Set the Drawing Scale for Takeoffs

Objective

To set the Drawing Scale of uploaded drawings for a Procore Estimating project.

Background

By default, uploaded drawings for a Procore Estimating project do not have the Drawing Scale configured. Setting up the Drawing Scale after uploading plans is imperative, since it determines the measurement between the plan and actual project. When configuring Drawing Scale for uploaded drawings, you can choose to use common scales or set the scale manually.

    • 'Standard' or 'Admin' permissions to the project's Estimating tool.
