I frequently have jobs where I need to take off the same material on multiple floors or in multiple areas of a job where they are far enough apart that I need to job cost them as separate hourly labor line items. Is there a way to separate those area takeoffs but leave them nested in the same takeoff in the list for a cleaner presentation? Right now, I am creating a new area takeoff and naming it "second area" or something of that nature, but it creates a long list of messy takeoffs and requires me to do some basic math outside of the program to get to my true sqft numbers.
I think your asking about "areas" in OST, that kind of feature if I am reading it right. Yep 100% and I know they are working on something like it.
Here is a 3 min viedo that might be alighed with what you are thinking and shows a couple options for you......not good tho. LINK
