Building an online takeoff can sometimes mean moving a lot of fittings around in a tight space to accommodate jobsite or blueprint requirements. During the process of moving these fittings they may become disconnected or “unsnapped,” which means they have to be reconnected, taking up valuable time. When they are moving around multiple fittings, users can avoid problems by simply using the Group tool. To create a Group, use the Select tool in the menu bar to grab an item, then hold down the Control button and click on the fittings you want to group. Once they are all selected, hit the Group button on the right menu. Now this group of fittings can be moved around on the canvas just like a single fitting.
