DraftPlanar vs PlanMeasure Takeoff

A fast PDF plan viewer for Mac and iPad, with takeoff and markup built in. DraftPlanar opens huge construction drawing sets side by side on an infinite canvas and keeps them fast: 500+ page sets pan and zoom at 60 FPS, and lines and text stay sharp at any zoom. Also on iPhone. IF YOUR PDF READER IS SLOW ON DRAWINGS A single construction sheet can hold hundreds of thousands of lines, hatches and text runs. Readers built for ordinary documents lag, blur or stall on them. DraftPlanar was built from the ground up for drawings, from reading the file to drawing it on screen, so large sets stay smooth on Mac and iPad. AT THE DESK ON MAC. IN THE FIELD ON IPAD. • Mac: lay the whole set out on a large display, use a single-letter shortcut for every tool, take off quantities precisely with a trackpad or mouse, and present to the room over AirPlay. • iPad: mark up with Apple Pencil, measure by touch with a magnifier that shows the exact point under your finger, pin notes with a photo or voice memo, and keep working with no signal. One subscription covers Mac, iPad and iPhone. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Takeoff Length chains, area and perimeter, angles with a 15° snap, and count series that total across sheets. Points snap to the PDF's own vector lines, and every sheet keeps its own scale. DraftPlanar reads the scale printed in the title block and checks it against dimensions on the drawing. Totals sit in a list beside the plan, and export to PDF or CSV. • Markup Draw and redline with Apple Pencil. The ink is vector, so it stays sharp when you zoom in. An eraser that removes only your strokes, text boxes (including Chinese, Japanese and Korean input) and text highlighting. • Copy & Export Drawing Details Select part of a PDF drawing and copy its vector lines and text, or export the selection as SVG or a one-page PDF. Vector details stay sharp; scanned regions copy as images. • Notes & Punch Lists Drop numbered notes on the exact spot on the drawing, with category, priority, status, assignee and due date. Add a photo or voice memo, filter the list, and export a punch-list PDF report anyone can read. • Search Find any word in native PDFs, in scans and photos (text recognition runs on your device), and in text you typed. • Compare Revisions Overlay two versions of a PDF page by page, so what changed stands out. • PDF Layers Turn individual layers on and off, such as architecture, structure or MEP, and filter long layer lists by name. • And more Adaptive dark mode, AirPlay presenting with a pointer, PDF export, and a built-in Feature Guide with every shortcut. 100% PRIVATE & OFFLINE - All processing happens on your device.

Measure plans, organize quantities, and build an estimate on iPhone, iPad, or Mac. PlanMeasure Takeoff opens blueprint PDFs and plan images, measures lengths, areas, and counts, and helps you price the work. Plans and project data are processed locally; no account or plan upload is required. CHECK THE SCALE • Calibrate each sheet from a known dimension. • Use architectural, engineering, and metric PDF scale presets. • Check the scale against a second known dimension and see its provenance and verification status. • Review missing-scale warnings before export. A printed scale alone cannot confirm that a scanned or resized plan is accurate. ORGANIZE BY ROOM OR FLOOR • Label selected items with a room, floor, zone, or other location. • Search those labels and keep them in CSV exports. • See location subtotals in text and PDF reports, with length, area, and count quantities kept separate. • Items missing a page or required scale are identified and excluded from location subtotals. • Locations are assigned manually; the app does not automatically divide a drawing into rooms. MEASURE AND PRICE • Trace lengths and areas, count fixtures, and enter field quantities. • Snap to traced endpoints, midpoints, intersections, or the grid, with optional angle constraints and a touch loupe. • Apply unit prices, waste, and slack; reuse personal cost kits. • Convert estimated quantities into whole-package material orders using your package coverage. • Review package counts, overage, trade totals, and missing-price checks. • See purchase estimates and extra whole-package costs in the editor and reports. These use your entered unit rate, including any labor in that rate, and exclude tax and delivery. Existing bid totals remain unchanged. • Calculate contingency, overhead, profit, and a final bid total. KEEP AND SHARE YOUR WORK • Undo and redo changes across the estimating workflow. • Restore automatic draft checkpoints after an interrupted session. • Export a portable project backup with its plan pages and restore it as a separate copy on a compatible device. • Export CSV, marked-up plans, and PDF bid reports. • Try the included demo before importing your own plan. For framing, flooring, drywall, painting, roofing, concrete, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and general estimating. Measurements depend on the source drawing, calibration, and your inputs. Verify dimensions, scope, prices, and exported quantities before ordering materials or submitting a bid. • Preview measured quantities before applying a known-dimension scale change, including the affected item count and reminders when units change.
