> StoMTO is browser plan takeoff for construction and hardscape estimators. Open PDF, images, TIFF, or DXF; calibrate scale; measure by trade layer; expand assemblies to materials (joint/pack maths); export CSV, XLSX, stamped PNG/PDF, DXF markup, or Hub-shaped quote pack download. Files stay in the user's folder — StoMTO does not host drawings as a drive product.
