8. Items “salmon” in color indicate that there is additional information required. This information includes, size, gauge, color, etc.
9. Select the “+” sign on the left side of each item and complete the required field using the drop-down menu.
10. Many of the items may remain “salmon” in color. This is because there is still additional information needed.
11. Select a manufacturer for each item.
Note:Please select *Faith Standard* from the Manufacturer drop-down list (if available), unless a specific manufacturer is required. This is our Faith Standard.
12. Use “Variables” to allow the job assembly to have flexibility.
Select the “Variables” tab in the upper right panel.
In the Name column, select a “Global Variable” from the drop-down list.
Example: Conduit Size
From the drop-down list, select “Conduit Size”.
Uncheck the “Prompt Quantity at Takeoff” checkbox:
Add additional Global Variables:
Length
Count
Select [Measure] in the Length “Audit Trial” column.
Select [Count] in the Count “Audit Trail column.
Apply these Global Variables to the job assembly Folder/Item.
Expand “+” each item in the job assembly and apply the conduit size variable from the drop-down list.
Apply these Global Variables to the job assembly Qty. Calculation.
Select the drop-down list in the Qty. Calculation column.
Select [Length] for the item “Conduit – EMT”
Select [Count] for items:
Connector – EMT Set Screw Steel
Coupling – EMT Set Screw Steel
Update Qty. Calculations as required. Example:
Conduit – EMT = [Length]
Connector – EMT Set Screw Steel = [Count]*2
Coupling – EMT Set Screw Steel = ([Length]/10)-1

14. Complete the list of Global Variable questions.
15. Hit [Enter] on your keyboard or select “OK” to finish the takeoff.
16. Click the “+” to view the results of the takeoff.
Note:
Creating job assemblies with variables can greatly reduce the amount of assemblies of the “same type” required.
Example:
Accubid Pro:
1/2" EMT with 3 #12 on concrete
1/2" EMT with 4 #12 on concrete
1/2" EMT with 5 #12 on concrete
3/4" EMT with 6 #12 on concrete
3/4" EMT with 7 #12 on concrete
3/4" EMT with 9 #12 on concrete
Accubid Anywhere:
EMT on concrete (using Conduit Size, Wire Size and # of Conductor variables).
Job Assemblies can be as basic or as complex as you wish. All mathematical functions are available as well as Boolean formula writing. Please contact EnterpriseSupport@FaithTechnologies.com if you would like more information.
