Digitizer
Digitizer lets you quickly and accurately generate linear, area and counted takeoff in seconds. It's the application to automate your entire digitizing process and reduce all your manual spreadsheet and paper calculations.

Much of the timesaving benefits of Digitizer reside in its estimator-friendly dimension list. Rather than having to jot down digitized dimensions on a separate piece of paper or run manual calculations with an outside spreadsheet program, you can use Sage Timberline Office to automatically set up a customized dimension list. The dimension list stores all your regularly used dimensions that you can call on to complete an existing estimate or save for use with future estimates on similar jobs. You build your dimension list only once, not every time you start a new estimate.

Sage Timberline Office Estimating lets you build dimension lists to your exact specifications. Start from scratch by digitizing calculations to create a new dimension list. Or, import an existing dimension list from a previous estimate. Once imported, you can tailor your dimension list by making all the edits and additions you want. Then, when you're ready, switch over to the estimate spreadsheet and automatically fill quantity cells based on the calculations stored in your dimension list.

Digital "photo album"

• Save and store images as any standard picture file, such as .bmp, .tif, or .jpg.
• Pull up a building area or perimeter calculation and view the corresponding digitized image.
• For maximum storage capacity, compress files easily.

Instant recall and flexible views

• Access your dimension list directly from the quantity cell in the estimate, pre-filling quantities on the spot.
• Access your dimension list from Sage Timberline Office's assembly takeoff screen, saving multiple quantities, dimensions and images associated with any given assembly.
• Automatically pre-fill the quantity cell with the last digitized perimeter.
• Resize and reposition the Digitizer window any way you'd like to keep an eye on both the estimating screen and the digitizer screen at the same time.
• Count objects and digitize single lines, continuous lines and areas with on-screen display for instant identification of errors and omissions.

Additional efficiencies

• Create a customizable dimension list including the name, quantity, and image associated with calculations.
• Digitize an item and transfer the details and corresponding images directly to the dimension list for later use.
• Automatically import an existing dimension list and edit it on the fly.
• Immediately recall the dimension list or the last perimeter digitized from the estimating spreadsheet quantity cell, or the item or assembly takeoff screen.
• Access quantities and images while working in review assemblies mode within the estimating software.
• Continuously display the Digitizer window without having to re-launch the application.
• Accurate up to 1/1000 of an inch, compatible with virtually any digitizer hardware that uses a 32-bit WinTAB driver.
