Improvements

  • Takeoff Boost™ now more accurately draws:
    • Drawing takeoff on the center of walls
    • Removing extraneous net areas outside of buildings

Why is this a big deal?

Takeoff Boost™ previously was not doing a great job at aligning walls to what was shown on the drawing. Even if the measurement of the wall was correct, estimators noticed this issue and sometimes lost confidence in the results. Because Takeoff Boost wasn’t meeting our customer’s expectation in how estimators draw their walls, we knew we had to retrain the models to improve this.

This update also eliminates the amount of times net areas are drawn erroneously outside of the building.

Examples

Please note the before and after results below.
