Here is a tip to help you determine if you have measured your plans accurately.

Once you have scaled your plans:

  1. In the "Plans and Take Offs" tab

  2. Click the green "+" button to add a new measurement in the Take Offs section to the left

  3. Rename the measurement "test"

  4. Change the UOM to "lm"

  5. Click the take off tool to start a new measurement

6. Choose the plan with measurements

7. Use the blue slider to zoom in on the plan

8. Draw along a measurement

9. Check the length of the line on the plan

10. This is the length of the line you have drawn, to then compare to the measurement in step 9
