Create Catalog Items from Takeoff (Legacy Misc Item)

Legacy Sheetmetal had a question mark ( ? ) item in the Accessory File that allowed the user to create any item on the fly. QuoteSoft Duct has a similar feature using the Catalog.

  • Click the Central Data Button to access the setup screens
  • Expand the Catalog and Category where the Group is to be created
  • Click New Group and input a Group Name such as Miscellaneous Group
  • Check to allow Labor and Item Cost
  • Save the Group

Creating an Item on-the-fly in Takeoff
