# Entered Quantity Assemblies

**Objective**: In this video and/or step by step walkthrough, you’ll learn how another method of providing takeoff quantities for a VECTOR assembly known as Entered Quantity Assembly

                         [https://vectortakeostg.wpenginepowered.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Entered-Quantities.mp4](https://vectortakeostg.wpenginepowered.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Entered-Quantities.mp4)

#### Build Screen

Make sure you are on your **Build Screen** inside of your **VECTOR Bid**

Ensure your **Page** is selected and that it is utilizing a valid filter set and **REVIT Elements** are appearing on the page

#### Assemblies

Make sure you have all necessary **Assemblies** added to your **Scenario** and your relevant **Pages**

![](https://vectortakeostg.wpenginepowered.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Screenshot-2022-02-01T120800.488-e1643735314660.png)

Select an **Assembly** in your **Bid Tree**

For this example we are using **Single Door 36" x 80"**

Hover your mouse over the **Edit** button and select it

#### Edit Assembly Window

Hover your mouse over **Entered Quantities** at the bottom of the window

Click to turn the toggle on

#### Manually Enter Count

This field that allows you to manually enter a count for this assembly as opposed to drawing shapes or assigning quantities from a row of elements

Click in the field and type a value

Click **Save Assembly**

![](https://vectortakeostg.wpenginepowered.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Screenshot-2022-02-02T122020.202.png)

The value typed in the field now displays as the **Quantity** for this **Assembly** in the **Bid Tree**

![](https://vectortakeostg.wpenginepowered.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Screenshot-2022-02-02T123704.720-e1643823455665.png)

Select the other **Assembly** in the **Bid Tree**

Click **Edit**again

In the **Edit Assembly** window, click toggle on for **Entered Quantities**

#### Entered Quantities for Length Assembly

Based on what type of Assembly you are working with you will see different available fields for your **Entered Quantities**

In this example we now have a **Length** field

Click in the box under **Length** and type in a value, then click the drop-down arrow by **Select Unit**

![](https://vectortakeostg.wpenginepowered.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Screenshot-2022-02-02T124614.838.png)

#### Save Assembly

Select a **Length**, then enter a **Count**

Click **Save Assembly**

![](https://vectortakeostg.wpenginepowered.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Screenshot-2022-02-02T125429.940.png)

The quantity will now display for that **Assembly**

![](https://vectortakeostg.wpenginepowered.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Screenshot-2022-02-02T125740.883-e1643824731173.png)

#### Entered Quantities for Area Assembly

In this example we have now selected a **Page** with an **Area Assembly**

Click **Edit** again

In the **Edit Assembly** window, click toggle on for **Entered Quantities**

![](https://vectortakeostg.wpenginepowered.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Screenshot-2022-02-02T130423.264.png)

You now have an additional field labeled **Area**

![](https://vectortakeostg.wpenginepowered.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Screenshot-2022-02-02T130748.380.png)

Enter in your **Length** and select the **Unit of Measurement**

Enter a value in the **Count** field

Click **Save Assembly**

![](https://vectortakeostg.wpenginepowered.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Screenshot-2022-02-02T131120.547.png)

The quantity entered will now display for that **Assembly**

![](https://vectortakeostg.wpenginepowered.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Screenshot-2022-02-02T131333.041-e1643825639256.png)

Once an **Assembly** is identified as using **Enter Quantities** all take off tools on the right-hand side will become unavailable as well as your **Assignment** tool.

This means that once an **Assembly** is declared using **Entered Quantities** that is the only way it can receive quantities.

#### Undo Entered Quantities

To Undo **Entered Quantities**, select your **Assembly**, then click the **Edit** button

When the Edit Assembly window opens, toggle off the **Entered Quantities** button

Click **Save Assembly**

![](https://vectortakeostg.wpenginepowered.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Screenshot-2022-02-02T132228.485.png)

This will make all take off and assignment tools available again
