How the workspace works
- Open a step from here and a bar at the top of the tool shows where you are, with links to the step before and after.
- Some tools have a "Next step" button that carries your result into the next tool in this browser tab, such as room areas into a bill of quantities.
- Calculators and lists remember what you typed in this browser, so you can stop and come back. You can turn that off on each tool.
- Nothing is uploaded. Files you choose stay on your device.
