Presentation boards

Site analysis boards in one click

After the analysis, mark the plot and pick what you are designing. MapToNap draws five linked drawings from the site, from site reading to concept, and lays them out with your analysis diagrams as an A1 board, a slide deck whose text explains each drawing, or simple A3 sheets. Every drawing stays editable on the page before you download.

A1 architecture board generated in MapToNap from a site analysis and the Site to Design drawings

What you can make

The drawings, and what each one shows

A1 architecture board (Max)

Every drawing of the set with the reasons behind it, portrait or landscape, light or dark. Panels can be moved, deleted and reset before you download the PNG.

PowerPoint deck (Max)

A .pptx written in your browser, with editable text on each slide saying what the drawing shows and why, ready for a crit or a client meeting.

Simple A3 sheets (Max)

Two drawings per page, downloaded as PNG pages, for a quick print or a portfolio draft.

Five linked drawings first

Site reading, programme, strategy spine, circulation and concept are drawn in a chain: each one reuses the one before it and the data the analyses used.

Analysis boards in Site Analysis (Max)

Site Inset Board (focus map with four circular analyses), Visual Analysis with real street photos, Zoning Plan, Central & Accessible and Axonometric Callouts.

Portfolio layout (Max)

A3, A2 or A1 sheets in landscape or portrait, with themes, batch fill and PDF, PNG or SVG export.

Guide

How to lay out a site analysis board

Lead with the argument. A board is read in seconds. Put the drawing that explains your main decision largest and first, and let the supporting analyses follow in a grid.
One message per drawing. Each panel should answer one question: how people arrive, where the sun is, what the site is next to. A one-line caption under each panel says the answer.
Keep one graphic language. The same palette, line weights and type on every drawing make twenty panels read as one project. MapToNap applies one look to the whole set.
Go from site to design. Order the board as a story: context, site reading, programme, strategy, circulation, concept. The jury should see why the design is where it is.
Check the print size. An A1 board is viewed from a metre or two away: titles must read from there, and fine labels belong in the drawings people walk up to.

Frequently asked questions

Before you start

Can MapToNap make a presentation board automatically?

Yes, with Max. After a site analysis, Site to Design draws five linked drawings of your plot and lays them out with your analysis diagrams as an A1 board, a PowerPoint deck or A3 sheets. You can move or delete panels and edit drawings before downloading.

Is the PowerPoint editable?

Yes. The .pptx is generated in your browser with editable text boxes on each slide describing what the drawing shows and why, so you can rewrite it in PowerPoint, Keynote or Google Slides.

Are the drawings on the board real?

Yes. They come from OpenStreetMap, NASA POWER climate and open elevation data for your site, and from rules you can see, not from an image generator. Programme areas are starting points, not planning figures.

Is it free?

You can try MapToNap free: four 2D drawings (roads, land use, green and water, urban fabric) and one 3D drawing, with a watermark and no sign-up. Without the watermark and with all 68 analyses there are one-time passes: Pro €7.99 or Max €12.99 for 30 days, or a year of Max for €49. Nothing renews automatically.

Do I need to install anything? Does it work on a phone?

No installation and no setup. MapToNap runs in the browser on any computer, tablet or phone, iPhone or Android: open maptonap.com/app, type an address and press Generate. 3D drawings and simulations run smoothest on a computer.
