Look It Up
Export take-off
Writes three tables: the bill, one line per take-off group; the working, every step of how each quantity was reached so it can be checked by hand; and the measurements the register is showing, with the page and the scale each was taken under. Quantities are recomputed as the file is written, so nothing in it can have drifted from the drawing.

Why you would use it
A take-off that can’t leave the application isn’t a take-off. This is the last step of the job: measure, group, price, send.
For example
What to do
- Choose which tables you want.
- Export.
- Open the file in a spreadsheet.
Going further
The Working table shows every step of how each quantity was reached, in order, so the figure can be checked by hand. That’s the sheet that settles an argument.
