Takeoff Studio Pro

Rooms and finishesPRO

Turn measured areas into rooms with a height, floor, wall and ceiling finishes, skirting, and their doors and windows. Takeoff Studio works out the floor and ceiling area, the wall area less openings and the skirting less door widths, with totals for each finish and each level.

How it works

Step by step

1

Make the rooms

Trace them with One-click area and tick Make rooms, or draw an area round a room, select it and click Make this a room in the Selection tab.

2

Give each room its details

A number, name, level or zone and ceiling height, then its floor, wall and ceiling finish and skirting. Heights can be typed as 2.4, 2400mm or 8' 0".

3

Add doors and windows

Click + Door or + Window and set how many and their size, such as 2 doors 0.9 x 2.1. They come off the wall area, and doors also come off the skirting.

4

Read the totals

The Rooms tab lists every room with its quantities, then totals for each finish and each level. Filter by level and click a room to find it on the drawing.

5

Export the schedule

Export the room schedule and totals to Excel or CSV, or carry the finishes into the NRM2 bill.

Help: Rooms, assemblies and NRM2 has every option in detail.

Frequently asked questions

How is the wall area worked out?

Perimeter x ceiling height, less the doors and windows you add to the room. The perimeter is the room's outer perimeter, so a column cut out of the floor doesn't add wall.

How is the skirting worked out?

The room's perimeter less the width of each door.

Can I change the finish lists?

Yes. Open Finish lists in the Rooms tab to change the floor, wall, ceiling and skirting choices, one per line. The lists are saved with the project.

Do cutouts come off the floor area?

Yes. The floor and ceiling areas are less any cutouts, such as a stair void.

Is it free?

Rooms and finishes are part of Takeoff Studio Pro (£24.99 a month or £199.99 a year, first month free). Measuring areas is free.
