When it cannot read a sheet

If Takeoff Tool cannot read a set of sheets well enough, it says so. That is not a claim that an item is missing. Look at those sheets yourself.

Why a sheet can be hard to read

  • It is a low-quality scan.
  • The text is very small or overlaps other linework.
  • The sheet is rotated or cut off.

What you see

A flag names the sheets it could not read. It does not grade those counts as Certain.

What to do

  1. Open the sheets it names.
  2. Count the item yourself.
  3. Select Fix the number and type your count.
  4. If you have a better copy of the sheet, add it to the packet and run the takeoff again.
