Depending on the source of your plan files, you may find them difficult to read on screen when you first import them and open your Job file. Digital Takeoff permits you to adjust the color density of your plans to make them more discernible.
This is accomplished using the drop-down list box at the right hand side of the speedbar, next to Finish.
You have four options: Scale to gray, which turns black lines into grey lines; Favor black, which enables dark lines to stand out better against a white background; Resample, which emphasizes white and de-emphasizes black; and No adjustment, which restores the default characteristics of the plans. Experiment with these options to find which works best with your display.
