Projects and Chats
The Chat header
The controls at the top of a Chat.
The top of a Chat shows where you are and gives you quick ways to move around.
The buttons
| Button | What it does |
|---|---|
| Files | Opens every file in the Project. It appears on Chats inside a Project. |
| Project | Opens the Project page: the bid, its files and its other Chats. |
| Takeoff Studio | Opens the Project's drawings so you can measure beside MillOS's marks. |
| Live takeoff | Watches the saved takeoff arrive beside the Chat. It appears in a Project's Chats, and shows a dot while tasks are working. |
| Files panel button | Opens or closes the Chat's files panel. It reads Open files panel or Close files panel. |
On a small screen the buttons show their icons only.
From a Chat that is not in a Project, Takeoff Studio explains that drawings belong to a Project and offers New Project and Projects. Use Move to project on the Chat's menu to bring it into one.
The Engine menu
The Engine menu sits beside the message box. It shows the engine in use, and (default) beside the default. Its heading reads Engine, with a line saying the choice applies to every Chat in the Project, or to this Chat alone when it has no Project. Follow the default appears when you have chosen the default explicitly and lets you hand the choice back.
