Carlson Takeoff 2009 will be available soon, taking the T2 "Estimator" and making it even more powerful. Click here to see the improvements for 2009.
This first-ever
AutoCAD®-based
site-estimating
software is now ICAD*-based, too, and
enhanced to continue to provide the ultimate answer for fast and accurate project estimating.
*IntelliCAD® is a robust, DWG-compatible CAD platform that every CAD developer can build upon. Included for no extra cost with every license of Carlson products.
|
Takeoff offers critical Drawing Cleanup features and advanced 2D to 3D routines that streamline the estimating process. It can input all data formats, including DWG, DXF, LandXML, and all formats of Centerline, Profiles, and Section Data. Takeoff calculates cut/fill material volumes and has 3D simulation as well as comprehensive reporting. In addition, roadwork, trenching, drill-holes, and sub-grades capabilities are all included for one affordable price. And with Carlson Civil RoadNet added in, Takeoff gives land developers the ability to lay out a collection of intersecting roads, process them all together, clean up all intersections and cul-de-sacs in 2D and 3D with a single click. |
