Measure straight off the drawing. Land in the bill.

Calibrated lines, areas, and counts — grouped, layered, and linked back to the bill. Full undo/redo, deep-zoom tiles for very large drawings, and per-page scales detected from the PDF mediabox.

How takeoff works

Calibrated. Grouped. Linked to the bill.

Open any drawing in your project, calibrate the scale once, and start measuring — every line, area, or count is grouped, layered, and ready to flow into the bill.

1
Auto-scale

PDF mediabox detection sets the scale automatically; manual calibration is one click for scanned sheets.

2
Measure

Line, polyline, rectangle, area, count. Hold for orthogonal, Space to pan, Snap for endpoints.

3
Group & layer

Nested groups (Type A → 3660mm high → measurements). Per-group totals roll up automatically.

4
Link to bill

Drag a group onto a bill row — qty + UOM populate, the rate decomposes, and the row goes green. The same quantity drives the downstream cost and A1-A3 kgCO₂e roll-up.

DZI tiles

very large PDF? Deep-zoom in milliseconds.

Tile worker pre-generates DZI deep-zoom pyramids per page. Pan, zoom, and snap to the smallest gridline without the viewer stalling.

  • Per-page scales auto-detected from the PDF mediabox.
  • Title block parsing picks up drawing number, revision & scale.
  • Page-level metadata indexed for search across the drawing register.

Layers & annotations

Custom layers. Per-stroke styling. Real undo.

Each layer holds its own stroke colour, fill opacity, and visibility. Stack as many as you need. Full undo/redo on every measurement — no half-states, no broken groups.

  • Custom columns per measurement — span direction, fire rating, finish, anything.
  • Nested groups with depth — Type A → 3660mm high → 8 individual runs.
  • Per-group dimensions — linear, area, volume calculated from height × depth knobs.

Why teams switch

Built for measuring 100-sheet packages

Real undo / redo

Every measurement is an event. Step back through dozens of clicks — no broken groups, no lost work.

One-click bill link

Drag a group onto a bill row to push qty + UOM. The row resolves, the rate decomposes, the total updates.

Markup & comments

Annotate sheets for the PM. Comments scope to a measurement, group, or sheet — and stay with the drawing.

Take off straight from the drawing.

Calibrate once, measure for hours, land in the bill in seconds.
