U.S. Patent Office Grants Estimating Edge Patent for VECTOR Product
Estimating Edge announced that the company has been granted U.S. Patent No. 11,321,500 for Smart Takeoff Estimation Systems and Methods for VECTOR, a web-based 2-D quantity solution that extracts data from 3-D Models. VECTOR allows the user to automate the takeoff process and focus on the estimate, not the tedious work of measuring what’s already been counted, ultimately speeding up the takeoff process between 40 to 70 percent.
VECTOR is easy to use: Import a 3-D model and VECTOR will extract the quantities, filter the noise, verify the properties and finish with an automated 2-D takeoff. VECTOR leverages new technology without having to learn complex 3-D software. The estimator can easily automate quantities from 3-D models and detect design conflicts earlier in the process with new innovative features such as its groundbreaking intelligent 3-D viewer. Additionally, after validating the 3-D elements, VECTOR allows the estimator to finish takeoff in 2-D or simply use VECTOR with just 2-D plans. The solution is a next-gen takeoff solution that enables the estimator to work faster, using new innovative web-based technology.
