Takeoff
The Frame Takeoff provides a listing of the weight of steel frame members for each floor as well as a total for the structure. The frequency of each member size and the corresponding cumulative length and weight is furnished for every floor type in the model. The values for the different floor types are then combined to give a listing for the entire structure. Listings are separated by the grades of steel used. This report only includes those members that have been specified as Lateral members; it does not include Gravity columns and beams.
