Group By Folders in Left Pane - Project Pages

Under Review

I’m looking for easier ways to break out pricing by area without having to split up my takeoffs.

Grouping by page works well because it lets us separate takeoffs logically. However, I often run into situations where I want to combine specific drawings across multiple pages into a single total. For example, pulling all Level 1 items that exist on different sheets into one combined total.

Would it be possible to create folders in the left pane and drag selected drawings into those folders to generate grouped totals? That would allow flexible area-based pricing without duplicating takeoffs.

I’m also curious about workflow options when doing counts on a page and needing to distribute the cost across multiple line items. Is there a better way to handle cost allocation in that scenario?

If anyone has an efficient workflow for this, I’d love to hear it.

Thanks.

Another idea would be a breakout management tool that we could use after completing a takeoff.

For example, allow us to define and label all breakout areas up front. Then we could select Pages, Items, or Takeoffs, right-click, and assign them to a specific breakout list.

Anything not yet assigned to a breakout would automatically be flagged as “Unsorted,” making it easy to see what still needs categorizing.
