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, an architect, engineer, or other designer, determines which features (model, layouts, layers, properties and so on) to include in the file. After determining the content, a designer publishes the drawing and shares the file with the Estimator. In some cases, designers scan or save drawings as image files and send them for estimation. When the files are received, 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
