This option will determine if the Size of the item will change and to which Size (based on the specific item, for example: the size of air entering vs. air exiting).
Note: The “Off” setting does not behave the same way as it did in the Net Series Takeoff. Now, the “Inlet” option updates the options with the first size of the item. The “Off” setting now disables reduce sizing: no sizes will be updated.
TAKEOFF MODE:This allows you to select between “Detailed” and “Quick.” Detailed allows you to takeoff an item normally. Quick mode allows you to takeoff an item without prompting the add/edit item window if you have the information needed for that item.
Note: If you are running Quick mode and you do not have all of the required information, you will be prompted at the appropriate time for whatever information is missing.
SINGLE LINE TAKEOFF: If checked, Single Line Takeoff is turned on.
