One-Click Area

Learn how to use Kreo's 'One-click area' tool - AI groundbreaking development in the field of artificial intelligence for construction takeoff

Andrew Markevich·September 16, 2026

The 'One-click area' tool by Kreo is an advanced artificial intelligence model capable of instantly measuring any areas or objects on drawings with a single click.

How to use the tool:

  1. To use the tool, select it from the toolbar.

  2. Ensure that "AI Turbo Boost" is enabled.

  3. Click inside the element or area you want to measure.

  4. If you're not satisfied with the measurement result, place another point in the same area. For example:

  • if you want AI to capture a larger area or an additional element, place a second point in the required area and AI will include it (positive point (1⃣)).

  • if AI has captured an extra area, place a second point inside the area you want to exclude (negative point (2⃣)).

    💡You can add as many points as needed to achieve the desired result
    ​

    📝 Note!

    If you click too far from the original point, a red area will appear on the screen indicating the area within which you can work with this measurement. This means you can only place points within a limited square area around the initial measurement.

    5. Once you've achieved the desired result, press Enter or click the 'Create' button.

AI Classification for Auto-Naming

AI Classification setting saves you time by automatically suggesting names for your measurements based on the drawing's context.

Here is how to use it:

  1. Toggle on the AI Classification setting;

  2. Measure the room and create the measurement as you normally would (by pressing Enter, double-clicking or clicking 'Create');

  3. A quick menu will instantly pop up with auto-name options. Kreo's AI shapes these suggestions by analyzing different aspects of your drawing, including:

    • Text found inside the area location

    • Legend item references

    • The visual appearance of the measured element

  4. Simply click on one of the suggested options to rename your newly created measurement instantly.
