The ability to create multiple different layers Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about On-Screen Takeoff®? That you can't split screen or view more than one sheet at a time. It is also a little clunky, like I don't know of any keyboard shortcuts that would help speed up my work. I also wish it was compatible with an Ipad or tablet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is On-Screen Takeoff® solving and how is that benefiting you?

Show More Response from Kelsey Erhart of On-Screen Takeoff® [Editedit](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/on-screen-takeoff-review-12083997/official_response/edit) Thank you for sharing your experience with OST and for calling out how helpful the ability to create multiple layers has been for organizing your takeoff and scope of work across different projects. While OST doesn’t currently support true “split screen” in a single Takeoff tab, you can open additional view windows (via the blue A icon on the right‑hand toolbar or by using Ctrl + 2) to look at multiple pages at once, which can help when you’re comparing sheets. Take a look at the URL we've included. There are also a number of built‑in keyboard shortcuts designed to speed up common actions, and our help resources walk through many of those so you can get more efficiency out of the tools. Thanks again for your review!

Provide widths and heights for area take offs." 2.5/5 What do you like best about On-Screen Takeoff®? The copying and pasting feature of take offs makes take offs quick. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about On-Screen Takeoff®? You can not customize shortcuts and navigating sheets is annoying. It also does not all you to snap to lines on the pdf (Bluebeam allows you to do this). The area take offs do not give you a width and height meaning you have to manually enter each of those values (Bluebeam also does this for you). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is On-Screen Takeoff® solving and how is that benefiting you? It is allowing me to perform take offs and share them with coworkers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Show More Response from Kelsey Erhart of On-Screen Takeoff® [Editedit](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/on-screen-takeoff-review-12047086/official_response/edit) Thank you for sharing your experience with OST and for calling out how copy‑and‑paste speeds up your takeoffs, especially when you’re repeating similar items across a project. It’s also great to hear that OST is helping you perform takeoffs and share them with coworkers. You’ve highlighted some important areas where we know we can improve. Today, shortcut keys in OST aren’t fully customizable, and the product doesn’t currently support snapping directly to PDF linework or automatically displaying width and height for area takeoffs the way you described - those values still need to be entered manually. We’ve passed your feedback on snapping, area dimensions, and shortcut customization to our product team for review as we continue refining the experience, and input like yours helps us prioritize what will save estimators the most time.

On-Screen Takeoff (OST) is a very smooth program to operate. Whether you are looking at a 1000 page set of construction drawings, or a 2 page napkin sketch, the interface and view of your workspace is smooth. Even when you are deep into a takeoff with markups, area takeoffs, counts and other notes littering your workspace, the software can keep up with you as you zoom, pan and jump page to page. Some competitors cannot say the same. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about On-Screen Takeoff®? Some of the tools come up a little short. Why can't there be some simple geometric tools to aid in markups or area takeoffs? There should also be a little bit more customization in the markup tools. It's not clear what some of the tools do, or how they would be useful to a user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering On-Screen Takeoff®: If you are just getting into the program and have the opportunity to jump into or view a project previously completed by a coworker, it might be a good idea to poke around their project to see how they utilized some of tools available on OST. Additionally, if you have a program like BlueBeam, it helps to load your drawings in BlueBeam first to rename, resize, recolor or make any modifications to your PDF before loading into OST. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is On-Screen Takeoff® solving and how is that benefiting you? We use On-Screen Takeoff to put together estimates, budgets and run take-offs in the construction industry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 6/5/2018 "easy to use program to do simple takeoffs " 3/5 What do you like best about On-Screen Takeoff®? the Thing i like best about On-Screen Takeoff is that it is so easy to use. when I was first introduced to the program about a year ago it only took me a few hours to get the hang of the program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about On-Screen Takeoff®? one thing i do not like about On-Screen is how the PDF uploads into the program. It uploads in black and white and almost seems grainy. If you have to do takeoffs on different regions indicated by different colors, when the PDF uploaded into On-Screen it is very hard to see the different sections. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is On-Screen Takeoff® solving and how is that benefiting you? I am using On-Screen to confirm volumes given to me on bid forms. also I use it to confirm quantity of material so that I can get an accurate price when bidding a job.

I like that the product is easy to use and is very functional. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about On-Screen Takeoff®? Most of my plans are in color and your product only does black and white. My sewer lines are green and when they transfer over to your file the green lines don't show up at all in black and white so I am always guessing on the sewer lines. This made me go to another takeoff software that allows me to view in color (STACK). I like your product better but I need to view the take off in color! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering On-Screen Takeoff®: You can not view you plans in color. Only Black and White. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is On-Screen Takeoff® solving and how is that benefiting you? I like the ease of the product but I have to use another takeoff software to view in color. So no benefits with your product until I can do my view in color. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Show More Response from Larry Walker of On-Screen Takeoff® [Editedit](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/on-screen-takeoff-review-306084/official_response/edit) Thank you for leaving your feedback on your experience with On-Screen Takeoff. It is always good to get feedback, even if it doesn't hit our 10-star expectations. We did want to let you know that On-Screen Takeoff does, in fact, supports full-color plan viewing as you asked for. You can see how to enable it here: https://www.oncenter.com/kbase/article/AA-00292 One of the biggest challenges with a product as robust as On-Screen Takeoff is letting our customers know every feature and function available. We are sorry you had to purchase additional software to do what you can do with OST. Please feel free to contact support, or use the "How do I" function inside On-Screen Takeoff to uncover how the software will do what you need it to. We look forward to serving your takeoff and estimating needs for the next 30+ years.
