Custom Breakdowns (CBS) and Quantity Takeoffs (QTO) Estimated reading: 2 minutes The Quantity Takeoff module is used for calculating the quantities of individual groups of elements directly from the geometry of the 3D model. Color Coding Rules can be set in BEXEL Manager and published to BEXEL CDE to visually present elements in the viewer as a group of individual elements that a specific quantity takeoff contains. The Color-Coded Custom Breakdowns module is used to classify the elements based on certain criteria. Usually, these criteria refer to the specific property of the selected elements.
