Each time you calculate or enter a quantity, Sage Estimating (SQL) adds a pass and increments the number of passes at the bottom of the variable pane.
- In the variable pane, enter
a value for each variable and click
to calculate the
quantities for all items with formulas. - In the takeoff grid, enter
a value in each Quantity cell. You can select one or more cells and choose
a command from the shortcut menu
to obtain quantities using the calculator
Tips:
- You can change the variables and calculate another pass for the same batch of items.
- Click
to undo
the previous pass. Each click subtracts one more pass until all quantities
reach zero.
- After generating items to the estimate, you can change takeoff quantities in the spreadsheet and Detail window.
- The shortcut menu offers commands to help you specify quantities.
