Navisworks 2015: 2D Sheet Takeoff

Several new tools have been added so that you can use 2D sheets to quantify objects. The tools let you draw over a DWF file's lines, or use the linework to extract perimeters and areas. The provided movie shows the tools in use. 

 

Two additional movies show the required setup. To create the DWF files view the DWF Files Video. To create a quantification workbook view the Quantification Workbook in Navisworks Video.
