Togal.AI Footprint (exterior wall length and area) measurement

View video demo of footprint measurements with Togal.AI

You can use Togal.AI footprints to take off the outer perimeter of a structure (the exterior wall length), or the area enclosed by the outer perimeter. The quantity you measure is determined by whether you select a length or area trace. 

Example 1: Using a footprint to take a perimeter measurement

  1. Start the Dimension exterior wall trace that you want to measure, and then select Footprints from the Type list. 

      The Items list shows a single classification, Footprint. In most cases, only one footprint per drawing is found. 

NOTE: Selecting Footprints will always result in a single total measurement for the perimeter, even if the Save option is set to Multiple.

2.    Select the Footprint check box to pin the exterior of the structure.
3.    Press Enter to finish the trace and add the perimeter quantity to takeoff.

Example 2: Using a footprint to take an area measurement

1.    Start the Dimension area trace that you want to measure, and select Footprints from the Type list.
2.    Hold your mouse over the footprint measurement and click to pin it, or select the Footprint check box to pin the area of the structure.
3.    Press Enter to finish the trace and add the area quantity to takeoff
