Open an architectural drawing in Dimension by double-clicking it in the list and set a scale. The scale is required before you can send it to Togal.AI. If you forget, Dimension will ask for the scale before sending the drawing.
IMPORTANT:
Always ensure you have set the correct scale before you upload the drawing. If the scale is incorrect, and the drawing has already been processed by Togal.AI, delete all measurements on the drawing, enter the correct scale, and resubmit the drawing while pressing the Ctrl key. See step 4, second bullet, below for more information.1. Click the Togal.AI On/Off button on the Dimension ribbon bar to turn Togal.AI on.
2. Open the Togal.AI control by clicking on the down arrow in the heading of an existing control and selecting Togal.AI from the list.
3. Click the Togal.AI Upload button to send the drawing to the Togal.AI Server. The upload speed is dependent on the upload speed of your internet service.
4. The Togal.AI header displays [Processing] in purple font while the drawing is being analyzed. The drawing in the list is also purple. While the drawing is processed, you can continue to work on this or other drawings in the project. Processing speed may vary significantly depending on the size and complexity of the drawing. Note that you might see other colors based on the results of the analysis:
n Red indicates that the drawing was returned with errors. Hold the CTRL key down while clicking the Togal.AI Upload button to re-submit the drawing, and if errors continue, contact Support.
n Brown indicates that the drawing’s scale no longer matches the measurements returned by Togal.AI. Do not use data from drawings with this indicator. Instead, delete all measurements on the drawing, and enter the correct scale. Hold down the CTRL key while clicking the Togal.AI Upload button to re-upload the drawing.
n Gray indicates that the drawing was processed by Togal.AI, but either the drawing type is not supported by Togal.AI at this time, or no measurements were found.
NOTES:
n If at any time you need to resubmit a drawing that has already been submitted to Togal, hold the CTRL key down while pressing the Togal.AI Upload button to resubmit the drawing.
n Togal.AI will process three drawings at a time. If you upload more than three, it will process subsequent drawings as earlier ones finish. If the drawing returns an error, click the Upload button again to retry the process.
5. The Togal.AI header displays [Ready] and the drawing name turns green when processing is finished. The drawing is now ready for you to pin measurements and add them to takeoff.
