Panel Tools in Sheets & Models
The following Sheets & Models panel tools can help you locate the files you want to use for takeoff in a given takeoff package:
- Filters – Locate sheets and models for takeoff by filtering by tag, version set (for 2D sheets), document type, or files with takeoffs.
- Search – Search the list of sheets and models by name or title.
- Sort – Sort the list by name or title or date modified.
- Bookmark – Bookmark a file within a takeoff package by clicking the bookmark icon in the panel list. Bookmarking moves the file toward the top of the list for that takeoff package.
