Using formulas to calculate item takeoff quantities (Assembly takeoff)

1. In the variable pane, enter a value for each variable.
2. Click .
   • If the assembly contains a select-at-takeoff item, the Item List displays so you can select the appropriate item for the assembly.
   • If the assembly contains an item table, Sage Estimating inserts the appropriate item from the table into the takeoff grid based on the values you entered for the variables used by the table.

     Sage Estimating uses the formula calculation assigned to the assembly to calculate the quantity for the entire assembly. It uses the formula or factor calculation assigned to each item to calculate the item takeoff quantities and then displays them in the Quantity column (inside the takeoff grid).
