Autodesk Quantity Takeoff

Pros: What's great about Autodesk Quantity Take Off is the fact that you can use basically any file format to get the quantities you need for an estimate.

Cons: There isn't much that I can say that I dislike about the software. The only item that I would mention is to maybe update the interface a little.

Overall: Helps us get estimates done by using multiple file formats

Pros: It allows an estimator to visually see the model and elements that have been taken off on both the 2D sheets and 3D model.

Cons: It has some bugs and doesn't integrate well with estimating databases. It's also hard to see what has been assigned and taken off and what has not. It's also difficult to change the unit of measure of an item without going into Revit to change that assemblies parameters.

Cons: unable to AutoSave each second

Overall: Its simple method of takeoff and ample of tools makes life easy for a Quantity surveyor(2D & 3D).
