You can take off everything for a structural element at once using model takeoff. A model includes a complete set of items and assemblies for a structural element. It can also include the logic to feed the proper values into its items and assemblies as well as text and image features that help explain, clarify, and enhance takeoff accuracy.

  1. Opening the Model Takeoff window.

    • In Ribbon view, click An image of the Assembly Takeoff icon on the ribbon.
    • In classic view, click An image of the Model Takeoff button in Classic view.
  2. Double-clicking the model you want to take off.
  3. Completing an interview by answering questions, verifying default values, and entering missing values.
  4. Sending the model to the spreadsheet.
