Using Cap Standards makes placing furniture in your drawing much easier and more accurate. Once your layout is complete, you will want to make a final count from the drawing. There are three ways to count a drawing using Cap Standards and Cap Parts:
-
Simple Take Off - disables the standards and boundaries to create a total list of products using Worksheet.
-
Standards Take Off - includes Cap Standards in the Worksheet.
-
Bounds Take Off - divide the layout into areas or departments called Cap Bounds. This is often useful if the client needs to order the furniture in phases or wants to charge a department for the furniture expense.
