Create Report
Tools > Create Report

View and save Stall Count and Quantity Takeoff reports for selected designs, lots, and rows. Quantity Takeoff reports can also include the unit costs setup in Design Parameters -> Estimating to provide a cost estimate for the selected designs, lots, and rows.

To Create a Report:

Depending on the complexity of your drawing it may be beneficial to setup designs before creating reports. The report will be created for all lots and rows associated with a design when the design symbol is selected. Selecting a design to report on is easier than selecting each lot and/or row that you want to report on. However, it may also be desirable so select one or more lots and/or rows in addition to one or more designs. See Tools -> Design Manager.

  1. Click Create Report on the ParkCAD toolbar or ribbon.

  2. Select design symbols or lots, rows, and user drawn end islands that you want to report on. The following dialog box displays:

Create Report

  1. Click a report type button: Stall Count Report Quantity Takeoff Report or Summary Report. A report of the chosen type will display.

  2. Repeat steps 2 and 3 or right-click to end the tool.

Quantity Takeoff Report

The quantity takeoff report gives subtotals for all of the ParkCAD elements in the selected designs, lots, and/or rows as well as a total cost and cost per stall. The subtotal for each type of ParkCAD element can be included or excluded from the report by toggling the Include check box next to each element. The values used for estimating costs can be managed in Design Parameters -> Estimating.

Quantity Takeoff Report example

Show Details

The quantity takeoff report details view breaks down each lot and row to its basic ParkCAD elements. In this view it is possible to see quantities and costs for all elements.

Quantity Takeoff Report - Showing Details

Note: The report may display zero quantity values for some connecting row islands. This is because of the way ParkCAD calculates the connecting row island quantities for the report and not a fault of the way the user has created the rows in the drawing. The island quantities in this case have been calculated in other connecting rows. Therefore the individual row quantities are incorrect but the overall total is correct.

Include Estimates

Toggle this button to have the report display/hide the cost totals.
