Review, edit, and assign takeoff measurements

Takeoff is not finished when the last line is drawn. It is finished when the totals can be audited back to the sheet and explained by category and area.

Use the measurement list

The data panel or measurement list is where you catch mistakes: wrong category, missing room, duplicate counts, accidental clicks, or quantities that obviously do not belong.

What to check

  1. Confirm each measured item has the correct category.
  2. Assign measurements to the correct room or area where applicable.
  3. Open suspicious quantities back on the PDF and inspect the geometry.
  4. Delete test clicks, duplicates, and abandoned measurements.
  5. Add short notes when a quantity needs context.

Review totals two ways

  • By category: does the total scope look right?
  • By room/area: does each location have the expected work?
  • By sheet: did the right pages contribute to the quantity?
