GIVE DRAWING TO SCALE A TRY! Download a free 1/4" Grid, Ruler and FF&E template here: https://www.ipadforarchitects.com/draw_to_scale
Use these coordinated grid templates and scale rulers to design to scale in Procreate as accurately as you can in Morpholio Trace. Procreate and Morpholio are both "pixel-based", so neither can export .dxf or .dwg vector files, but the same accuracy one expects from Morpholio can be achieved in Procreate by importing these scale rulers.

The step-by-step process unfolds as follows (time stamps):
0:00 Intro to Procreate as an amazing architectural design and rendering tool
0:18 The Procreate app does not currently support architectural drafting or designing using scale rulers. Either a design sketch must be made from the beginning over an accurate grid template, or a freehand design must be retro-actively scaled over an accurate grid. Furthermore, it can be onerous to calculate the size of prints made in order to preserve the scale used in the document
0:32 A catalog of importable, Procreate-for-Architects 11" x 17" x 300dpi metric and imperial grids for use in accurately scaling Procreate drawings
0:42 A catalog of importable, Procreate-for-Architects architects', engineers' and metric scale rulers for use in accurately scaling Procreate drawings
1:02 The importable scale grid templates are designed to work with either Metric or Imperial systems, and maintain accurate scale when printed out at 11" x 17" or A3 paper dimensions, allowing other design team members to scale the drawings and make progress in design development when the designer is not available in person
2:00 The importable scale rulers come in architects' scales, engineers' scales and metric scale denominations. They are designed to match the grid templates exactly, and maintain accuracy unless accidentally "transformed" during the drawing exercise
2:41 A real-world example of retroactively applying 1/8" = 1' scale to a freehand sketch of a 1200 square foot contemporary affordable house design
3:00 Copying and importing the canvas into a grid template document
4:55 Stretching the imported floor plan to match the 1/8" = 1' scale grid
5:35 Reading dimensions off the grid in preparation of exporting floor plan to Sketchup or Rhino
6:07 Importing an architects' scale to match the grid and aid in design
6:39 Mention of the grid template packs and scale ruler packs available online
6:51 Mention of a Procreate-for-Architects Curated Design and Rendering Brush Set in .brushset file format available online
