You can streamline the takeoff process by taking off assemblies. For example, instead of taking off each item that makes up a standard-sized wall, you can take off an assembly containing all the items needed to construct the wall.
Assembly takeoff involves:
-
Opening the Assembly Takeoff window.
-
On the ribbon, from the Takeoff group on the Takeoff tab, click Assembly.
-
In classic view, click Takeoff > Assembly Takeoff, or click
on the toolbar.
-
-
Double-clicking (or dragging and dropping) the assembly you want to take off.
-
Entering or calculating item takeoff quantities for the assembly.
-
Generating the items to the spreadsheet.
