Quick Takeoff command

Note: Quick Takeoff is available only when a standard database is open.

Use this command to perform takeoff directly from the spreadsheet.

  • On the ribbon, from the Takeoff group on the Takeoff tab, click Quick.
  • In classic view, select Takeoff menu > Quick Takeoff or click The Quick Takeoff button, available in classic view on the toolbar.

Quick takeoff is the fastest and easiest way to add items to an estimate. You can see the results immediately after choosing from the list of standard database items.

Tips:  

  • Using the Takeoff Order sequence makes it easier to find the items when you are entering quantities in the spreadsheet.
  • Enter Dimensions on the shortcut menu gives you the option of specifying takeoff quantities before or after sending items to the spreadsheet.
