Project Progression Series

Takeoff 2009 Will Work For You!

bullet Digitize less! Get the ability to turn scanned paper plans into CAD linework.
bullet Send jobs straight to Topcon MC. Exports both .tn3 (surface models) and now .ln3 (linework) files.
bullet Work with “bad CAD” more easily. With more functions in Drawing Cleanup.
bullet Get more info. Volume Reports now include horizontal area and max cut/fill.
bullet See more. Improvements made to Cut/Fill Color Map and Contours.
