| Documents |
Every document, plan, spec sheet, published for a project for the purpose of creating an estimate. |
| Drawing (noun) |
Plan, Image, Drawing, Sheet - the visual representation of an architectural drawing on-screen for the purpose of viewing or measuring. |
| Drawing (verb) |
The action of drawing takeoff (measurements) or annotations (markups) on projects plans for the purposes of estimating or bidding. |

| Layer |
Everything in the Image or Takeoff window is stored on a layer. Layers are analogous to transparency sheets and allow a user to show/hide various objects to make the screen look less cluttered. For example, all your takeoff objects for Walls could be on a Layer and then your Floors could be on a different layer - you could show/hide whatever you need to see at the current time. |
| Multi-Condition Takeoff |
A patented method of grabbing multiple Conditions and then drawing once on the plan and the program finishes the takeoff for all selected Conditions automatically. |
| Named View |
A region on a plan you define to make it easier to view when performing takeoff. For instance, many people create Named Views for each plan Detail, this way, they can open those by clicking a "Hot Link" for quick reference. |
| Overlay |
A utility that allows a user performing takeoff to compare revisions. Overlay indicates objects that are New (blue) and Objects that were deleted (red) so the user can identify and takeoff changes quickly. |
