2. 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.

Kitchen and Bath
General assemblies
Low Voltage
Lighting Fixtures
Lighting Control

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.
