    4. Assembly Elements

    5. Other Options An Assembly Unit of Measure (UOM) SF EA Etc An Assembly Calculation Formula A variable A formula

    6. One Dimensional Item Table

    7. Two Dimensional Item Table

    8. Item Table Constraints All values must be numeric Values must be sequential Limited Maximum Combination of Rows & Columns An Assembly Cannot Call another Assembly

    9. Formula Options Variables Functions Formulas Formula Tables

    10. Formula Creation

    11. Variables

    12. A Sample Formula with all Functions

    13. Formula Tables Are Similar to Item Tables One Dimensional Two Dimensional Can Use Formulas, Variables, or other Formula Tables Returns Numeric Values Only Creativity Required Very Powerful tool

    14. Formula Table

    15. Formula Table in Action

    16. Why the effort Reduced Errors Miscellaneous accessories/connectors selected based on previous selection Increased Accuracy Decreased Takeoff Time Easily Changed More Details

    17. Reduced Errors Prompts Select Items Tables base on Construction Parameters Include an item that can be calculated on this pass Select from brand or style options Warnings Invalid entry or selection provides warnings

    18. Reduced Errors

    19. Hold-down Anchor Bolts

    20. How is this Accomplished

    21. Assembly Calculations

    25. Accuracy Calculate variable dimensions Window Header Length based on Window Materials Wood Vinyl Aluminum Mull Type Single Double Triple # of Jack Studs

    26. Jack Stud Requirements Most Structural Plans have the # of Jack Studs by width by floor Create a formula table that reflects those requirements Modify as need for each project No need to constantly refer to the table Creates a basis for conceptual estimates

    27. Jack Studs By Width & Floor

    28. Header Length

    29. Material Length Required
