After the project information are entered, you need to import the project plans. The plans can be imported in any format, but it is highly recommended to convert the plans to TIF format, which is done by default through Planswift. TIF files are easier to navigate and minimize the lag time through navigating between the plans and facilitates the estimation process. Select the required information to print. There are several options to choose from:.
Note : Printing to scale is not possible unless the original electronic file is to scale, and the selected print size corresponds to the original file. The previous and next pages are not always the next in the list. PlanSwift goes by the pages you are viewing. This way you do not need to skip pages you are not using. The most important step when you start any project, is to adjust your scale. If you miss this step, then your whole estimate is wrong. If a plan image needs rotating or leveling, this needs to be done before the image is scaled.
There are two options in scaling the drawings: If the scale it written on the drawing and it is accurately scanned, then you can use the automatic scaling by selecting the lower portion of the button. You need to make sure that the scale is right through measuring several dimensions.
This ensures that the scale is set accurately. Note : In order to guarantee that the scale is properly set, make sure you verify one horizontal dimension and one vertical dimension. You can also choose the level of precision of the dimensions and if you want to show arrowheads at the ends of your dimension line or not.
To start recording the dimension, select the starting point by left clicking your mouse and then going to the end point and clicking again. Repeat this step to take all the necessary dimensions.
If you want to remove a dimension, all what you need to do is to click on it and press delete on the computer keyboard. The annotations tools help you make remarks and notes while you are studying your projects. There are several options in the Annotations:. Notes: Through the notes button you can add important notes you find to your drawings.
Through this window, you can choose the color of the notes window, transparency, text color, alignment and size in additions to the text alignment. It is possible to tick the Auto size button and the text will be fitted inside the assigned area for the note. Highlighter: The highlighter tool helps you mark any section or area in the drawings. Pressing the upper half of the highlighter button enables you to highlight any area on your plan, while clicking on the lower half of the button enables you to choose the color of your highlighter.
Overlay: You can place a separate page from your plans onto a page you are viewing through the overlay tab. There are two options available during overlay:. It is easy to add an image to Planswift.
You can browse to the image or enter the location. After inserting the image, choose the location of the image through your mouse, which allows you to adjust the size as well. Releasing the mouse button completes the action. Annotations: This is a new feature in Planswift 10, a dedicated Annotations button. This button enables you to add revision clouds, rubber stamps and sticky tabs. Clicking the upper half of the button will add a new annotation, while the lower half allows you to choose from the below options:.

You can accept the default or pick the properties you want for you item. Clicking on the lower half of the linear button option more options: Single click linear, which enables you to complete your takeoff in one click, wall area where you can give your wall dimensions and use the area in further calculation and the linear cubic yards which can be helpful in calculating concrete or earthworks quantities only using the linear measurement.
The Segment digitizer draws individual line segments but returns the total linear measurement for that object. This is helpful in case you would like to create a lumber or steel member list for your project.
The measurement steps are similar to linear items. The information and properties of the item are completed through the properties window. In order to count a new item, all what you need to do is to click on it and it will be counted. This tool enables you to finish your takeoff in just on click. By clicking on the button, you can choose either to measure Area, linear or count. Planswift inspects the plan and the possible boundaries, and by clicking inside a certain area it suggests the different takeoff options available.
This option allows you to choose a certain item and send it directly to the file you are working on. A window open where you can toggle between the different options. In case you are sending plans, just select what you want to email be checking the box in front of the plan. To select all pages in a plan folder, mark the check box for the folder.

Also, you can use this tool to find an unknown dimension with two known points. To do this, click on the two known points and the unknown dimension. This will show you how far away the unknown dimension is from the two known points.
