This allows you to draw on your project sheets to create takeoff objects, make use of our AI features, and inspect takeoff object metadata. Access the takeoff view of a project by clicking on a Project in the Projects page, then clicking on the greenTakeoff button. You will also be automatically routed to the Takeoff View upon creating a project
Takeoff Object

The Inspector is the section along the bottom of the Takeoff View that lets you set all kinds of metadata related to your Takeoff Objects.
Part
A Part is an item in your Part Library, found atDashboard > Library > Parts . A Part is used to resolve generic takeoff objects in your Takeoff view to a specific Part in your library, allowing you to drive accurate estimates from your takeoff that links to real-world items and costs. Read more about Parts here.
Assembly
Assemblies are groups of Takeoff objects that you can define into reusable bundles. If a specific group of takeoff objects keeps occuring into your plan, convert it into an assembly for faster takeoff. Read more about Assemblies here.Page/Sheet
