Lines of dimensions (to compile TakeOff)

These lines are used to receive the different measurements of a specific TakeOff.

There are generally two types of Dimension lines used

1-Dim1   

1. The name of the line will correspond to the name of the assembly in which it will be inserted

2. This line will group under it all the DimLs relevant to the need of the variables of the assembly where it will be inserted

3. It will contain the cumulative (sum) of the variables and/or calculation results to be distributed

4. It can also contain the Net result formulas (Gross wall area - gross opening area = Net area)

5. The variables required for Ass2 and + will be transmitted to Ass1 for distribution

6. In the "Name" column of the catalogue, the description will always begin with Dim1 - (Name of Ass1)

7. In the "Classification Code" column, it will be identified by the most relevant specification section followed by D1 Ex: 03D1.

2-DimL   

1. The name of the line will correspond to a specific portion of the composition of the Ass1 of which it is part

2. This line will contain all the variables specific to its name

3. It may also contain some formulas whose results will be cumulated in Dim1 (It will contain all the formulas required for the distribution to Ass2 and +)

4. In the "Name" column of the catalogue, the description will always begin with DimL - (Name of the composition portion)

5. In the column "Classification Code", it will be identified by the most relevant section of the quotation followed by DL Ex: 03DL

6. TAKEOFF Module Option

   1. The markers generated for TAKEOFF will usually be configured in this line type.
