Separating Count Takeoff

I am doing a count takeoff for doors which are the same type but they are located in different sectors. How do I separate count takeoff to be able to assign a different use group/WBS?

Tim,

Here is the workflow I show people that seems to work for most. Is this a high or low priority to break it out by "areas" (OST nomenclature).

Thank you. It makes sense.

Kyle,

I was asking on behalf of Stephen. For me it is low priority. I've just been creating a separate takeoff item i.e. F5 Spread footing 5x5x24 - Sector A, F5 Spread footing 5x5x24 - Sector B.

Tim,

Ahhh good to hear. We had a mega job in the PNW where they used areas and zones to breakout the world. I recommended they do NOt use zzTO since all the breakouts, but they made more use groups and custom sorts in zzTO and they said F you Kyle, watch us lol. They are doing it.

Kyle how are you adding the use group dropdown to your takeoffs? Seems like an easy way to save from making folders for trade packages

@Brad,

The grey folders are upgraded yellow folders......think of grey folders like structured legos to hop from tool to tool or project to project. Use grey folders!

Here is a quick overview of how we have setup our template and how to make them LINK
