On-Screen Takeoff is designed to use digital plans - using paper plans with a digitizer is supported. If you do not have access to digital plans, it is possible to have the paper plans converted to digital format. In most cases all you need to do is ask and you will be provided with digital plans on a CD, disk, via e-mail or possibly from a download site. There are times that you will receive only paper plans – don’t break out the ruler and colored pencils just yet!
There are a couple alternatives to this.
-
If you have a reprographer on staff, they could convert these paper plans to digital format for you.
-
There are professional services available, as well, that specialize in digitizing paper plans. Just check your local Yellow Pages for Reprographic Services.
On Center Software partners with ReproMax which provides these services, nationwide.
