Togal.AI Length (Walls) measurement

View video demo of length measurements with Togal.AI

Togal.AI identifies two types of length measurements (which typically represent walls): wall segments, and footprint, or the outer perimeter of a structure. In this example, you’ll see a wall segment measurement.

NOTE: You can use a length trace with type Net Area selected to find the perimeter of individual rooms. This is useful for components such as base trim or crown molding. For wall segments, however, a perimeter measurement could result in duplicate measurements, such as shared room walls. For length measurements the system defaults to the Net Area type. To find wall segments be sure to set the Type to “Walls”.

   1.  Start the Dimension length trace that you want to measure first.

   2.  Select the Togal.AI control’s Type to show Walls when you start a length trace.

   3.  For the Save option, select Single to save all wall measurements as a single quantity. (Selecting Multiple gives you an individual measurement for each wall segment found.)

   4.  Move your mouse over the drawing to see the wall segments found. Press the Ctrl key while hovering over a line segment to see all the other wall segments of the same Togal.AI classification.

The Items list in the Togal.AI control shows the classifications of wall segments found, and the quantity of each. Notice that bathroom, corridor, demising, and other wall types are distinguished.

   5.  To pin specific measurements, hold your mouse over a specific measurement and click it.

To pin all measurements of a particular classification, select its check box in the Togal.AI control.

Click any pinned measurement again to unpin it and exclude it from takeoff.

To end the measurement and add quantities to takeoff, press Enter.

NOTE: While taking a measurement, you can click Undo (or press Ctrl + Z or Backspace) to undo selections in the reverse order that you pinned them. You can also press Escape to cancel the trace without adding any of the measurements you selected.
