Zip Takeoff docs
Each page covers one workflow in Zip Takeoff, with numbered steps and a short clip recorded in the real app. Use them to check how a tool works before you sign up, or to learn it without the in-app tour.
Getting started
Takeoff

Trace areas, rectangles, circles, lines and counts on a sheet, then edit corners.

Create the named, colored line items your takeoff measures into.
Smart Area, Linear, Count
Click a hatch or a line, or box one symbol, then review the suggested takeoff.

Subtract holes from an area, split it in two, or extend a finished shape.
Move to another condition
Reassign measured shapes to another condition, one at a time or in bulk.
