Can I work out screed volume from a plan?

Yes. Measure the floor area with the Area tool, then multiply by the screed depth to get the volume of material to order.

Can I keep wet areas and set-downs separate?

Yes. Put them on their own layers so each area and depth is priced on its own.

Do I need to print the plans?

No. Upload the PDF and measure on screen, with nothing to install.
