The Worksheet Tab displays totals for all Conditions and is setup to allow very basic cost estimating.  You can also manually enter Condition Quantities for Conditions that have not been used to draw takeoff.  Conditions can be modified and/or deleted from the Takeoff and/or Worksheet Tabs.

The green columns are for basic cost estimating for Material, Labor, and Sub-contractor expenses.  On-Screen Takeoff uses these values and Quantity 1 to fill in the Total column.  To use a different value, change the Results specified in the Condition Properties.

 

To rearrange the columns select the column header drag the column to the desired location although if you are using the Cost columns, do not change the position of the Mat($), Labor($), Sub($), or Total($).

 

To resize a column click and hold on either side of the column header to bring up the Resizing iconand drag the edge of the column to the left or right to adjust the column's width.
