Import from On-Screen Takeoff | Microvellum Knowledge Base

Microvellum offers the ability to import an On-Screen Takeoff (CSV) file to create projects, rooms, products, and parts.

On-Screen Takeoff

Once a project has been exported from On-Screen Takeoff, it can be imported into Microvellum.

The CSV file being imported MUST be located in the same folder location as the .osm (On-Screen Mapping) file.

To import an On-Screen Takeoff file, select Microvellum Setup > Import from On-Screen Takeoff.
