  1. Select a takeoff tool from the toolbar

    At the bottom of your screen, choose the tool that matches what you’re measuring:

    • Measure – for checking distances or scale

    • Area – for surfaces like floors, slabs, or walls

    • Linear – for lengths like footings, curbs, or edges

    • Count – for counting fixtures or items

  2. Begin drawing on the plan
    Click directly on the drawing to start measuring. Quantities are calculated automatically as you draw.
