Does KutchCAD work with PDF plans?

Yes. PDF plans can be used as part of the drawing and takeoff workflow. Confirm the type of PDF, scale and reference dimensions before measuring.

Can I exchange IFC models?

KutchCAD supports IFC exchange workflows. Share the IFC version and a sample model so EDICAD can confirm the import or export needed for your project.

Import and export your plans with KutchCAD

File exchange lets you reuse partners’ documents to prepare the model, quantities and project documentation.

2D plans, images and models

KutchCAD works with DWG, DXF, vector PDFs, images and IFC models. Available import and export options depend on the format, version and data it contains.

Before importing

Identify the file format and version.
Check units, coordinates and scale against a known dimension.
Check storeys, layers and information needed for work items.
Compare the imported result with the reference document.

Vector PDF and scanned drawings

A vector PDF contains different graphical information from a scanned image. For raster documents, legibility, scale and reconstruction work are crucial to quantity takeoff.

IFC models and quantities

A digital model can provide useful elements and properties. Check its scope and associate work items and formulas matching your method before approving quantities.

Prepare an export for a partner

Agree the format and information required, then check the file in the destination environment. A demonstration with your files helps assess compatibility.
