Folders

Organize your takeoffs into folders in the Takeoffs tab for better organization on complex drawings.

Steps

1. Click the "New Folder" button in the Takeoffs tab (left sidebar).
2. Type a name in the inline "Folder name" input and press Enter.
3. Drag takeoff rows into a folder to organize them, or use the row's hover menu: "Move to folder".
4. Click a folder header to expand or collapse it.
5. To rename a folder, double-click its name, or open the ⋮ menu on its header (or right-click it) and choose Rename. Press Enter to keep the new name or Esc to cancel.
6. To delete a folder, open the ⋮ menu on its header (or right-click it) and choose Delete. This works for subfolders such as Walls or Rooms too. Deleting a folder deletes the takeoffs in it from every sheet; a folder that has takeoffs asks you to confirm first. For a folder you created, Delete folder only removes just the folder and moves its takeoffs back to Auto Takeoffs or User Takeoffs. Undo (Cmd/Ctrl + Z) brings a deleted folder back.

Notes

• •AI results are grouped automatically under "Auto Takeoffs"; your manual work lives under "User Takeoffs". Both can be renamed, as can the groups inside Auto Takeoffs (Rooms, Walls, Glazing, Door Schedule). The Estimate worksheet uses the same names.
• •The folder's eye icon hides or shows the takeoffs listed directly in it. Grouped rows inside Auto Takeoffs (such as Rooms) have their own eye icon.
• •Takeoffs can be moved between folders by dragging.
• •Clicking the header of Auto Takeoffs, User Takeoffs or a folder you created also selects it. With no takeoff selected, pressing Delete then does the same as Delete in its menu.
