Open an Existing Job in Takeoff

5 views March 26, 2026

Use this procedure to open an existing Pipeline LBM job in the Takeoff workspace. Opening a job loads its associated plan files so you can begin or continue your takeoff work.

Opening a job does not change or overwrite existing takeoff data.

Note: The job must already exist in PLBM. Follow these steps to Create a Job. Refresh the page if a recently created job does not appear immediately.

Open an Existing Job

  1. From the PLBM dashboard, select Takeoff, then choose Navigate to Takeoff.
  2. In the Takeoff workspace, select Open Job.
  3. In the Open Job dialog, locate and select the job you want to open.
  4. Select Open.

Results: The selected job opens in the Takeoff workspace. If a PDF is associated with the job, it loads automatically so you can begin working right away. If the job opens without any sheets, import a PDF into the job. If sheets are available, set the sheet scale and begin your takeoff.
