When users create and submit 3D takeoffs for fabrication, BCX used to generate three PDF printout views designed to fit on 8 ½” x 11”  paper.  While these worked fine for small takeoffs, they were inadequate for larger projects. To solve the problem, BCX has created a new process that allows users to load a read-only version of the takeoff, customize the on-screen view, change the font size, and re-position the take-off before downloading it as a PNG image file. Users can also move the Order Data box, containing the job name and number, in the same fashion. This process can be used to create any type of printout for any submitted assembly, making it easier for fabricators to see what is needed for the takeoff. Of course, if the shop has screens on the shop floor fabricator printouts may not be needed as fabricators can simply use the 3D Viewer. ■
