Takeoff: calibrate, measure, name sheets

Calibrate scale, measure length/area/count, then Auto Name sheets from the title block. Count can Find similar marks — you confirm. Assist suggests a tool; length and area you still draw. Quantities push to the estimate when you are ready.

1. Open takeoff on a job

From a job, open Takeoff (or /takeoff with the job selected). Add PDF or image sheets. Scale lock stays until you recalibrate.

Open Takeoff →

2. Calibrate, then measure

Set scale from a known dimension. Draw length, area, or count. On Count, click one symbol, then Find similar — confirm writes ordinary counts. Height and waste live on the item — bulk-apply from the ribbon when several items share the same factor.

3. Auto Name the set

Pages → Rename all. Draw Sheet No and Sheet Title regions. Text layer runs first; OCR fills empty regions. Review the before→after matrix, then apply. Nothing overwrites until you confirm.
