Exercise 7.3.3: Creating a Detailed Quantity Takeoff
In this exercise, students will learn how to: Transfer a Revit project model to Autodesk® Quantity Takeoff using the DWF file format. Choose which model elements to takeoff and quantify. Extract quantities from 2D views and the 3D project...
-
Exercise 7.3.2: Using Preliminary Cost Estimates to Inform Design
In this exercise, students will learn how to: Convert the surfaces of a conceptual mass model into wall, floor, and roof building elements. Create schedules and material takeoffs to tabulate key quantities of building elements. Add parameters...
