Performing one-time item takeoff

You can take off one-time items from the spreadsheet, as well as during Quick takeoff, Item takeoff, or Assembly takeoff.

To take off one-time items:

1. Open the One-time Item window:

   On the ribbon, from the Takeoff group on the Takeoff tab, click  One-Time Item.

2. Complete the fields in the window. At a minimum, you need to complete the Phase, Description, and Takeoff unit fields to  set up a one-time item:

   For more information, click on the title bar of the window, and then click a field or button.

3. (optional) Click [Go to Detail] to enter more information about the item.

4. When you finish setting up the one-time item, click [OK] in the One-time Item window.

   The one-time item appears on the spreadsheet, or in the takeoff grid if you are taking off a one-time item from the Item Takeoff window. Hyphens (----) in the Item column identify a one-time item in the estimate.
