ConstructConnect has migrated most iSqFt users to their new Project Intelligence platform. For information on sending a project from Project Intelligence/Bid Center to On-Screen Takeoff, see OST - 03.13 Creating Projects from ConstructConnect.com (CCPI and CC Bid Center) using OST-Connect.
Set On-Screen Takeoff as your takeoff solution
- Log into iSqFt's site,
- Click on Administration > Manage My Profile
- Click Edit in the "My Profile" section
- Under Project Takeoff Preferences, set "Takeoff Projects in:" to "On-Screen Takeoff"
- Click Save
Opening a Project
You must have On-Screen Takeoff installed before attempting to open an iSqFt project.
When you are looking at a project in iSqFt,
- Click on the "Documents" tab.
- Click Perform Takeoff
You may be prompted to Open or Save the OSX file:
- Click Open to automatically launch On-Screen Takeoff and load the project
Review the Help file, User Guide, and Training Videos for help on using planroom projects.
Archived Projects/Files
Issue
Attempting to download archived iSqFt images, may cause On-Screen Takeoff to lock up. Archived images show as a red A in the download window (Planroom tab). These plans/images are usually older and have been marked as "Archived" by iSqFt.
Resolution
The simplest workaround is to download the plans from isqft.com, manually create a bid in On-Screen Takeoff, and then add the downloaded images to the bid. Please note, this is not a problem with iSqFt or On-Screen Takeoff, OST was never designed to access "archived" drawings.
