Measure: dimensions, takeoffs and a rough load

Overview#

Measure saves dimensions to the job (typed from your tape or laser), works out a material takeoff (line set, pipe, wire or duct: run + rise + an allowance per fitting + 10% waste) and a rough rule-of-thumb load estimate. Both are labelled as estimates. Measuring with the phone's camera (LiDAR/AR) isn't in this release.

Before you start#

• Settings › AI › AI assists › Measure must be on. No AI needed.

Steps#

1. Tap Measure in AI assists.

2. Under Measurements, type What and Length and pick the unit (ft, in, m, cm). Add measurement for more.

3. Optionally open Material takeoff (material, Run (ft), Rise (ft), Fittings) and Rough load estimate (square feet, climate).

4. Tap Calculate, then Save to job notes.

Settings that change this#

• Settings › AI › AI assists › Measure.

Tips#

• Size equipment from an ACCA Manual J calculation, not the rough estimate.

Troubleshooting#

• Calculate is greyed out → add at least one measurement, a run or square feet.

FAQ#

Q: When will camera measuring come? It's a planned next step; nothing is measured from the camera today.
