Typical Groups Context Menu
The Context Menu provides access to two options that are not available on the Toolbar.

| Option | What it does/How it is used... |
|---|---|
| Hide Takeoff at Marker | When you place a Typical Group Marker in the Takeoff Window the program typically adds a representation of the takeoff inside the Typical Group Frame where the Marker is placed. This has no effect on calculations or results just what you see at the point where you are placing Typical Group Markers. |
| Assign to Layer > | Assigns the Markers to a custom Layer. The Typical Group Frame is always assigned to the Typical Groups Layer (that cannot be changed) and the takeoff inside the Typical Group Frame can be assigned to any number of Layers. Hiding the Layer on which the Typical Group (the Markers...) is assigned hides everything at the point where a Marker is placed including the takeoff. |
