BidMagic Material Takeoff Software-- Estimating Menus

BidMagic Estimating Menus

NOTE-- We retired the BidMagic Material Takeoff Software in 2001. It has been replaced by Goldenseal Material Takeoff Software.

We still include this BidMagic estimating software manual as a convenience for users of our older program. Many features are similar, in Goldenseal estimating.

This section covers menu commands that have been added to BidMagic 1.5. They are not documented in the regular BidMagic Material Takeoff Software manual.

Choose Print Material Takeoff to print a material takeoff for the current bid. This command will print a takeoff based on the Takeoff Type setting in Preferences.

Export Material Takeoff

Choose Export Material Takeoff to save a material takeoff for the current bid as a text file. This command will export a takeoff based on the Takeoff Type setting in Preferences. You can the open and customize the text file in any spreadsheet, database, or word processor.
