# Mapping Quantities: Mass Assignment

**Objective**: In this video and/or step by step walkthrough, you’ll learn how to map quantities using mass assignment

                         [https://vectortakeostg.wpenginepowered.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Mapping-Quantities-Mass-Assignment.mp4](https://vectortakeostg.wpenginepowered.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Mapping-Quantities-Mass-Assignment.mp4)

#### Project Conditions

From the **Project Conditions** pane in the **TakeOff** screen of The Edge, Version 12,  left click the project condition you'd like to map quantities for

Click the drop down by **Choose Page** and select the page you would like to start with

In the pane on the right-hand side, click the **Scope** drop down and select **Section**

#### Using Filters to Finish the Mapping of Quantities

For this example, we are working with the **Single Door Condition**

- On the right-hand side, click **Families**
- Choose from **single door** Family Types
- Select the box by **Filtered Shapes** to select all door types

#### Assign Button

Left click the **Assign** button at the top of the pane

A pop up will appear asking you to confirm

Click **Yes** to continue

The 4 doors are now mapped to the **single door condition** for this page

#### Overall Quantity

**Floor Plan - Level 2** was also inserted under the **Single Door Condition**, with a count of 8 each, so the overall quantity is now (12 ea)

The **mass assignment** functionality looks across the entire section as denoted in the **scope** field and identifies whether any of the selected family types exist in other pages in the section

In this case, those door types did exist on Level 2 so they were identified and automatically mapped to this condition for that page

This is the **Mass Assignment** functionality taking effect

#### Takeoff Screen - No Filters

Let's view what this would look like if we did not use project conditions

Back on the **takeoff** screen and this time from our page pane, focus on the Level 1 Floor Plan

A **single door condition** has been inserted that is not a project condition

#### Scope Field

Left click on that **condition** to select it and make sure your **section** is in the **scope** field

You also see the additional option of **scenario.**When **mass assigning** at the **project condition** level you can only go across sections, as project conditions do not extend across scenarios

However if working with normal conditions the mass assignment functionality can read into other sections and perform automated take off there as well

- Left click **Families**
- Then click the **single door family name**
- Select the single doors
- Click **Assign**

#### Apply Changes

Click **Yes** to apply changes

Takeoff has now been aggregated for **Level 1 & Level 2**
