[. . . ] Then print the results, export to Microsoft® Excel® software, or publish to DWFTM file format. Stay Digital More consistent productivity depends on up-todate drawings and data. Autodesk Quantity Takeoff reporting tools helps enable users to create digital, detailed materials reports much faster than paperbased processes. [. . . ] Spot the Difference If you are working with DWF files, you can use the Sheet Compare function to compare 2D sheets from your current takeoff project with an internal or external sheet. Then you can more quickly generate a list of modifications and view a visual representation of the differences. Quantify More Quickly Now you can count and quantify all of your project design data more quickly and easily. Use unlimited component subassemblies to categorize and count materials to an infinite level of detail. Use the Search Takeoff function to help expedite takeoff of similar intelligent drawing objects. Organize them in the component catalog, then more quickly analyze your results in the dynamic Autodesk Quantity Takeoff Workbook. Maintain a Dynamic Document of Record The Autodesk Quantity Takeoff Workbook helps enable cost estimators to compile, update, and interact with quantity-related project data. In the workbook, you can switch between a cost summary view and a detailed object view for any item. Add and edit item and assembly formulas, and define item properties, directly in the Workbook, using Auto Fill and other tools that function like those in Microsoft Excel. All contents can be saved for a comprehensive document of record at project's end. With the help of Autodesk Quantity Takeoff software, cost estimators can collect and quantify multiformat design data and highquality images, and utilize property data to automatically or manually measure, count, and price various building objects. Do It Yourself Autodesk Quantity Takeoff now has more powerful manual takeoff capabilities that support the takeoff of JPG, TIF, PDF, and other "nonintelligent" image formats. Use multiple line segments, arcs, or a combination of line and arc segments when tracing geometry on a floor plan. Specify whether to treat a series of continuously drawn segments as a single takeoff measurement or as individual takeoff measurements. More rapidly perform area We have so much more confidence in the prices we relay to owners and other stakeholders. With Quantity Takeoff, we know the numbers are right. --Ken Deemer Lead Estimator Saunders Construction Learn More or Purchase Access specialists worldwide who can provide product expertise, a deep understanding of your industry, and value that extends beyond your software purchase.
