Run a takeoff yourself by prompting the agent, or hand your documents to the Tangible team. Both produce the same structured data, and you work with the results the same way.
| You run it | Tangible runs it | |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | Faster — you start it when you're ready | Scheduled with the team |
| Control | You set the scope and every assumption | You confirm scope up front |
| Scope | 3D model based, optimized for structures and enclosures | Full building scope |
Prompt the agent to run the takeoff yourself. Faster, and you control the scope, the timing, and every assumption behind the numbers.
Best for
Create a version
Every takeoff runs against a version — a snapshot of the project at a point in time. Pull models from Autodesk, or add them by manual upload.
Upload your model and drawings
Open Documents and upload the Revit model and PDF drawing set, or connect Autodesk Construction Cloud to sync them automatically. Once the version has a model, the panel opens on it in 3D — the Documents back link returns to the file list.
Prompt the agent
Ask the agent to run the takeoff on the scope you want. It maps each element to a standardized assembly and extracts quantities, streaming its progress into the sidebar as it works.
Review and refine
Takeoffs finish in a few hours, and quantities land as the run completes. Ask the agent to explain any assembly, change an assumption, or swap a product.
Tip: Upload the Revit model and PDF drawings together. The model gives geometry; the drawings give the design intent the agent needs to customize each assembly.
Once the quantities land, see Bill of Materials for reading the results, and Refining Data for changing them. Scope the model doesn't cover comes in separately — see Unmodeled Elements.
