Files it reads
- The specification. A single section or the full Project Manual. It finds your section inside the manual.
- Plan sheets, as PDFs.
- Addenda.
- A zip file from the plan room, or a whole folder.
- An On-Screen Takeoff file (.ost). It reads the quantities you drew.
- A finished takeoff workbook, if you want to compare.
Files it does not need
It takes the Project Manual, not the Revit model. Leave model files out of the packet.
Size
During the trial, each file can be up to 40 MB.
No spec in the packet
Some bid sets have no spec for your section. Takeoff Tool then reads scope from the drawings only. Every line is marked for you to verify, and the job is held until you approve it.
