setup and distraction. The architect’s true value comes from a lifetime of experience and insight, not from within the software. This is about enabling designers to focus on what they do best, thinking creatively.”
“With Morpholio now part of Vectorworks, AI Scale is a glimpse of the intelligent assistance we believe should be built into every stage of design,” says Jason Pletcher, Vectorworks CEO. “Features like this quietly handle the technical setup in the background so our customers and designers can stay in their creative flow.”
At its core, Morpholio, created by architects for architects and designers, remains committed to keeping sketching accessible and powerful within the design workflow. With AI Scale, that mission continues, bringing intelligent, practical tools to designers who value both precision and creativity.
