In many cases, there is need to estimate and quote a job by layers so a job can be sold and installed by layers and different phases.

When estimate by layer, it assumes that material roll and cuts (therefore the waste cuts) are not shared between layers. Normally, the waste factor is higher.

 

Set Estimate by Layer Flag:

Switch to Project Setting Tab; check on Estimate by Layer box.

·        Estimate Each Layer: it requires to switch to each layer to estimate (to re-generate estimating data, cut sheet and cut diagram)

·        Diagram Printing: material cut list and cut sheet at each layer are printed separately by layer

·        Worksheet/Quotation/Work Order: material items and quantities grouped by layer
