QUICK BUILD
Describe the family — get the chart
Quick Build is the fastest way to start a pedigree. Instead of dragging boxes, you answer plain questions about the family, and the maker adds the people, unions, and shading for you — with the correct symbols applied automatically.
What it understands
- • Parents, partners, and ex-partners
- • Children, including twins and adoptions
- • Affected, carrier, and presymptomatic people
- • Proband and consultand
- • Deceased relatives
- • Consanguineous unions (e.g. first cousins)
After the conversation, the chart is fully editable — add anyone with the toolbar, adjust symbols in the inspector, auto-arrange, and export exactly as usual.
# Sample conversations
> “A man and a woman have a son and a daughter.”
✔ Union created; two children placed under it.
> “The son is affected with cystic fibrosis.”
✔ Son shaded; trait “cystic fibrosis” created; son set as proband.
> “The mother’s brother is also affected.”
✔ Brother added beside the mother; shaded; parents linked.
> “The parents are first cousins.”
✔ Union marked consanguineous with a double line.
