Resizing a piece of takeoff changes its measurement.  

Resizing Linear & Area Objects

• To resize Linear and Area (including Area Backout) objects, select the object using the Select Tool  
• The Resize handles (small boxes) display at either end of a Linear object and at each corner of an Area object

• Hover the cursor directly over the handle to bring up the Resize cursor, which looks like or depending on the orientation of the object
• When the Resize cursor displays, click on the object handle and move the cursor either in or out, up or down, depending on object orientation to resize the object
• When resizing an Area takeoff, moving and/or resizing a segment causes connected segments to adjust - this can cause unexpected changes to the shape of your Area takeoff object.

Resizing Count & Attachment Objects

Count and Attachment takeoff objects cannot be individually resized on the Image Tab because the objects are drawn as they are defined by the Condition Properties.  To resize a Count or Attachment object, the Condition Properties must be adjusted.  For example, to resize a 30" wide door Attachment open the Condition Properties dialog and change the Dimension settings.

• Changing Condition Properties changes the size for all objects taken off with this Condition.  To change the size of a single object, create a new Attachment Condition for that particular size and reassign the original takeoff object to the new Condition.  See Reassigning Takeoff Objects to a Different Condition

Remember, Attachments must fit on their parent object horizontally to be attached.  See 12.05.00 Using Attachments for more details about how Attachments fit on their Parent objects.
