Electrical track
Device counts, conduit runs, and typical floors.
New here? Start with The Basics first — this track assumes it.
Organize device counts by panel, multiply typical floors instead of recounting them, and keep both hands moving through a full electrical takeoff.
1
Keeping a dense takeoff organized
Groups with subtotals, page filters, search, and mark-appearance settings — how a sheet with hundreds of marks stays readable and auditable.
2
Scale zones and multiply zones
Handle multi-scale sheets and repeated areas — give a region its own scale, or multiply everything inside a boundary so typical floors and units count correctly.
3
Doing an electrical takeoff
Count devices and fixtures, measure conduit and homeruns with drops for risers, and multiply typical floors — electrical estimating straight off the plan PDF.
4
Working faster with the keyboard
Tool hotkeys, the visual Keyboard Map, Quick Keys for your counters and line types, and 45° snap — how experienced estimators keep both hands moving.
