Top Cons More expensive option Need to set aside time for team to learn new software	Top Cons Not a full takeoff tool; only does PDF markup & management Slow, large lag time when trying to do takeoffs Users report frequent crashes Difficult to see changes on revisions (blue and red lines only on overlays, hard to distinguish) Lack of customer support
