FloorRight
FloorRight can import a PDF file, AutoCAD file, DWF file, Bitmap image, or SiteDraw. Your estimator can import several pages at once in FloorRight Commercial. Your estimator will then be able to set a custom scaling for these pages. Multi-page PDFs are automatically parsed, with each page imported into its own tab. Your estimator can now quantify each tab separately or combine all pages, if desired. Before your estimator starts drawing the rooms, they will need to create the finish schedule materials, such as tile, carpet, wood, pattern material, wall base or transitions. FloorRight will generate carpet tiles in any repeating pattern, such as hexagonal, herringbone or other. The program will accurately calculate quantities of waste and material needed to bid on a job.
