Place the paper plans for digitization on the tablet. In the case of working with scanner version scan the plans. In the case of on-screen version, load the image. On-screen programs should work with all file types, including AutoCAD DWG, PDF, and TIFF
Initiate the Take-Offs program
Enter the scale units, English or metric
Enter the scale or compute the scale from the plans by digitizing a recognized distance.
Select the digitize area, length, perimeter, counts, multiple line segments or sum of line segments
Digitize the item using the digitizing tablet
Digitizing can be point to point, or continuous curves.
Digitized items are put on view on screen while digitizing
The software estimates the item from the digitized data. Do again for other items.
Print a report with an image diagram of the digitized data and a table of results.
If contractors get AutoCAD DWG files, certain programs may enable them to perform a direct CAD import without the need to digitize.
One can export the take-off result by pressing the excel button to the excel spreadsheet. The report can also be published to DWF file format.
