OST Image Tab Takeoff Mode toolbar

By default, this toolbar is docked on the right-side of the application.

Button Icon What it does/What it means... Function
OST Continuous Mode linear takeoff button Continuous Mode When you are drawing linear takeoff, you can use Continuous Mode if you are drawing several, connected segments.
OST Area takeoff backout button Backout Mode You can use Backout Mode on existing area takeoffs to deduct or 'cut out' some of the area (think about an inset to a ceiling or floor that is a different material).
OST Align area takeoff grid button Align Grid Mode When drawing area takeoff, if the Condition is configured to account for a grid, this tool allows you to align that grid so it matches the plans. Only active when you select a single gridded area takeoff.
OST Auto Count button Auto Count Activates the Auto Count feature which allows a user to select part of a drawing and run a search of the plan for matching patterns and then places a Count takeoff object there (only active when you select a Count Condition).
OST Split Linear takeoff button Split (Linear) Segment Takeoff When you have one linear takeoff object selected, click this button and then click on the object where you want to "break" it in two.
OST Split Area takeoff button Split Area Object When you have one area takeoff object selected, click this button and then draw a line through the object where you want it split. You can drag it over a complex shape to create multiple area objects, however you cannot split a takeoff object that includes a backout (you must delete all backouts first, then split the object, then you can redraw the backouts).
OST Simplify Area takeoff button Simplify Area Object When you have one area takeoff object selected, click this button and On-Screen Takeoff will remove unnecessary vertices from the perimeter segments (leaving you with longer, straighter segments - easier to adjust).
