Improvements

  • Takeoff Boost™ now more accurately draws:
    • Short walls segments (think the sidewalls of closets)
    • Connecting Walls

Why is this a big deal?

Before this update, Takeoff Boost™ often missed short walls that connected two longer wall segments. Now, you won't have to go back and takeoff all these short segments yourself - saving you time and frustration.

This release improves "short" and "connecting" wall detection, but you, as the estimator, still need to double-check the takeoff results.

Please note the before and after results below.
