Getting Started
Quick Start
Open a plan, set its scale, create or review measurements, and carry the verified quantities into an editable quote.
See it in BuildVision AI
Takeoff editor
A plan canvas, item dock, top status controls, and bottom CAD command bar in one review surface.
- PDF and image plans
- Plan-linked detections
- Multi-page navigation
What you'll accomplish
Complete one reviewed page and see how its quantities roll up across the document.
Steps
- Open a plan from Last takeoffs or a project folder.
- Run AI takeoff after the save chip is ready, or choose Count, Linear, Polyline, Area, or Rectangle below the canvas.
- Select detections to Accept or Dismiss; select manual work to rename, categorize, recolor, move, or edit vertices.
- Calibrate before relying on length or area quantities.
- Check Document totals and export CSV or a quote only when every required page is available.
What to expect
- Count quantities are each; linear and area quantities require page scale.
- Dismissed detections are excluded until Show dismissed is enabled.
- Undo and redo cover editor changes, while the save chip reports cloud saving separately.
