Complete your project

Once you’ve completed as much takeoff with Togal.AI as the data allows, you’ll need to complete any other quantity takeoff for the project using other methods. Consider the following.

Take off components not found by Togal.AI

Remember that Togal.AI doesn’t work with all types of drawings, and even on architectural plan drawings, it might not find all components needed. Use SnapAI or the standard takeoff tools on drawings with incomplete or missing Togal.AI data.

Subtract areas from Togal.AI measurements where needed

Some measurements might require cutouts not identified by Togal.AI. In this example, the pool room was identified, but the area of the swimming pool needs to be subtracted from the room total for an accurate non-slip tile measurement. To perform that cutout:

1. Click on the measurement to select it.
2. Press the G key to add a disconnected measurement.

3. Click on points of the pool outline in a counter-clockwise direction to cutout that section.

Check Togal.AI measurements

NOTE: You can find complete instructions on using Dimension’s editing and other functions by selecting File > Help >
Display Online Training Guide. You can also press F1 at any time to see context-sensitive help.

Check the measurements Togal.AI found to make sure they accurately reflect the components you are measuring.

Once a measurement is taken off, Dimension doesn’t distinguish between those that were found by Togal.AI, SnapAI, or the standardtools. Therefore, use Dimension’s editing tools to make any adjustments needed as you normally would, such as Edit Points, Add Points, Move/Copy, and Disconnected Point.

For example, a count trace was used to find single-swing doors. Togal.AI identified all single-swing doors, including the restroom stalldoors. Use Edit Points to delete the points for the stall doors.

The measurement below included the bathtub in the guest room bathroom areas, but the tile flooring won’t extend underneath the bathtub. Use Edit Points to make the corrections.
