Module overview

This series of exercises introduce students to quantification projects for estimating in Autodesk Takeoff using 2D sheets and 3D models. The datasets used in the exercises include Revit files and other supporting files (in both imperial and metric units), with instruction on working in a classroom environment administered by the teacher*. 

Teaching supplements for teachers include a getting started guide to Autodesk Construction Cloud and an answer key to the student exercises and quiz questions.

*Note that if you are not in a classroom environment, you can still follow along with the included datasets in the module downloads section.

Learning objectives

  • Navigate, view, and evaluate 3D models.
  • Work with 2D sheet sets and determine measurements.
  • Add markups and text to communicate design errors.
  • Create and resolve issues in a project.
  • Create a takeoff package.
  • Create takeoff types on 2D sheets.
  • Create takeoff types on 3D models.

Teaching supplements

These exercises are intended to be administrated by a teacher in a classroom setting. The Teaching Supplements resources include:

  • 1 Quick Start Guide to assist you in the setup process of Autodesk Construction Cloud in the classroom. The instructions included in this guide give you step-by-step directions for setting up a project and inviting students as members of the project. You’ll create project folders for the dataset files that are included in the module downloads for students to use in the exercises. There are instructions in the guide for administering the exercises.
  • 7 PDFs that contain fillable form fields of the student exercises so that students can type in and submit answers easily.
  • 1 answer key to the exercises and quiz questions.

Hyperlinks are included throughout the Quick Start Guide to Docs and Takeoff workflows for you to explore and learn more on the topics and skills that students will practice in the exercises.
