Exporting & Printing
Export your drawing with its visible takeoff overlays as a multi-page PDF, print selected sheets to a PDF, or export quantities to Excel. Estimate proposals are exported separately, from Export Proposal in the Summary view of the Estimates tab (PDF, Excel, or CSV).
Steps
- PDF: click the download icon in the toolbar ("Export PDF (all sheets)"). Each sheet is rendered with its overlays and the PDF downloads when it is ready. A set of more than 100 sheets downloads as several files of up to 100 sheets each, named by part and by the first and last sheet in that file (for example "part 2, A-201 to M-104"). If your browser asks whether this site may download multiple files, choose Allow so every part is saved.
- Print: click the print icon to download a PDF of the current sheet. Choose whether to include takeoffs and annotations, and color or grayscale. To print several sheets, check them in the Overview and click Print there.
- Excel: click the spreadsheet icon ("Export to Excel") to download a formatted .xlsx of your takeoff quantities, grouped by type (Areas, Linear, Counts, and Volume) with a subtotal for each group and totals for the whole drawing set.
Notes
- •Hidden takeoffs (toggled off with the eye icon) and hidden sheets are left out of Export PDF (all sheets). To include a hidden sheet, unhide it in the Overview first.
- •Print takes up to 100 sheets at a time. For a larger set, use Export PDF, which splits it into files for you.
- •The Excel export includes every takeoff, hidden or not, and is disabled when the project has no takeoffs yet.
