If Lengths are drawn on separate layers, Automatic Takeoff may be selected measuring the drawing automatically. There is a home run feature that may be used for the automatic takeoff of the data, fiber, voice, etc. cables from the outlet to the rack, either end to end or end to end squared off. Choose the number of additional to add the ends, and the drops down the wall for each length to be added.

 

 

 

Takeoff Symbols

No more manual counting of Items and Assemblies. Auto Takeoff uses Takeoff Symbols that are linked to specific Items and Assemblies. All the symbols (data/voice outlets, cable tray, racks, etc ) are identified, read, and counted. If the Items and Assemblies are already attached to the symbols, they are automatically taken off and added to the Audit Trail.

 

 

 

 

Items and Assemblies

Just pick them out of your estimating system or paste from other jobs. The CAD Estimating System uses the same Items and Assemblies used in the ABS Estimating System.
