Switching

What feels familiar

Kisheet uses its own names, but the layout will feel familiar: tools down the side, a table of every measurement below the drawing.

Takeoff table: every measurement with grouping, filters, totals and formula columns.
Tool palette and tool sets: save your tools with their properties, share them across the office, or build a set from an Excel list.
Workspaces: Default, Estimating, Review and Viewing, which can be locked and shared.
Your files: takeoffs and markups are saved inside the PDF as standard annotations, so other PDF viewers can still show them.

Kisheet doesn't read Revu tool sets or profiles. You rebuild your tool sets once, or from an Excel list.
