SprinkFlow School
Short videos and written step-by-step guides for everything SprinkFlow makes — from your first submittal to a full head layout in the Design Studio. Each lesson is a few minutes, and the written version covers the same steps if you'd rather read.
Every lesson has full written instructions today; videos are being recorded and added. Lessons marked Design Studio alpha cover our CAD program, which is early-access software included with a SprinkFlow Tools subscription.
SprinkFlow Tools, the Windows desktop app: submittals, calc packages, and the PDF & CAD toolbox.
