  1. really Really REALLY REALLY not worth your time or anyone's for that matter. You need an accurate model to get an accurate takeoff. You do NOT need an accurate model to make construction documents. The delta for me is 30% time. That's significantly more expensive than having a lead framer do a takeoff for a few hours. You also need a good handful of custom macros for such things as screws and nails. This is a fruitless endeavor. Just giving you info from a seasoned power user, takeoffs will never be supplanted from a journeyman who knows what they are doing.
