Ionadol Aura implements a complete measurement and comparison engine for classical architectural surveying. The application calculates module-based proportions in real time as you position your device camera at standing columns. Lower-shaft diameter becomes the module baseline from which all canonical member heights derive.
The Canon Overlay system materializes reference proportions from Vignola and Palladio treatises as draggable hairlines superimposed on your live camera feed. Adjust each hairline against the physical stone—shaft, capital, architrave, frieze, cornice—until alignment is achieved. The engine computes signed divergence in parts for every architectural member, displaying deviation via two-axis bar chart.
Thirty-four reference plates organize five classical orders, six ornament types, six building stones, eight field instruments, and nine moulding profiles. Each plate includes geometric set-out rules, common faults documentation, and on-site inspection guidance derived from classical treatise tradition. The Profiles Bench loads three moulding sections simultaneously for direct overlay comparison against survey photographs.
Overlay canonical proportions from Vignola and Palladio as draggable hairlines directly onto camera view. Align each member against real stone and receive signed divergence calculations in parts.
Set the module from a single lower-shaft diameter measurement. Application automatically derives all member heights according to selected classical order and displays proportional ladder.
Overlay theoretical entasis curve onto column shaft photograph. Visualize convex curvature deviation from strict taper and assess divergence from canonical profile.
Superimpose Ionic volute spiral construction over capital photograph. Verify scroll execution against geometric arc-based construction method from classical treatises.
Load up to three moulding profiles side-by-side. Compare cyma recta, ovolo, astragal and six additional profiles with geometric arc constructions. Overlay any profile onto survey photograph.
All thirty-four reference plates, five orders, nine moulding profiles, six ornament types and eight instruments operate without network connection. Field-ready for remote survey locations.
