I demonstrate how to submit a bid set, perform automated takeoffs, and make necessary adjustments to beam lengths and types. I also highlight the importance of checking calibration and tracking weights, which can save you significant time—potentially up to 10 hours for a full framing plan. I encourage you to explore the learning section for more detailed guidance and to utilize the export feature for your takeoff lists. Please feel free to reach out with any questions as you navigate the platform.
