Article contents: steps on how to import and upload plans to Buildxact
Importing your plans into Buildxact enables you to scale your plans and create takeoffs. This process eliminates the need for paper copies of plans measured manually, it keeps all your plans, measurements, and takeoffs attached to the project in one place, improving the speed and accuracy of your work.
Navigate to Estimates in the left-hand menu.
Click on the Plans & Takeoffs tab.
Click on the Upload a plan button.
Drop files into the highlighted area or click to upload from computer files. Your plans will be auto scaled based on the scale displayed on the original plans. If you would prefer to scale your plans manually, uncheck the Auto scale plans box.
Select the plans you want to upload from your computer. You will be given the option to specify pages or a range of pages to import. You can import all pages by leaving this blank.
Click 'Import' to start the import process.
If you encounter a "no plan could be found" error message, try refreshing the page and attempting the action again.
