Plan-Linked AI Rows
AI count detections arrive with visible source geometry and a pending review state instead of silently becoming final quantities.

Run an AI first pass and review plan-linked count detections without losing their source. Pending groups rise to the top, each mark can be accepted or dismissed, and document totals collect reviewed context across the full plan set.
Capabilities
AI count detections arrive with visible source geometry and a pending review state instead of silently becoming final quantities.
Rows are grouped by label, with pending groups first and one-click accept-all or dismiss-all controls for each group.
Open document totals to fetch unvisited pages and roll counts up by label without presenting a partial total as complete.
Color-coded overlays show where each item was detected so an estimator can verify the count against the plan.
CSV preserves source and acceptance status; quote export includes accepted AI rows and manual work, never pending or dismissed detections.
Use the count tool to add a missing mark, rename selected work, assign a CSI category, or correct a group before export.
In the product
Draw, finish, cancel, select, and erase measurements predictably.
Select (V): click an item, Shift-click to add more, or drag empty space for a marquee; any selection opens the Inspector at the top of the right dock.
Pan (H): drag to move around the sheet without selecting or drawing; zoom stays available from the wheel and the command bar.
Count (C): click each object to place one marker worth one each; the tool stays active for the next click, and a fresh count offers a suggested name to accept or edit.
Linear (L): click a start point and an end point to measure one run; hold Shift to keep the segment orthogonal.
Polyline (P): click each vertex along a path, then finish with Enter or double-click once at least two points are placed; Shift keeps segments orthogonal.
Area (A): click vertices around a region, then finish with Enter or double-click once at least three points are placed.
Rectangle (R): click two corners, or press-drag-release, to commit a rectangular area.
Eraser (E): click a measurement to remove it; the tool stays active for repeated cleanup.
Calibrate (K): click both ends of a known dimension to open the calibration dialog, or use Set scale by ratio for drawing-scale notation.
Comment (M): click the plan to drop a pin and compose a thread; posting returns you to Select.
Extract legend (N): drag a region around the printed legend and confirm extraction into the Legend tab.
Process
Drop or browse for a supported PDF or image, then let the background upload establish the stored document context.
Run the AI takeoff job and follow its live stage while detections stream into their source pages.
Select marks on the plan, accept or dismiss pending detections, and add a manual count when correction is needed.
Collect every page for CSV or create quote lines from accepted detections and manual counts.
