By following these steps, you'll efficiently turn takeoff measurements into actionable estimates, whether it's for a single item or multiple results with linked quantities.   Step 1: Identify the Measurement Result Look at the measurement results from your takeoff. For example, in this walkthrough, you'll see a "Schluter Cove Base" measurement, which represents a single linear foot.   Step 2: Send a Single Measurement to the Estimate Right-click on the specific measurement result you want to add.![](https://usercontent.us.prod.clueso.io/cb1eec54-ce60-4478-88c6-e890ec0f0a12/9f1d189d-9140-4a1c-90ee-e1b34fbe4341/9bec6d0a-a612-45d7-8ba7-2cebe45145aa/images/1fcc0867-db62-4b2a-a067-104fa3ccb9d1.png)   Select **Add to estimate** from the context menu. ![](https://usercontent.us.prod.clueso.io/cb1eec54-ce60-4478-88c6-e890ec0f0a12/9f1d189d-9140-4a1c-90ee-e1b34fbe4341/9bec6d0a-a612-45d7-8ba7-2cebe45145aa/images/d060836b-6fd5-4de2-9d14-b47775e99baf.png)   Step 3: Choose the Estimate page where this result should go. ![](https://usercontent.us.prod.clueso.io/cb1eec54-ce60-4478-88c6-e890ec0f0a12/9f1d189d-9140-4a1c-90ee-e1b34fbe4341/9bec6d0a-a612-45d7-8ba7-2cebe45145aa/images/16dafc96-0260-4df0-aa23-709c3544972c.png)   Click **Add** to confirm and send the result to your estimate. ![](https://usercontent.us.prod.clueso.io/cb1eec54-ce60-4478-88c6-e890ec0f0a12/9f1d189d-9140-4a1c-90ee-e1b34fbe4341/9bec6d0a-a612-45d7-8ba7-2cebe45145aa/images/5ae23395-4dfe-43b8-96cb-9e24108645ec.png)   Step 4: Review the Created Cost Item   If the measurement includes a single quantity—such as a linear foot count—the system creates a cost item for that quantity. In this example, with a rate of $4 per linear foot and a measured quantity, your estimate shows the total (e.g., $138.96).![](https://usercontent.us.prod.clueso.io/cb1eec54-ce60-4478-88c6-e890ec0f0a12/9f1d189d-9140-4a1c-90ee-e1b34fbe4341/9bec6d0a-a612-45d7-8ba7-2cebe45145aa/images/0e95259a-7920-4333-bd37-1ecfb4fa947b.png)![](https://usercontent.us.prod.clueso.io/cb1eec54-ce60-4478-88c6-e890ec0f0a12/9f1d189d-9140-4a1c-90ee-e1b34fbe4341/9bec6d0a-a612-45d7-8ba7-2cebe45145aa/images/3dbf780c-91bb-4db1-8ab7-7450443a46a2.png)![](https://usercontent.us.prod.clueso.io/cb1eec54-ce60-4478-88c6-e890ec0f0a12/9f1d189d-9140-4a1c-90ee-e1b34fbe4341/9bec6d0a-a612-45d7-8ba7-2cebe45145aa/images/0347b853-e8a1-42c2-bcbb-9898b614e212.png)   Step 5: Export Multiple Items Simultaneously To export several measurement results at once, select multiple items or use **Select All**.![](https://usercontent.us.prod.clueso.io/cb1eec54-ce60-4478-88c6-e890ec0f0a12/9f1d189d-9140-4a1c-90ee-e1b34fbe4341/9bec6d0a-a612-45d7-8ba7-2cebe45145aa/images/cf500822-086f-45ba-8c54-85f1533c7c80.png)   Click **Add to estimate** to send all chosen results together. ![](https://usercontent.us.prod.clueso.io/cb1eec54-ce60-4478-88c6-e890ec0f0a12/9f1d189d-9140-4a1c-90ee-e1b34fbe4341/9bec6d0a-a612-45d7-8ba7-2cebe45145aa/images/c4d62aae-8a53-4cc8-8c48-53c1f624768b.png) Step 6: Export Measurements With Multiple Results   Now move to a more complex result, such as the "light gauge metal wall area" measurement.![](https://usercontent.us.prod.clueso.io/cb1eec54-ce60-4478-88c6-e890ec0f0a12/9f1d189d-9140-4a1c-90ee-e1b34fbe4341/9bec6d0a-a612-45d7-8ba7-2cebe45145aa/images/2c1861e3-9ac8-4a1d-8ad8-e0b1f8273664.png)![](https://usercontent.us.prod.clueso.io/cb1eec54-ce60-4478-88c6-e890ec0f0a12/9f1d189d-9140-4a1c-90ee-e1b34fbe4341/9bec6d0a-a612-45d7-8ba7-2cebe45145aa/images/d4853fed-d799-4796-a444-5d61ba981543.png) This measurement includes several types of results: square footage, metal stud count, and drywall sheet count.   **NOTE:** When exporting this, the system generates one cost item per result within your estimate.   Step 7: Add Multiple-Result Measurement to Estimate Right-click the multi-result measurement.![](https://usercontent.us.prod.clueso.io/cb1eec54-ce60-4478-88c6-e890ec0f0a12/9f1d189d-9140-4a1c-90ee-e1b34fbe4341/9bec6d0a-a612-45d7-8ba7-2cebe45145aa/images/9579dd96-6e3f-4999-a847-8c38e83c1c7d.png)   Select **Add to estimate**. ![](https://usercontent.us.prod.clueso.io/cb1eec54-ce60-4478-88c6-e890ec0f0a12/9f1d189d-9140-4a1c-90ee-e1b34fbe4341/9bec6d0a-a612-45d7-8ba7-2cebe45145aa/images/cd0ad573-7646-495f-afd3-368746ef4e82.png)   Choose your estimate's destination page. ![](https://usercontent.us.prod.clueso.io/cb1eec54-ce60-4478-88c6-e890ec0f0a12/9f1d189d-9140-4a1c-90ee-e1b34fbe4341/9bec6d0a-a612-45d7-8ba7-2cebe45145aa/images/66689bcb-c9e6-47aa-8bfd-3c996657bf89.png)![](https://usercontent.us.prod.clueso.io/cb1eec54-ce60-4478-88c6-e890ec0f0a12/9f1d189d-9140-4a1c-90ee-e1b34fbe4341/9bec6d0a-a612-45d7-8ba7-2cebe45145aa/images/a4dc0a19-00a9-4428-aa65-56bfc0e2a668.png)   Click **Add** to complete the action. ![](https://usercontent.us.prod.clueso.io/cb1eec54-ce60-4478-88c6-e890ec0f0a12/9f1d189d-9140-4a1c-90ee-e1b34fbe4341/9bec6d0a-a612-45d7-8ba7-2cebe45145aa/images/102fbb2f-779f-42a5-8cb1-aa6828a450b9.png)   Step 8: On the estimate page, confirm the new cost items—these correspond to each result in your measurement.
