MAGNET CONSTRUCTION

Best practice for setting up MAGNET Office Takeoff projects is to assign data layers in the design file to Design, Existing, or Miscellaneous layer groups.

Create materials for your library to assign later within a project

Assign pre-defined project materials to areas, polylines and boundaries of interest. 

Create 3D surfaces of varying densities to model the design requirements of the job. Depending on how areas were designed and categorized, certain areas can be easily included/excluded from the calculations.

Generate a wide array of reports pertaining to project costs and volumes using MAGNET Office Takeoff

Easily and intuitively create boreholes using strata data to build a better model. 

Quickly and easily design trench networks, combining piping and structure costs, resulting in accurate system costs. 

To streamline future projects, it's best to create a default project with common settings.
