Frequently asked questions
What mechanical components does the AI recognize?
Aginera identifies ductwork (supply, return, exhaust), diffusers, registers, grilles, VAV/CAV boxes, FCUs, AHUs, pumps, chillers, boilers, piping, valves, and dampers. The system reads sizes and specifications from drawing annotations.
Can it measure duct and pipe lengths from drawings?
Yes. The AI traces duct runs and piping routes, calculating linear footage by size and type. Fittings (elbows, tees, transitions) are counted at route intersections and direction changes.
How does it handle reflected ceiling plans?
Aginera processes reflected ceiling plans alongside floor plans. Diffusers, return air grilles, and other ceiling-mounted equipment are extracted with their exact locations and specifications.
Can I separate HVAC from plumbing takeoffs?
Yes. Aginera categorizes components by discipline — HVAC, plumbing, and piping are separated automatically. You can run extractions for specific disciplines or process everything at once.
