Measuring

Turn a PDF drawing into structured quantities the rest of the app can price. The whole loop is short: open a sheet, measure into a named item, bind that item to an assembly and spec, and you’re already on the path to a priced estimate line.

Naming Items Well

Item names drive the AI assembly suggestions you’ll see later in Cost build-up. Spend the extra two seconds at takeoff time.

Applying Assemblies After Takeoff

Takeoff measures how much. Assemblies turn those measurements into priced lines. The pricing step happens in Cost build-up, not directly on the takeoff item — but the link between the two is live, so every shape you draw flows straight through to the rate.

The biggest payoff of doing takeoff inside Blueprint Crusher — rather than in a separate measuring tool plus a spreadsheet — is that your estimate stays in sync with your measurements and your rate library.
