Takeoff in Minutes Automatically
Quantity Takeoff provides a whole new way of working. Perform a takeoff on an entire building information model (BIM) in just minutes (not days, as with more traditional methods) through integration of 2D and 3D design data.

Greater Flexibility
With greater flexibility than typical databases or spreadsheets, Quantity Takeoff enables a smoother, more accurate quantity surveying workflow for cost estimators. Working in 3D, you can perform intuitive, interactive examination of models to gain a better understanding of the model for estimating purposes. Object visibility and transparency are adjustable according to building section or component type. The highly configurable project catalog makes it quicker and easier to organize design and construction objects.

Dynamic Counting
Count and quantify all design data related to your project more quickly and easily. Unlimited component subassemblies enable easier categorization and quantification of materials that make up individual building components. Use the Search Takeoff function for a faster takeoff of similar intelligent drawing objects, seamlessly organize them in the project catalog, and immediately analyze your results in the powerful quantity takeoff workbook.

More Efficient Manual Takeoff
Quantity Takeoff now has more powerful manual takeoff capabilities that support the takeoff of JPG, TIF, PDF, and other “non-intelligent” image formats. Use multiple line segments, arcs, or a combination of line and arc segments when tracing geometry on a floor plan. Specify whether to treat a series of continuously drawn segments as a single takeoff measurement or as individual takeoff measurements. Rapidly perform area calculations, linear measurements, and counts, and organize your results more quickly and easily in the project catalog.

Share, Query, and Clarify
Autodesk Quantity Takeoff automatically generates quantities linked to specific objects, enabling faster, more efficient navigation and takeoff. Mark up and “round-trip” your comments with integrated, intuitive redlining tools, and visually cross-reference individual objects and items, even within the most complex system of project documents.

Faster and More Insightful Quantity Reports
Using Quantity Takeoff’s flexible reporting capabilities, estimators can run high-level summaries and detailed quantity surveying reports more quickly and easily. They can also export their report results to Microsoft® Excel® or publish to Autodesk® DWF™ formats.
