Features

If you are upgrading from v.3.98.07 or early, now you can get a head start on takeoff using Takeoff Boost™!

Reminder: Takeoff Boost is a subscription-based feature and requires its own, unique license key, separate from your OST (takeoff) license key

Takeoff Boost now supports multi-page PDFs
Allow user to stop Boost (up to the point that it begins saving Results for a Page)
AI Improvements - Takeoff Boost generates straighter linear takeoff and fewer vertices on area takeoff (requires fewer adjustments)
Updates to several Takeoff Boost dialog boxes to make them clearer and more user-friendly
When Takeoff Boost returns Results, any Boost Layers that were hidden (turned off) but are used for the current results will be shown (turned back on)
The prompt that shows when you open the Image Tab on a page that is backed by a PDF to "Convert to TIFF" no longer displays

ON-5320 - Attempting to close a database while Boost is processing does not update condition results
ON-5323 - The Boost toolbar/button is now visible upon upgrading or fresh installations. You can hide this toolbar/button if you don't use Takeoff Boost

Flipping (vertically or horizontally) some Linear and Area takeoff objects causes them to recalculate with fractionally different Results
