    Here's my personal approach.

    1. Send to the back drawing group.
    2. Draw a Polyline or CAD box over the top, set the fill style to solid>background color, and give it a transparency
    3. Send the Polyline to the back drawing group and then Move Forward In Group

    Good idea thanks Micheal I have been struggling with problem also

    I understand CA is going to be improving their takeoff capabilities in the next release.

     

    In the meantime you might want to check out some online estimate programs. Ie.

     

    https://www.rsmeans.com/free-trial.aspx

     

    You can use some of the info from the X10 material list to help you build estimates quickly using assemblies.  RS Means uses your project location to generate costs in your area.

    improved takeoff capabilitys where did you here that

    Chief is good for 3D concept art and for interior renders, but for creating site maps it's terrible. What's a good software to use that isn't super expensive?

     

    Thanks!!

    Can you give a bit more info as chief can do 2d site plans quiet well there are good training videos about this topic  or do you mean a 3D  model of terrain ? Also what version of chief are using
