With one tool, in one click, in one second you could find yourself nearly done with your takeoff or estimate.

Single-click takeoff is a new feature of the successful construction software, PlanSwift®. With this tool you can create areas, linear measurements, and count items on your screen in a matter of seconds! PlanSwift took the hours it would normally take an estimator to complete a project and reduced them dramatically. Now with single click we’ve reduced those hours even more.

When asked about his experience, Steve Novy from Mulford Concrete was quoted as saying, “It saves me so much time doing take-offs that it pays for itself every time I use it…”

How does Single-Click take-off work?

With single-click takeoff, you essentially just point-and-click on an area and have it automatically detect the boundaries and draw in the area.

To begin select the single-click tool under the “Home” tab. Now fill in the information about the name, color, fill type, and what folder you would like it to be stored in (much of this information will be defaulted) and click OK.
Now simply click in the region you would like Single Click to discover.

If there’s a shape within the area that shouldn’t be highlighted just right click in the shape, select the “Single-click subtract from section” option, click inside the shape and hit the escape button and the shape will no longer be included in the area.
