1️⃣Extract Schedule 📋

When you highlight a table or list of items on a drawing, our AI engine automatically converts this information into a structured schedule in your Takeoff Totals. This eliminates the need to manually type item descriptions, significantly speeding up your takeoff process.


2️⃣Smart Measurements 📏

The Smart Measurement feature allows you to quickly perform take-offs by:


  1. Highlighting a description on the drawing
  2. Choosing your measurement type (Area, Linear, or Count)
  3. Proceeding directly with your measurement


This streamlined workflow combines description selection and measurement into one smooth process, making your take-offs more efficient and accurate.


Key Benefits:


  • Reduces manual data entry
  • Minimizes the risk of typing errors
  • Saves valuable time during the estimation process
  • Maintains consistency in item descriptions

Not sure if this is a bug or just the drawings I'm working on, but I've noticed when I use the Extract Schedule feature, it always seems to assume the items I select off a schedule are area objects, when they're almost always supposed to be either linear or count objects.

Hi Jes. We'll be adding a popup that will allow you to see what it extracted and adjust before saving, so hopefully that will help it to be more useful.
