After Takeoff Boost returns results to On-Screen Takeoff, you:
- Review them and determine what you want to keep and what you can delete
- Identify which Auto Takeoff/Boost Conditions you need to rename and move out of the Auto Takeoff/Boost folder,
- Create Conditions and Reassign takeoff to account for different linears and areas,
- Making Adjustments and Corrections to the Auto Takeoff/Boost takeoff so it matches your Plan, (previous article)
- Figure out what you need to takeoff manually, (this article)
Assess Manual Takeoff Needs
Although Auto Takeoff/Boost is amazing, there will be times you'll need to fill-in the gaps. For example, at this time, Auto Takeoff/Boost does not takeoff floors (although it takes off Net Areas which can be reassigned to your floor Conditions), and it takes off windows and doors as Count objects, rather than Attachments. It also doesn't takeoff fixtures such as ceiling lights or vents (Acoustical Ceiling), so you would have to take off those items manually.
Remember, you can:
- Use the Conditions that Auto Takeoff/Takeoff Boost creates to draw takeoff that it missed
- Create your own Conditions from scratch
- Duplicate existing Conditions
whatever is the best, fastest, easiest way for your to complete your takeoff.
Creating Conditions
- Creating Linear Conditions (to measure walls, electrical or plumbing runs, etc.)
- Creating Area Conditions (to measure surface areas such as ceilings, floors, slabs, etc.)
- Creating Count Conditions
- Creating Attachment Conditions
Drawing Takeoff Manually
- Multi-Condition Takeoff (patented)
- Drawing Linear Takeoff
- Drawing Area Takeoff
- Drawing Count Takeoff
- Drawing Attachment Takeoff
