What You’ll Need Before You Start
- A Windows 11 computer (64-bit)
- Your license confirmed in the Customer Portal (check this before downloading)
- Administrator access on your computer (you’ll need this to install)
- An internet connection
Step 1 — Install PlanSwift
If PlanSwift 11 is already installed on your machine, skip to Step 2.
- Go to the Customer Portal and confirm your license.
- Download the PlanSwift installer here: PlanSwift Installer Downloads (only v.11.0.0.129 is supported)
- Right-click the downloaded file and select Run as administrator.
- Follow the on-screen prompts — the default settings are fine, no changes needed.
- Launch PlanSwift once installation is complete.
Takeoff Boost is supported on PlanSwift 11 Professional only, it currently is not compatible with PlanSwift Metric or PlanSwift Enterprise.
Step 2 — Install Takeoff Boost™
AI features in PlanSwift — including Auto Count, Auto Scale, Auto Bookmark, and Auto Takeoff — require a separate installer called Takeoff Boost™.
- Download the Takeoff Boost™ installer here: PlanSwift Installer Downloads (it’s the top row, named “Takeoff Boost for PlanSwift Professional”)
- Right-click the installer and select Run as administrator.
- If Windows shows a security warning, click More info → Run anyway. The installer is signed by ConstructConnect, Inc.
- Follow the prompts — no folder selection needed, defaults are correct.
- Launch PlanSwift. Go to the Tools tab to find the Takeoff Boost™ ribbon and its features.
Updating Takeoff Boost™
You don’t need to uninstall the old version first, the installer updates in place.
- Close PlanSwift completely and wait for the Takeoff Boost™ icon in your system tray to disappear.
- Run the new installer as administrator.
- Relaunch PlanSwift.
Takeoff Boost™ will also notify you automatically when an update is available. When you see the update prompt, just follow the same steps above.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Fix |
|---|---|
| Windows blocked the download | Click Keep, then More info → Run anyway. Confirm the publisher says “ConstructConnect, Inc.” |
| Takeoff Boost™ ribbon is missing after install | Re-run the installer as administrator. |
| Installer says Takeoff Boost™ is already running | Right-click the Takeoff Boost™ icon in the system tray → Quit, then retry. |
| Updates aren’t being detected | Confirm your computer can reach storage.googleapis.com — try opening that URL in a browser.
