CAD people, do we have them?
 

So I've moved from basic CAD, drawing 2-d shit for submittals, to construction estimating/takeoff.

I've tried Blue Beam, but I'm not entirely convinced on the mathematical output/results.

Does anyone have any good LISP routines for calculating 2-d volume? I'd like to be able to to present cubic ft., cubic yard, etc.

Thanks!

(sorry if speaking Chinese to non-tech folks)

I'm not sure 2-D volume is technical talk. ;)

Unless you are looking for an obscure way to say zero.

LMAO

I use Bluebeam for processing submittals, but we use Planswift for takeoff. Much more capable and also includes estimating ability if you want it (we use Excel). Let me know if you want a link to download a demo of Planswift....

What trades are you estimating?

area?

I believe he is trying to calculate volume based on a 2D area and a given 3rd parameter.

I'm sure that's the case, I was just flipping him shit because he talked about apologizing for being too technical, and used the term 2-D volume.

heh, well yeah, area would require a 3rd parameter

volume? ;)

:cuss::cuss: LOOK WHAT YOU DID TO ME DAGNABIT :cuss::cuss:

Concrete and asphalt paving. Sweet Jeebus, I had software sales people calling me all day today.

I'll definitely try Planswift if you can hook me up without 20 phone calls. :)

Frankly, some good LISP routines would get the job done.

b00m.

Plan swift would be great for that, in fact a buddy that owns an asphalt company here bought it.
