AbstractOn-Screen Takeoff 3.98.14.04 is chock full of tech goodness! First, we've introduced tools to make editing existing takeoff easier than ever! - Ever come across a linear takeoff object that is just slightly askew? Previously, you'd have to delete it entirely and redraw it - now you can adjust the endpoint, just like you'd expect.
- Next up, area takeoff objects sometimes have additional vertices (joints) that just aren't needed and make repositioning or resizing difficult. Now you can use the Simplify tool to straighten out those segments and remove unneeded joints.
- Lastly, we changed the Split Area Takeoff Tool to support splitting an area takeoff object that includes backouts.
Second, we modified some of the default Options in On-Screen Takeoff to make the New User Experience better. Takeoff Boost users had concerns about performance and accuracy. We've made improvements to Takeoff Boost to speed up the processing of a Page (down to less than 30 seconds, usually) and improve the quality of linear and area takeoff. Takeoff Boost now gives you more accurate results faster! Last, we fixed a couple bugs, one related to How Takeoff Boost worked interactive Bids and a performance issue on the Cover Sheet. New FeaturesChanges- You can now split an area takeoff object that includes backouts (although you cannot split a backout) - OST - 09.02.01 Splitting Linear Segments and Area Takeoff Objects
- We've adjusted the default Options to make onboarding new users a better experience; see OST - 19.02 Program Options - General Tab (Adjusting How You Work with OST) for more information.

- Net Area accuracy improvements on floor plans. Visually more accurate net area
 - (The Takeoff Boost improvements are cloud-based so users of 3.98.10.x and newer will benefit from them.)
Fixes- When running Takeoff Boost in an OST/QB Interactive Bid, the Boost Conditions sync but the quantities did not update (TE-4263)
- Adding a large number of images (~100) using Auto Add or Insert New Image Page does not update Plan Organizer in Cover Sheet and can cause the application to freeze (TE-4777)
Known IssuesNo new Known Issues in this version, these are carried over from previous versions: - ART3-4307 - Drawing Named Views on both the Image Window and Annotations and View Window and attempting to duplicate a name shows message and saves NV without name
- ART3-4308 - Removing annotations in the Image window when the Annotation and View window and View window are open does not update properly
- ART3-4309/TE-6408 - Drawing takeoff in the Image window is not reflected in the Annotation and View Window or View window
