1. Using Quantity Takeoff and Linked Models in Revit to Estimate a Project as the Design Changes
Kevin R. Miller, Brigham Young University Scott Davis & TJ Vadney Autodesk

2. Class Summary
This class demonstrates how to use Autodesk Quantity Takeoff software to estimate a project during early design. You will learn how to take advantage of intelligent model-linked workflows from Autodesk Revit software and how to perform estimate updates as the project design progresses.

3. Learning Objectives At the end of this class, you will be able to:
Use Quantity Takeoff to create estimates during various stages of the design
List the benefits of using Quantity Takeoff to generate estimates from revised project documents
Use Sage Estimating® to compare estimates among several design iterations

4. CR Using Autodesk® Quantity Takeoff and Linked Models in Autodesk® Revit® to Estimate a Project as the Design Changes

5. First Step
Create a new Revit file and linked other models to the new file.
Create Parts in the Linked model.
Export a DWF file to QTO.
Perform takeoff in QTO.
Export from QTO to Sage Estimating.

6. 2nd Step Alter the structural model that is linked.
Linked file is updated.
Adjust Parts in the Linked model.
Export a DWF file to QTO.
Perform takeoff in QTO.
Export from QTO to Sage Estimating.
Print comparison report in Sage Estimating.
