Quantification workflow

A typical workflow begins with a design file created in Autodesk^® design applications, such as AutoCAD^®, AutoCAD^® Architecture, AutoCAD^® Civil 3D, and Revit^®. Before publishing a design file, the architect, engineer, or other designer, determines which features (model, layouts, layers, properties and so on) to include in the file. After determining the content, the designer publishes the drawing and sends file to you. In some cases, designers scan or save drawings as image files and send them to you for estimation. When you receive these files, the Quantification workflow begins.

1. In Navisworks, open a design data source file
2. Open the Quantification workbook
3. Set up a project
4. Create or select takeoff items
5. Hide unwanted items
6. Use measurement tools for items not in catalog (for virtual takeoff)
7. Organize takeoff items (change item order, create new items)
8. Edit formulas/parameters
9. Refresh model after changing data
10. Analyse and validate takeoff data
11. Output takeoff data to Excel XLSX format
