Try a takeoff on the fictional Cedar Ridge plan with your own AI. You review its work here. No Takeoff account or payment needed.
Saved quantities keep full precision; this only changes what is displayed. Snapping applies to sheets opened after the change.
Mouse speed applies to the wheel and the zoom buttons. Trackpad speed applies to two-finger scroll and pinch.
Optional. Helps improve cursor completion using normalized drawing points, the cursor path before each click, what it snapped to, predictor, response time and accept/reject outcomes. No PDF files or plan text. Suggestions work with sharing off.
Optional, and only with sharing on. Lets takeoff.bid train its own completion model on cropped plan images around your shared drawing steps, with title blocks masked. Never sent to outside AI services. Turning this or sharing off excludes your data from future training; models already trained are not changed.
Demo choices and sample outcomes stay in this browser; nothing is uploaded.
Current consent period, up to 30 days. Response time runs from suggestion display to your action; it is not model speed. Undo replaces an earlier accept.
Sharing is off. No outcomes are being collected.
Hotkeys 1–9 place a category with one click. Saved counts keep the category they were placed with.
