FAQs
What is the Advanced Takeoff Editing Toolbar in Beam AI?
The editing toolbar is a set of intuitive tools that lets you adjust AI-based takeoffs by drawing, measuring, selecting, and marking up directly within the platform.
Can I edit existing takeoff features with the toolbar?
Yes. You can easily adjust or refine existing features with just a few clicks, ensuring your takeoff stays accurate and aligned with project requirements.
Is it possible to add new features to my AI takeoff?
Absolutely. You can add new points, lines, and surfaces to your takeoff using tools like add count and polyline—all within the Beam AI platform.
Can I use the toolbar to mark up or annotate plans?
Yes. Along with editing and adding features, the toolbar includes markup and measuring tools to annotate plans for better clarity and collaboration.
Why do the tools in the toolbar change sometimes?
The tools available depend on whether editing is enabled and the type of feature geometry (point, line, or polygon) you’ve selected.
What tools are available for points, lines, and polygons?
- Points: Add counts, select multiple points, and delete.
- Lines: Add straight/curved lines, snip, split, or convert polygons to lines.
- Polygons: Draw shapes (rectangle/circle), add/remove holes, reshape, or merge polygons.
What are the markup tools that are available in the Beam AI platform?
You can add drawings, text boxes, or arrows for communication or notes. These markups don’t affect measurements and can be hidden separately.
