How to Measure and Take Off Quantities in BIMeta Blueprint

Steps

1. Select Calibrate (shortcut K) and draw over a dimension of known length, then enter its real length.
2. Choose Length, Area or Count.
3. Set the Active Group so measurements are grouped (e.g. by trade).
4. Review totals in the Measurements panel.
5. Click Export Excel... to share the takeoff.

If you see an “uncalibrated page” warning, calibrate that page before trusting its measurements.
