Togal.AI Net Area measurement

View video demo of area measurements with Togal.AI

   1.  Open a drawing listed in green (meaning it has been processed by Togal.AI). In the Togal.AI control, notice that the Type is set to Net Area, which is the type for area measurements.

The Items list shows you the Togal.AI classifications of objects found, and the quantity of each. In this example, the list shows only area-type objects, because Net Area is selected for the Type.

NOTE: The classifications you see are generated by the Togal.AI algorithm and cannot be modified or renamed.

The classifications might not correspond with actual components you need to take off, so use them as a starting point to confirm the measurements you need. Select a classification’s check box to see all measurements for that classification, and then click any individual measurements to remove them from takeoff.

   2.  Start the area trace that you want to measure by double-clicking it in the Trace list. Then move your mouse over the drawing to see the Togal.AI measurements.

   3.  If you want to pin all measurements of a particular type, click the check box in the Togal.AI control. You can then click selected measurements a second time to unselect them.

   4.  You can also find all related measurements of a classification by pressing the Control-key while holding your mouse over a Togal.AI measurement. The Save option specifies whether to save each measurement individually (Multiple, as shown here), or you can change it to Single to save all measurements as a single aggregated total.

   5.  To end the measurement and add it to takeoff, press Enter. At this point, the measurement is complete, and you can add WBS codes, descriptions, and variable values as you normally would.

IMPORTANT: Once you pin Togal.AI measurements and add them to your takeoff, they appear as normal Dimension measurements, with nothing indicating they originally came from Togal.AI. If desired, consider using a WBS code, layer, or other attribute to distinguish Togal.AI measurements from others.
