There are two different context menus on the Worksheet Tab. One is shown when you click on a Condition Number, Name, etc., the other when you click on a Quantity for a Condition.

Right-click on a Condition No. or Name

Worksheet tab condition information column context menu

Provides you with options for Grouping by Type and Page and expanding/collapsing groups (covered in the next article).

Also provides options to edit Condition Properties, the Quick Bid Condition Details (when connected to Quick Bid), or even delete a Condition from the Bid.

Warning

Deleting a Condition deletes all takeoff associated with that Condition in the current Bid and cannot be undone - it is permanent and immediate. You will be prompted to confirm deleting a Condition - that confirmation cannot be turned off.

To be clear - if you delete a Condition, it and all takeoff draw with it in this bid are permanently and irretrievably deleted.

Right-click within a Quantity Column

When you click on any of the values columns, you get the additional option to set the number of decimals.

Worksheet tab Quantity column context menu

Includes the option to set the number of decimal places for each Quantity result column independently. Changing decimals on the Worksheet Tab does not change decimal place settings in the Conditions Window. Only changing the decimal settings on the Takeoff Tab affects the Conditions Window.

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.
