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
Understand the editor layout, save state, and review controls before changing a plan.
Steps
- Use the top bar for plan identity, save, CSV/quote export, AI job, All pages, and page navigation.
- Use the canvas for selection, drawing, legend regions, plan-pinned comments, context actions, and review.
- Use Items, Legend, Comments, and Inspector for names, categories, colors, review state, quantities, visibility, and discussion.
- Use the command bar for tools, calibration, undo/redo, scale, zoom, fit, and shortcut help; use the global bell for durable jobs and notifications.
What to expect
- The open document, page, takeoff, and project stay reflected in the page address as you work.
- Viewport movement never modifies plan geometry.
- Rejected writes remain visible as save/error states while local work stays on screen.
- Guests can inspect shared takeoffs and add comments, but cannot measure, edit geometry, or run AI.
