Warning
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.
