At the bottom of the Takeoff Items Pane (Previous Article) is the Takeoff Item Pane Toolbar.
| Button | Description | Shortcut Key | What it does/How it is used... |
|---|---|---|---|
 | New Takeoff Item | Insert button | Opens the New Takeoff Item Wizard if enabled or a new blank Takeoff Item Properties dialog box. See Related Articles for more information on setting your user preferences. |
 | Edit | F2 | Opens the Takeoff Item Properties for the selected Takeoff Item (you can also double-click on a Takeoff Item in the list to open its Properties). |
 | Delete Takeoff Item | DEL or Delete | Deletes the selected Takeoff Item(s). This permanently and irreversibly deletes the selected Takeoff Item(s) and all related Takeoff objects on every Page in the current Bid drawn with that Takeoff Item(s). This action cannot be undone. |
 | Duplicate | CTRL + D | Duplicates the selected Takeoff Item(s) and assigns a different color but leaves the name the same. Be sure to update the name so you can tell the two apart. Does not duplicate any takeoff just the Takeoff Item(s). |
 | Select Objects | CTRL + T | Selects takeoff objects on the active Takeoff Window (if you have multiple open) for the selected Takeoff Item(s). If you click on a different Takeoff Window and click this button again the objects in the first window remain selected. This is a handy way to reassign takeoff on multiple Pages to a different Takeoff Item. See Related Articles for more information on Selecting and Editing Takeoff objects. |
There are numerous options available (some only available) on the Takeoff Items Pane's Context Menus discussed next.
