Quick Measure lets you capture linear, area, or count measurements from plans and apply them to multiple products. It works as a flexible, one-time Key Measure, with no setup required—ideal for fast takeoffs and complex assemblies without interrupting your workflow. The Quick Measure feature works in a similar way across all takeoff types—whether you are using Count, Linear, or Area functions.

Turn on the Quick Measure functionality:

1. Select the Quick Measure button at the top of the Takeoff Module screen, then select either Count, Linear or Area. The Quick Measure Properties dialog box will open.
2. Name your Quick Measure and select the color, then select Apply to start the Count.
3. Left click on the items. When you’re done, select the Stop Recording button or press R on the keyboard to apply the Quick Measure.
4. In the Quick Measures section on the righ tof the screen, you’ll see the newly created Count Quick Measure.
5. Select the ellipsis (…) next to the Quick Measure to assign it to a Key Measure or a Product.

You have now added your key measure to the sheet.
