When a worksheet is initially created from a drawing takeoff, it is normal for preview images to not be assigned. The steps below can be used to quickly update and assign a preview image to your line items.
- From the Worksheet tab, select Update Preview Images...
- In the Update Preview Images dialog, click the Update All button.
- The program will now assign an appropriate preview image to your line items.
Note: Only items found in an installed manufacturers catalog that contain a 3D graphic will be assigned a preview image. Items such as electrical components, connectors, or other small items may not have a 3D image and therefore will not be assigned a preview image. Specials or non-standard items will also not be assigned a preview image in this manner as they are not items from an installed catalog. In these cases, you can manually assign your own preview image to any line items if needed. Please refer to the following article for more information on manually assigning a custom preview image to a line item.
