CX Takeoff Assistant
Import
Opens a complete project in one file — alignment, orthophoto, plan sheets, sections and measurements. You can also drag & drop a project ZIP or individual files anywhere on the window.
Project: (no alignment loaded)
The loaded alignment XML names the project. Measurements and sections are kept per project.
Export
Saves everything currently loaded into one project ZIP you can reopen later or hand off.
Danger zone
Permanently clears all saved registrations, calibrations, sections, measurements, groups and settings stored in this browser, then reloads. Your source files and exported ZIPs are not affected.
▸Alignment
No alignment loaded. Load a LandXML to overlay & register against. Multiple alignments in one file are supported — pick the active one (radio) for stationing.
▸Plan pages
Load a PDF in the Imports tab, then page through and register each sheet here.
▸Register plan sheet
Click a point on the sheet whose station you know, enter the station, repeat, then register. The ortho needs no registration.
Point 1not set
Point 2not set
For sheets with 2+ plan panels, register each panel as its own area, then mask each to its panel.

▸Sheet mask (current page)

0%
Clips the sheet to its matchlines so neighbors don't overlap. Saved & exported per sheet.

▸Groups & sheets
Tick sheets, then “Assign selected”.
No registered sheets yet. Register a page to add it here.
▸Compare groups (A / B)
Swipe: drag divider. Fade: A↔B slider. Toggle: flip (or press T).
▸Reference (DXF underlay)
No reference loaded. Use “Import DXF” (Import tab) and choose reference overlay.

▸Measure
Pick a type, click Start, then click points on the map. Double-click to finish & name it.
Measured in ground units — accurate to the registration under the cursor (ortho is most reliable).
▸Units
▸Saved & export
Tick measurements, then “Assign selected”.

▸Export
Pick a scale, then Build (Scroll) or Add custom plot area.
Grips — square: move · dot: rotate · red ×: delete · Scroll diamonds: length · Custom corners: resize.
▸Profile sheets
Import utility profile sheets. They stage to the south of the plan, centered on the site (left-to-right; they auto-re-center as you add). Next: calibrate the dual scale, trace the trench boundary, and read volume by depth range.
No profile PDF loaded.

▸Plan sheets (real location)
Utility plan sheets register in their true location over the ortho — use the existing two-point stationing in Align / Trim. They drape north of the profile workspace. A plan↔profile link (shared stationing) is coming.
Cross sections
No section PDF loaded.

Grid layout
Panels tile in a grid 300′ east of the easternmost alignment point.
Stationing
Each new panel takes “Next”, then it advances by the interval. Confirming or editing a panel’s station re-anchors the count — type a special station (bridge, etc.) and counting resumes from it.
Auto-read from PDF
Reads the PDF’s text layer (selectable text) — works on raster or vector graphics, but not scanned sheets with no text.
OCR reads text from the placed image (for scanned sheets). Needs internet, slower, always verify.
Cut / fill areas
Pick a tool, then click inside a panel to trace an area. Double-click or Enter to close · Esc cancels · Backspace removes last point.
Volumes (average end area)
Station your panels and trace cut/fill areas, then compute.
Straight average-end-area; curvature correction comes next.
Plan overlay
Marks where visible plan line/area measurements (e.g. TCP phase limits) cross each stationed, calibrated panel — drawn as offset markers in the measurement’s color.
Panels
No section panels yet.

▸Surfaces & roles
Load surfaces with Import → Import Surfaces (or include them in the combo ZIP). Confirm each surface’s role before comparing.
No surfaces loaded.
▸Surface display
Pick a surface and render.
▸Compute
Pick two surfaces (or use OG → SG) and compute.
