UPDATE: If the Takeoff file has been changed (items added, quantities changed, etc.), this function finds all Takeoff changes that match the breakout you defined for the Summary during this Update procedure. For example, if the Summary was run including a breakout of Installation Codes 1, 3, and 5 and Takeoff items were modified in Installation Codes 1, 2, and 3, the Update function would update those items in Summary only for Installation Codes 1 and 3. Installation Code 2 was not included in the Summary breakout, so the Takeoff changes made to items within it, do not affect the Summary. See Updating a Summary for more information.
CANCEL: Closes the Open Summary window. The Summary display remains. Select File > Open to return to the Open Summary window or select File > Exit to exit Summary.
