You can add up to three levels (or tiers) of Bid Areas (for example, Building > Floor > Room).

Adding Sub Areas

To create sub-areas, for example a project that includes two buildings and each building contains several floors.

Open the Bid Areas dialog box (either from the main toolbar on the Image Tab or by clicking Areas in the bid's Cover Sheet).

Add Buildings 1 and 2

ALT TEXT

Click on Building 1 in the Area Name list

Use Quick Add to add Floors 1 - 3, (when you have a Bid Area selected when Adding or Quick Adding Areas, they are indented under the selected Area automatically, you will notice that "Indent under Building 1" is checked in our example)

ALT TEXT

Repeat for Building 2, when you are done, your Bid Areas grid will look like this...

ALT TEXT

If necessary, you can go back and rename Buildings "1" and "2" to Buildings "A" and "B".

Adjusting Areas

Move areas left or right to indent or outdent by selecting the area(s) and dragging and dropping them where they need to be or use the ALT TEXT or ALT TEXT buttons.

Move areas up or down in the list by selecting the area(s) and clicking the Move UpALT TEXT and Move Down ALT TEXT buttons as desired.

To delete an area, highlight the desired Bid Area and click ALT TEXT. If you have already allocated takeoff or Typical Areas to a Bid Area, you will not be able to delete that Bid Area (you can always go back and assign the objects to a different Bid Area, then come back and delete it).
