Advanced Features

• Takeoff electronic drawings on-screen with mouse. Program integrates with decDigital® e-Takeoff!, the electronic takeoff program. Over 80 different file formats are supported. User can zoom in for high-resolution and accuracy. Moving around in the drawing is easy with special PAN feature. Numeric and graphic data are automatically linked to decDigital® Power Takeoff.
  
• Generate 3D quantities and view 3D image from any angle.

3D perspective image can be rotated to any viewing angle.

• Work Breakdown Structure is easily managed with “layers” and “group filters”.

Layer definition screen

• Graphic information can be exported to a DXF file for post processing in CAD programs.
• Annotate image with text – drag-and-drop text labels and revise text with ease.
• An Object Editor allows the user to inspect and modify the attributes of individual digitized objects. An example would be to move a room object from a layer defined for carpet to a layer defined for floor tile when a change in floor finish specifications is issued. A few mouse clicks eliminates the need to re-digitize the object!

• Each of 100 layers can be assigned its own custom count symbol. Count symbols are conventional Windows *.bmp files. User can create an unlimited library of count symbols with the decDigital® Bitmap Editor.

Bitmap Editor is easy to use.

• Powerful dynamic link library (decDigital.dll) provides extended macros for highly automated data transfer with other programs. Macros are provided in sample Excel™ spreadsheets.

When a value is transferred from decDigital® Power Takeoff, a macro in this spreadsheet retrieves the graphic image associated with that quantity. That image can be displayed with a double-click on the quantity field, and hidden with a single-click. This feature is activated by simply enabling a hotkey transfer in decDigital® Power Takeoff! The value of this graphic audit trail cannot be overstated!

• Upload field measurements from a handheld laser distance meter. Power takeoff creates floor plans and generates the takeoff quantities.

• Manual entry of dimensions creates digitized image from field notes when no scale drawing is available!

Manual drawing screen

• Scale Master® II digital planwheel can be used with decDigital® Power Takeoff to digitize complex polygons, providing a very portable alternative when a digitizing tablet is not available.

Digitizing a drawing with Scale Master® II

• Palm Handheld Computer programs permit user to digitize with standard tablet or with a Scale Master® II digital planwheel. No other system is as portable as a Palm plus a Scale Master® II!
