Editing existing measures
Once a measure has been added to a drawing, you will find a number of options when click to select it.
- Continue area/path - This is available on area and path type measures. Clicking continue area/path will continue the measure from the last point added when the measure was originally completed.
- Add points - This is available on area and path type measures. Clicking add points provides you with the function to add an additional point to an existing measure. Once added, the new point can be adjusted as normal to modify the existing measure into a new shape.
- Delete points - This is available on area and path type measures. Clicking delete points enables you to delete an existing point on the measure. It will delete the path up to the deleted point from the previous point. If a point is deleted by mistake, it can be restored by clicking 'Revert changes'.
When adding or making changes to measures in takeoff, you may see a blinking orange circle in the bottom right to highlight your most recent change is currently being processed and saved to the cloud. Do not navigate away from the current page or close the page whilst the blinking circle is present as doing so may result in the change not saving correctly.
