Create quantity takeoff criteria as the first step in analyzing sectional material volumes.
After you create a quantity takeoff criteria, you can apply it to a sample line group to create a material list. You use the material list to generate quantity takeoff tables and reports.

Topics in this section
- Creating Quantity Takeoff Criteria
Create quantity takeoff criteria in preparation for generating quantity takeoff tables or reports.
- Generating Material Lists
Use the Compute Materials command to generate a material list for a sample line group.
- Defining Gaps and Pockets of Materials
In situations where volume computation should not occur, you can define gaps in the materials.
- Calculating Volumes for Overlapping Materials or Overhangs
You can accomodate complex volume situations by defining subcriteria.
