Auto Scale. Set scale once. Measure with confidence.
Auto Scale reads scale information, then applies the right settings across selected pages or the full plan set, so you can start takeoff with less manual setup.
Takeoff BOOST™ uses artificial intelligence to provide results. Review and verify results before using them in an estimate.
What Auto Scale does
Read scale directly from the plan
Auto Scale detects scale bars, scale notation, and reference markers printed on the page.
Apply scale across selected pages
Set scale on one page, a group of pages, or an entire plan set in a single run instead of checking every page manually.
Start measuring sooner
Reduce repetitive setup work so you can move from plan review to takeoff faster.
Flag unclear pages for review
When a page does not contain a readable scale indicator, Auto Scale flags it for manual review instead of guessing.
Work with Auto Takeoff
When Auto Takeoff reaches an unscaled page, Auto Scale can set the page scale before measurement begins.
Runs in the background
Keep working in PlanSwift while Auto Scale finishes checking your pages.
Best fit for large plan sets pulled from different sources, where scale can quietly vary page to page.
How Auto Scale Works
1
Select your pages
Open Auto Scale from the Tools tab and choose the pages or plan set you want to process.
2
Let Auto Scale read the plans
Auto Scale identifies scale information from each page and applies the detected scale across your selection.
3
Review before takeoff
Spot-check key pages and adjust any page or region that needs a different scale before you begin measuring.
These features use Artificial Intelligence to provide results. It is your responsibility to verify results to ensure accuracy.
Reduce page-by-page scale work
Handle repetitive scale setup in one run instead of entering scale manually across a large plan set.
Keep measurements on track
Set scale before measuring so your quantities start from the correct foundation.
Handle large plan sets with less effort
Process the pages you need together when drawings come from different sources or contain varied scale information.
Keep control of accuracy
Use AI to speed up setup, then verify scale on key pages before relying on the measurements in your estimate.

Yes. Always spot-check key pages before drawing takeoff. Auto Scale provides a starting point, but you are responsible for verifying that the scale is correct.
Yes. PlanSwift supports multi-scale plans. After Auto Scale processes the page, set any differing region manually as needed.
Auto Scale flags the page for manual review rather than guessing at the scale.
Yes. When Auto Takeoff encounters an unscaled page, Auto Scale can run automatically before the takeoff proceeds.
