## Takeoff

|
> [!tip] Preparing for Unit Takeoff
|
|
> Units generally have very little variation.
|
|
> It is usually best to copy-paste takeoffs
|
|
> rather than re-build them for each unit.

|
> [!tip]
|
|
> It may be more efficient and neat to not copy switches,
|
|
> instead keeping the switch assembly list open
|
|
> and creating them new for each unit,
|
|
> since the types required can vary greatly between units.
|
|
|
|
> [!tip]
|
|
> Consider using a "Typical - All Units"
|
|
