Delete is disabled when the Takeoff Tab is Grouped by Area, Zone, or Page.

This context menu provides you with options for Grouping and expanding/collapsing groups (covered in the next article).

You can also completely delete a Condition from the Bid and deletes all takeoff associated with that Condition (not available if the Takeoff Tab is grouped by Area, Zone, or Page).

Warning

This allows you to set the number of decimal places shown for this Quantity in the Takeoff Tab and the Conditions Window on the Image Tab.

Note

This affects how displayed Quantities are rounded, but does not affect any calculations. The full, calculated value is stored in the database and used for any calculations, the displayed number is rounding, only to make it easier for you to scan the values.
