Adding a pass

Adding a pass during assembly takeoff allows you to take off additional quantities and combine them with existing takeoff quantities. Each time you make a pass, the pass appears in the List area in takeoff order. The number of the current pass displays at the bottom of the Variable pane.

  1. In the list of passes on the Assembly Takeoff window, selectthe pass labeled, "New Pass."
  2. Move the cursor to the variable pane.
  3. Enter values for the dimensions.
  4. Click An image showing the Add Pass button.

Tip: The Sage Estimating (SQL) software automatically generates a pass to an assembly when you change the quantity of an item in the takeoff grid on the Assembly Takeoff window. A pass note identifies the item and its original amount.
