Product Description - Demonstrations

To see the functionality of the eTakeoff Plan Viewer, click on one of the headings below. Each one is linked to a "viewlet", a video-like presentation that shows the viewer in operation. Each viewlet is just a few minutes long.

Introduction
This short demonstration provides a basic introduction to viewing and measuring construction plans on-line.

Scrolling and Zooming
Advanced scrolling and zooming features allow you to view and manipulate scanned drawings with ease.

Basic Measuring
Basic measuring tools are provided for counts, lengths, perimeters and areas.

Traces
An enormous palette of colors, symbols and text allow you to visually identify different measurement types.

Advanced Measuring
Advanced measuring techniques handle cutouts, disconnected takeoff runs and other special situations.

Scales
Set known scales for drawings or calibrate the scale from measurements provided on the drawing. Define multiple detail scales within a single drawing.

Annotations and Links
Annotations provide the ability to document and reference drawing information. Links make it possible to quickly jump from the current drawing to zoomed locations on the same or different drawings.

Quantity Worksheet
eTakeoff's powerful and innovative Quantity Worksheet allows you to combine and organize measurements. During takeoff it facilitates the transfer of information to other applications. After takeoff it makes analysis and review more efficient.

Organizing Measurements
Create an organizational structure for your takeoff measurements so that you can easily find, analyze and transfer information.

Assign Measurements
Assign measurements to the Quantity Worksheet automatically (as you take them off) or at your discretion, using the "drag and drop" method.

Measurement Formulas
Calculate desired quantities using formulas that combine measurements such as length, width and height.

Transfer to Excel
Easily transfer measurements and quantities into Excel or other applications by simply "dragging and dropping".

Drill-Down
When you need to revisit an old project, the Quantity Worksheet's powerful drill-down capabilities get you to the right information effortlessly.

Printing
When you do need a paper copy, eTakeoff's printing capabilities allow you to print all or part of drawings at their original scale or any other scale.
