Exporting takeoffs to files

Note: This functionality is available only if you have the Estimating Module.

Consider the following points before exporting takeoffs to files:

• You can make a file containing most of the assemblies and parts necessary, or you can make one containing a simple outline.
• Instead of using an existing takeoff, you can create a new takeoff for the file.

To export a takeoff to a file:

1. In the Sage 100 Contractor main menu tree, double-click 9-5 Takeoffs.
2. In the Takeoff Launch window, double-click a job to start a takeoff.
3. For each grid:
   1. Delete any unwanted assemblies or parts.
   2. Delete any unnecessary values for variables.
   3. Delete any unnecessary quantities.

4. On the Export menu, click Takeoff File.

   The Save File window opens.

5. Name the file, and then click Save.
