Re-uploading Your Takeoff

Why items are marked as exported

Once you upload takeoff quantities using either import method, Ensign X marks those items as exported. This prevents you from accidentally re-importing the same data. It also means you can safely import any additional items that were missed the first time around without duplicating what has already been sent.

Re-importing your takeoff

There are two ways to change the import status of items so they can be re-uploaded: manually unticking individual items, or using the CLR GRID button to reset items in bulk.

Method 1 — Manually untick items in the Examine Grid

This method is best when you only need to re-import a small number of specific items.

1. 1

   Open the drawing in the PDF Takeoff screen and scroll down to the Examine Grid at the bottom.

2. 2

   Locate the Exported column. Each previously exported item will have a ticked checkbox.

3. 3

   Untick the checkbox for any item you want to re-import.

Method 2 — Use the CLR GRID button

Use this method when you need to re-import entire colours, services, or all items at once.

1. 1

   On the top toolbar of the PDF Takeoff screen, click the CLR GRID button.

1. 1

   In the Select Services dialogue that appears, tick the colours or services you want to re-import, then click Confirm.
