Model Takeoff command

Note: This feature is available only if you have a license to use Model Estimating.

Use this command to choose a model for takeoff.

  • On the ribbon, from the Takeoff group on the Takeoff tab, click Model.
  • If you are using classic view, click Takeoff > Model Takeoff.

The command opens the Model Takeoff window where you select the model to work with.

You can choose between models stored in the standard database or in the estimate.

  • To begin taking off a model, select a model from the standard database.
  • To review a model in progress or change a model you have already generated to the spreadsheet, select the model from the estimate.

Tip: A standard database must be open to take off a model or make changes to a model already generated to the spreadsheet.
