There is also a Search Takeoff function to organize similar intelligent drawing objects and organize them in a component catalog to more quickly analyze results. Then users can quickly generate a list of modification and view differences. Multiple features will assist in working with your documents, such as Sheet Compare for comparing 2D sheets from a current project with an internal or external sheet. There are also reporting tools that can create detailed materials reports and stay up-to-date by keeping track of changing variables. Users can also enter overrides when needed. Add and edit item and assembly formulas and define item properties using Auto Fill and other tools. Users can switch between cost summary and detailed object views or you can view information for the entire project. Maintain a dynamic document of record with Quantity Takeoff easily and efficiently due to the ability to compile, update, and interact with quantity-related project data.

This also allows for object visibility and transparency according to building section or component type. Also, users can access and examine an interactive model of their building for making material cost estimates. Through the use of building information modeling information and both 2D and 3D data, a takeoff can be performed in just a few minutes. Quantity Takeoff 2013, provided here as an electronic download from Autodesk, assists cost estimators keeping their data accurate and up-to-date by bringing together design data, high-quality images, and information from design applications, such as AutoCAD, Revit Architecture, and AutoCAD Civil 3D, as well as other CAD data and image formats.
