Even before the digital age of computers, calculating the square footage of a rectangular object was quite simple. The length times the width gives you the amount of square feet in that area. But in the construction industry, a square foot area can be quite difficult to figure. That is, until now. Now, PlanSwift can do the calculation for you. Have you ever had the difficult task of finding how many square feet of carpet you will need for an odd shaped room? Or tried to estimate how much concrete you would need for a curved sidewalk? How about figuring how much material for that complex deck? Now it's simple with PlanSwift. PlanSwift makes it easy to get the square footage numbers that you need to get the job done.

Square footage calculations can be done using digital plans in various file formats. PlanSwift also allows you to key in areas on a new page if you just have the measurements. You can even take a picture, measure one section that you can scale from, and get rough square footage numbers. With PlanSwift, it's a snap to calculate areas of triangles, circles, squares, and any other shape, even if it is complex. In the example to the right, you can see how simple it is to calculate the sq ft area even when the area has arcs and curves.
