Simply upload your plans, choose your preferred takeoff structure, and start measuring. Costbook items can be assigned directly to your measurements, giving you up-to-date cost data and resulting in the most accurate estimates possible.  \n2 Choose the Takeoff Structure  \nIf the project already has an estimate, it’s recommended to use its Category > Subcategory structure. You can also start from a takeoff template or from scratch.  \n3 Choose the Category > Subcategory to Begin Taking Off  \nThe takeoff structure is shown in the right sidebar-it will always be in the Category > Subcategory format in order to match the project estimate structure. Takeoffs can only be created in the Subcategory level.  \nChoose a Category Choose a Subcategory Start a New Takeoff  \n4 Choose the Measurement Type, Shape Tool, Color and More  \nRedline Takeoff offers a variety of measurement tools to handle different types of takeoffs. For example if you are doing a flooring takeoff, you would choose the Area Type anda shape tool (90° Polygon, Rectangle, Ellipse, Polygon or Freehand).  \nMeasurement Type & Shape Color  \nSelected Shape Type for the Takeoff  \nTakeoff Name, Description and Category > Subcategory Destination  \n5 Assign Costbook Items to the Takeoff  \nQuickly determine quantities and costs needed for your takeoffs by assigning Costbook Items. Please note the Unit of Measure for the assigned items must match the takeoff type you are performing-for example, you could assign a wood flooring material item to an area takeoff, since the item’s UOM is square feet.  \n6 Set the Calibration for the Sheet  \nBefore starting your first measurement, you must set the calibration for the sheet. It’s recommended to measure a known distance on your sheet for the most accurate results. You can also choose a standard scale if the manual measurement method is not possible.  \nMeasure a known distance Enter the distance values  \n7 Start Measuring  \nCreate a measurement shape for your takeoff. To add additional shapes, click the green plus icon in the right sidebar and choose “Add Measurements.” When you are done measuring, click the “Finish Measuring” button.  \n8 Sending Takeoff Data to the Estimate  \nWhen you are ready to send your takeoff data to the project estimate, simply click the “Send to Estimate”button in the toolbar. You can choose to aggregate any identical costbook items, or show them as separate line items within their respective estimate subcategories.  \nEstimate Subcategory with Items from Takeoff  \nClick on the icon to go directly to the related takeoff for the item  \nEstimate Takeoff Summary Sheet  \nTakeoff items are inserted in the estimate, along with any waste values.  \nClick on the Takeoffs tab in the estimate to see a summary of takeoff information, including the most recent import time, related plan sheets, and primary measurement values.  \nRedline Takeoff Keyboard Shortcuts  \n\n| Pan sheet up |  | \u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>Ctrl | | \u003Cbr>|\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Pan sheet down |  | \u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>Ctrl | | \u003Cbr>|\n| Pan sheet left |  | \u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>Ctrl | | \u003Cbr>|\n| Pan sheet right |  | \u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>Ctrl | | \u003Cbr>|\n| Copy selected measurement shape |  | \u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>Ctrl | | \u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>C |\n| Paste copied measurement shape |  | \u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>Ctrl | | \u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>V |\n| Cut selected measurement shape |  | \u003Cbr>Ctrl | | \u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>X |\n| Manually save any unsaved changes |  | \u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>Ctrl | | \u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>S |\n| Undo |  | \u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>Ctrl | | \u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>Z |\n| Redo |  | \u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>Ctrl | |  Y  or  Ctrl    Shift    Z  |\n| Finish the current takeoff | \u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>Esc |  |  |  |","cbCaij30Z4N2QySx","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaij30Z4N2QySx","pdf",3600957,6,"English","# Getting Started\n## Choose the Takeoff Structure\n## Choose Category > Subcategory\n## Choose Measurement Type and Shape Tools\n## Assign Costbook Items\n## Set Calibration for the Sheet\n## Start Measuring\n## Send Takeoff Data to the Estimate\n## Keyboard Shortcuts","[{\"question\":\"How do you choose a takeoff structure in Redline Takeoff?\",\"answer\":\"If an estimate already exists, use its Category \\u003e Subcategory structure.
