Autodesk Takeoff API

We were excited to announce the release of Autodesk Takeoff API! In this first release of Takeoff API, the focus is to provide read access; in particular, to access inventory data stored in Takeoff product. 

Using API, you can read following information: 

• Measurement system under project admin 
• Classification systems 
• Packages 
• Takeoff types 
• Takeoff items   
• Content views (i.e., refers to either a 3D BIM model view or a 2D pdf sheet that a user could use to create takeoffs.)
