Objective

To lock or unlock a takeoff layer to prevent or allow edits.

Background

When creating takeoff layers, you can lock layers that you have finished or are not using. When locked, you cannot create or edit measurements for the takeoff layer. This allows you to indicate which measurements are complete and prevents accidentally moving measurements in different layers when working on the same drawing. You can unlock layers to make changes at any time.

Things to Consider

Steps

  1. Navigate to the project's Estimating tool.
    OR
    Navigate to the company's Bid Board tool and select a project.
  2. Click the Takeoffs tab.
  3. Hover over the takeoff layer you want to lock or unlock.
  4. Click the open lock icon-unlock.png icon to lock layer.
    OR 
    Click the closed lock icon-lock.png icon to unlock the layer.
