# Create a drywall quantity takeoff

> 📱 This article covers the features available on the plan **Essentiel**.

Get all your surfaces, partitions and heights in a few minutes — without measuring by hand.

***

### The Scan

With an iPhone Pro (12 or later) or an iPad Pro (2020 or later), carry out an accurate Survey / Measurement to 98% in minutes.

1. Open Visuary and tap **New scan** → How to succeed with your scan
2. Move your device through the space, following the on-screen instructions
3. Tap the icon **Camera** to photograph constraints (duct runs, electrical panels, drains...) — the photo will be located on the plan
4. Press and hold to leave an **audio note** — note the type of load-bearing walls during the visit ("north wall: 20 cm concrete", "BA13 partition wall"...) so you can enter them easily afterwards

***

### Get the quantity takeoff

Once the scan is complete, tap **Save and continue**.

Open the tab **Quantity takeoff** to find, by room and overall:

* **Wall surfaces** excluding openings in m²
* **Ceiling surface** in m²
* **Partition walls in linear metres**
* **Ceiling height** by Zone in the Ceiling tab

> 💡 The Quantity takeoff updates automatically every time the plan changes.

→ The quantity takeoff

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.visuary.com/guide-visuary-en/depending-on-your-trade/create-a-drywall-quantity-takeoff.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
