Item Takeoff window

This window is used to select the items and specify the takeoff quantities needed for an estimate. The window contains a list of standard database items, a pane showing the variables from the formulas, and a grid showing the selected items. The toolbar and shortcut menu provide commands to help with the process. Sage Estimating (SQL) sends the items into the spreadsheet when you click [OK].

To open the Item Takeoff window:

  • On the ribbon, from the Takeoff group on the Takeoff tab, click Item.
  • In classic view, click TakeoffItem Takeoff or click An image of the Item Takeoff button on the toolbar in Classic view on the toolbar.

Tip: If your settings allow it, you can add a new item by selecting Add New Item. For more information, click the Help icon available on the ribbon on the toolbar, and then click a field or button.
