The 4.0.6 Release included Improvements and Bug fixes. The purpose of this release is to continue the development and provide product replacement for Legacy Sheetmetal and Fabshop products.
Improvements
Overrides 1. Overrides to Labor and Material Costs in Takeoff
...
- Added a button to the Item Details palette in Takeoff
- This will allow users to override the Fab, Install, Other labor hours as well as the Material Cost and Grand Total
- The overridden fields will be highlighted yellow in Takeoff
...
2. Birdscreen End Cap
User Guide article on Birdscreen End Cap
- Added a new material type to the program for the Birdscreen material called Cost by Sqft. You can find this in Central Data - Setups - Data File - Materials
- The Cost by Sqft Material is then assigned within the Pressure File on the Materials page near the Flex Connector material selector
- Takeoff will show the Cost by Sqft material in Item Details
3. Rectangular Sleeve Fitting
...
- Added the ability to select Retaining Angles for the Sleeve Fitting to the Item view within the pressure file
- Retaining Angles are pulled from Central Data - Setups - Data File - Reinforcements - Angles
- This choice was made so users are not required to have multiple angles setup within the program
- Added an allowance field for Retaining Angles to the Sleeve Item setup in Item Options
- Added a Retaining Angle selector to Takeoff Item Details palette to display the Angles being used on the Sleeve Fitting
4. Pounds Per Hour Setup
- Pounds per hour (PPH) is a labor setup within QuoteSoft Duct.

- Takeoff displays PPH Factor used
5. Setup Catalog Items by Width + Height
User Guide article about W+H Catalog Items
- Added additional Group Setup options for W+H in the Catalog
- Takeoff will add the width and height to select the correct labor and material costs
6. This setup style requires the user to decide what is included within their PPH Fabrication and Installation factors.
* - implement pound per hour (PPH) setup
* - some items should not be included in the Pounds Per Hour feature
* - store Add Catalog Item from Takeoff
User Guide article for Catalog Item From Takeoff
- Added the ability to add a catalog item on the fly like Legacy Sheetmetal Miscellaneous ( ? ) item
