Showing Decimal Places

By default, On-Screen Takeoff displays only whole numbers and rounds quantities. You can adjust the number of decimal places in your takeoff quantities to display more precise values.

NOTE: Turning decimal places off will result in a rounding to the nearest whole number - 1.13 is rounded to 1 and 1.51 is rounded to 2.

To turn the decimal places on or off, perform the following steps:

1. Click the Takeoff tab, right-click the Quantity column, select Show Decimal Places, and select the number of places from the list

2. Each Quantity column will need to be modified separately - modifying one column will only affect that Quantity number (if you modify Quantity 2 column on the Takeoff tab, only Quantity 2 results are affected in the Conditions window)

    

   

    

3. Modifying the number of Decimal Places will change the Condition window on the Images tab
